You know I kinda thought we Videogame developers shot ourselves in the foot with the commercialization (and then opensourcing) of powerful game engines...back in 2012.
10 years later I've only seen script kiddies think they're programmers and very lame games come to market. I'm not saying all future Shigeru Miyamoto's have to have intimate knowledge of the bare metal, but it does help to know what sinful fun you can get away with making.
I have to conclude that people who love getting their hands dirty and can fix what they created...will always be the gods the computer world pray to whilst they live.
A.I. replacing genius, in my lifetime, is little more than a funny joke.

The idea is that in some distant future, jobs like project manager, product manager, and marketing manager will still be critical but programmers themselves will be extinct as a result of the tools they created.
Which is a train of thought that has existed as long as computers existed in any real form.
Which went hand in hand for the same amount of time with the claim that in 'just a few years' everyone will have a robot that will do your housework and other day to day chores.
Myself I am still holding out for the faster than light space ship.
But I suspect that outside of movies none of those will ever exist.

Launching a camera at 1/5th launch speed (only 1000mph / 1600kph) straight up.
May induce nausea - starts while spinning up in the accelerator.

They should call the launcher a SpinDizzy after SF writer James Blish's antigravity space drive.

we'll try to get you a fresh one as soon as we can because the patty on this one fell on the floor.
No, seriously, one of our partners sent us some corrupt files.
I told them.
They said they already knew.
... Soooo... why did you send them when you knew they were corrupt...?

hoping against hope that you wouldn't actually look at it for a few days. I know of a student who used to rename pictures with "My Term paper1.docx" MSWord would have a cow trying to open it. and he would get a few more days to work on said paper.
Student syndrome. They aren't done yet and probably sent something along that line is my first guess in situations like this. I quite often open in NotePad++ and look to see if the headers say something different than the file extension says.
