Generative AI

Everyone's catastrophising, "AI will replace devs”, “learn to code is dead", "we're all Cooked”. I think we are all looking at it backwards. There's a concept called Jevons Paradox that when a resource becomes dramatically efficient, you don't consume less of it. You find a thousand new reasons to use it. Steam engines didn't reduce coal demand, they made coal so useful that consumption exploded. Cars didn't reduce the need for roads, they invented the suburb.
