Travel agents took 10 years to collapse, developers are three years in

Travel agents took 10 years to collapse. Developers are 3 years in.

Travel agents are the classic example of an industry killed by the internet. Software engineering is facing the same disruption, but the timeline is compressed.

My #introduction needs a refresh.

I'm a #PhD student at the University of #Vermont, studying the #Evolution of #Evolvability. I'm into #AI, #ALife, #Biology, and #Philosophy, because I want to understand #life, #adaptation, and #intelligence using my native language of #ComputerScience. I share my musings and #research on my #blog. I love #science generally, and am full of bitchy #AcademicChatter.

I was a #SoftwareEngineer in #SiliconValley for many years, but left in 2021. I'm glad I did, and now I feel a bit betrayed by the #TechIndustry. I've been going back to my #FOSS roots, and gradually #DeGoogle ing my life. I still love to talk about #code #craft, #UX, and healthy #engineering #culture. Recently I've been enjoying #gpu #programming, mostly in #taichilang.

I have a wife and a #cat. I love #nature, #photography, #cooking, and #yoga.

All kinds of people are valid and worthy, but #trans people, folks on the #autism spectrum, and #bipoc get a shout out right now because they need our support.

The tech industry's layers are remarkably fluid.

Abstractions like Fastlane, CI providers, or generated projects filled critical gaps. But as layers evolve, some become unnecessary.

At Tuist, automation is mostly LLMs + bash now. We're moving to vanilla Xcode projects as the ecosystem matures. GitHub's "runs-on" was a similar shift.

Building a company? Balance sales with product. Lose the ability to spot these shifts, and your solution might become obsolete.
