Tech is dividing the society and driving a wedge deeper. There is a huge population that are being thrown wayside by the high-speed tech highway. Which means the tech is getting more and more unreachable.
AI assistants are only going to make this worse, by removing the direct touch between users and the tech. Tech becomes just unmanageable for average person.
Just like how you were able to do all repairs for your bike, as a kid. But you can't do the same for your car now. Tech never gets easier or reachable.
I think this is a very solid take. Moreoever, tech will be optimized for LLMs and not humans. Shitty languages will remain shitty because there's no need to optimise them or make them more elegant. Web dev will remain ultra fragmented and will get even worse as the years go by.
Not going to lie, it looks like a bleak future.
