I just assume these sorts of takes are engagement bait at this point. If you think knowing how to actually code is useless then you're not working on difficult problems sorry.
Struggling with how to reconcile:

Manage scarcity. Build abundance.
Ubering into downtown San Francisco, every ad looks like desperation. All agent stuff nobody will use. Haven't seen anything that a CIO should or would buy. It's all starting to look like the same ad.
SFO airport has an intriguing problem. it flies so many sf tech workers that the TSA PreCheck line is always significantly longer than the regular line
