I've been hearing stories like this for the last two or three years. Computer Science professors having to teach freshmen what a file system is. Are you ready for a world where the elderly dominate coding? 1/3

The death of the desktop computer means autodidacticism at scale is over for coding. It will be either CS education or teaching coders of the next generation. People under 20 will natively understand photo, video and social media marketing however. 2/3

I expect vastly fewer super star coders. The age of the exceptional software engineer is over. The ability to maintain large code bases will decay and legacy features and systems will fail noticeably: The equivalent of a Californian power outage but online. 3/3
