    yes and no 1. the stone age was an age of the generalist although even there specialists existed 2. @visakanv claimed probably <1% can really read or write, yes and no but also yes 3. lots of people can manipulate software. your doing it nowhttps://twitter.com/amasad/status/1460030128616927234 …

    Humanity is in the middle of a transition to the Information Age, but less than 1% can make or manipulate software. If < 1% knew how to hunt during the Stone Age we would have gone extinct. If < 1% could read/write during the Industrial Age we would not have the modern world.

        the future belongs to coders. this has been clear since the 90s and only grows truer as time passes. our current struggles pitch the old priesthood against the new but the end is not in doubt. this is historic dialectical if you want to be marxist about it. it is inexorable

        the future belongs - as does the past - to the manager. Whoever can co-ordinate others will always win the lions share.

        the point of becoming an Age is that you no longer *have* to be directly involved with the creation of something to use it.

        lots of people rode on trains and wore machine-made clothing in the Industrial Revolution Age, but they weren't all engineers and foundrymen and sewing-mill workers...

        On #3, reminds me of how media defines rich as those making a bit more than DC media personalities.

        1. Software brings back generalists. Computers are universal machines 2. 🤔 3. No I’m consuming someone else’s software with little agency.

        what i mean with 2 and 3 is that im skeptical that most people will become proficient with code, in an analogous manner to the current world where many people understand language in a basic level but for practical purposes large swathes of the population are nearly unlettered
