This is such an amazing talk from Dr. Erik Meijer (Erik Meijer, famous for his work on Visual Basic, C#, LINQ, Hack), on how LLMs upended his research, and are changing coding and what developers do. I've clipped some of my fave parts of his talk: - His team found that the specialized models they built to do codegen, and find/fix bugs at Meta were completely outclassed by ChatGPT. They were surprised that ChatGPT could write Hack code, despite it not being used widely outside of Facebook. (👩💻 Paige Bailey has talked about the phenomenon of Gemini and general-purpose frontier models outperforming and replacing older/smaller specialized models built over the years throughout Google.)

Created by Jeffrey Snover (Jeffrey Snover), PowerShell is widely heralded for bringing real UNIX-style scripting to Windows. I've loved its creation story, both in his talks and the book, "Shell of An Idea." The heroic story of its creation is epic and awesome — told against the backdrop of Microsoft Windows 2000, .NET, Exchange, and so many other technologies that were ascendant while I was in my 20s. But another amazing part of the story is how PowerShell changed the careers of so many Windows admins. Here's a fantastic interview of Snover by ScriptRunner 🤖, where Jeffrey talks about how rewarding it was when someone told him that learning PowerShell tripled his salary and allowed him to send his daughter to college, marking a first in their family's history. It's just one example of how people's careers were massively up-leveled by becoming more than "click-next admins." (This likely has some real parallels to many technology areas being potentially impacted by AI) Source:
