Thanks for the reply and thoughts. Given that no one really knows, it's sound advice to follow one's interests. Additional understanding and skills will also be a net positive. Still, being on the verge of something so transformative makes me wonder if we need to update our typical career questions/audits. Updated to what seems to be the current question though...

If you were getting involved with programming as a novice today, is there a particular discipline or niche you'd recommend? Certain skills or tools you'd focus on? Also, are there non-technical aptitudes you think are worth training up on to stay relevant in the AI/LLM future?
