That medieval farmer, would not understand that there will be a need for management consultants, flight attendants and software developers just as today we can’t imagine the new needs for software that will be there in 20, 30 or 100 years. Likewise they ignore the concept that richer, more productive humans invent all kinds of new “needs” that they want met. ![]() Underlying both these fallacies is the same wrong idea that demand is fixed and so that increased productivity negates the need for workers. “Every worker knows how to read?!! That’s crazy! Why would we train everyone to read? Who is going to pay for that? Why do you need to know how to read to run a farm? Am I going to read Thomas Aquinas to my sheep? Ha, ha, ha.

In fact, it’s not inconceivable that almost every working professional will include some software development as part of their job. If I had to guess, in 20–30 years, there will be 10 times as many software developers. ![]() It’s simply a productivity enhancing tool. But this is really the same thing that people are saying today who worry that the software profession will be made obsolete by AI. So, I bet in 2019 there are fewer than 50 software developers in the whole world.” My productivity is easily 100 times higher. Someone plays with it a bit and says “This is fantastic, incredible. You show them Python and SQL and a modern software stack. Imagine going back to 1960 where there probably about 5000 programmers in the world. Can AI replace software engineers in the next 20 years?
