All of a Sudden, Software People are Worried About the Dangers of Automation. Go Figure.
<p>Last week, I had the pleasure of representing Futurice on a panel talking about <em>“The Future of Work”</em> in the context of a Finnish business event.</p>
<p>I’ve been working in software for 20 years, in all kinds of different contexts — start up, corporate, and consulting. I’ve been working since I was 15 years old, so I have also worked in a lot of non-tech contexts, from farm work to bingo parlors, to bagel shops. When I think about the future of work as an umbrella topic, I don’t only think about us in tech, and our industry.</p>
<p>In the software industry, we’re used to everything changing all the time. The idea that we have to constantly learn and evolve is so deeply embedded in our culture, that I think younger colleagues can even be frustrated if they DON’T change their career profile two or three times by the time they’re 30.</p>
