Andrej Karpathy said once, that ..”ultimately, everything is automatable”, and as for me - it’s very likely. So I choose principle three: be proficient with AI tools.

The easiest thing IMO is probably to just pick a career path that isn’t reducible to a person doing something on a computer.

If I were 20 again and picking future-proof careers, personally I think I’d go into sailing / ships or become a chef. Neither are easy jobs and the income is less than working in tech, but I don’t see Claude replacing ship captains or head chefs anytime in the next fifty years.

Or you can build your own business, at least you are the owner so it’s kinda hard to layoff yourself unless willingly.

Interesting counter-intuitive tip on WFH. The study called out looks more like a co-relation and not a causation.
