On the Space Coast 915Mhz Signal someone shared that while in the DC area the local mesh was doing community events weekly.

The Deep Blue

I’ve been thinking about the "Deep Blue" from various perspectives lately.

  • Will I remain relevant as a software engineer?
  • Will my teenage son, aspiring to be a software engineer, face easier or more challenging job prospects compared to my own experience?
  • Does pursuing a college degree in software engineering still make sense for him (or anyone else aspiring to enter the field)?
  • Will I be able to secure employment in a software-related role for the next 10-20 years?

Those are just a few off the top of the dome.
