I'll admit to bias here but I find this article bizarrely wrongheaded: http://a16z.com/2014/07/30/the-happy-demise-of-the-10x-engineer/ … The function is converging on 1, not 0.

@avibryant@chadfowler It seems to me that if anything, converging on one makes the quality of that "one" more relevant, not less. -
@erniemiller@avibryant@chadfowler remove the article’s title / last sentence and you get an accurate but banal description of “progress” -
@erniemiller@avibryant@chadfowler keep them and you get OMG THOUGHT LEADER FUTURIST

@avibryant@chadfowler & sounds like the demise of the 10x eng. is due to the rise of the 100x. By that I mean 1 engineer can do more today.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avibryant I'd also argue that better abstractions just allow us to take on more complicated problems, which moves the goal posts.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avibryant Wasn't death of software engineering profession predicted several times before? Computers were going to program themselves...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
