The death of the desktop computer means autodidacticism at scale is over for coding. It will be either CS education or

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
