The AI explosion has forced me to think about this quote from The Sovereign Individual.

Is Steak N Shake hiring?

"If you are still at the stage of selecting a career, resist the temptation of jumping to an easy conclusion that the best route to success in the Information Age is to become a computer programmer. Yes, it is true that programmers have been in great demand as the Information Revolution unfolded in the last quarter of the twentieth century. But as computational power has increased, artificial intelligence has developed apace. A company called Authorgenics has already demonstrated the capacity to create object-oriented software without programmers. You won’t be highly paid by studying to do something that can be done with Aladdin’s Lamp."
