True, but what happens to Europe/Nato when it finds out U.S isn't gonna protect it anymore? Bad news. Huge spend on defense, higher debt, etc.

Med isnt immune to automation or remote work as well (telemedicine)...its surprising a bit. I would be really surprised if there isnt tons of automation 10-20 years from now. Nurses are pretty well protected though.

I'm saying for anyone's own mental health, we shouldn't expect constant praise and positivity from comments. You're gonna read stuff you won't like on the internet.

It's completely unrealistic Elixir (or anything else - Julia, whatever) will replace Python as the main AI/ML language, that's what I wanted to convey. I agree I was being a bit too snarky but what I said is true and was an a

I don't know that a truck driver or a nurse has a better social life than a software developer. Sounds plausible but far from certain.

Even if they raise it 3-4 times it would still be extremely low historically.

Everything he said is spot on. I suspect algorithm interviews are optimized for FAANGS - e.g if you can do the whiteboard and coderpad under pressure and interruptions you'd statistically do well in FAANG. I suppose that's true ot

Still. For some data scientist who knows nothing about programming, or for some CS student getting started with his first programming assignment - which is easier - Python or Scala? I'd say Python, by a lot.
