This post, where someone from one field decides to do something they love but in another field, reminds me of the below: At my kids' elementary school there is a yearly "Dad's Night" show where the dads get up and do skits, dance, sing and/or make funny videos. You get to see dads who sell insurance or are lawyers do dance numbers that look professionally choreographed or make music videos that look like they could have been on MTV. It's a reminder that "The Sort" pulls people very strongly into certain fields but there is always that question, from the movie Up In The Air and asked by George Clooney, "How much did they pay you to give up your dream?" [0] Part of me is VERY excited to see AI/LLMs help facilitate this for the people who always thought "I have always wanted to write a piece of software but didn't know how and now I can!" 0 - ▶ this video
I've been reminded of the "Up in the Air" film from the last recession, where George Clooney flew around the country firing people ▶ this video The film included a lot of people who had really been fired and what their honest reactions were
