While the term AI was coined in 1956, real AI has just begun. Read the Harvard history of AI. Especially the segment called “The Future”. https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/history-artificial-intelligence/ Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Thursday, September 14, 2023, 7:12 AM, Bernd

Ray’s words. Cut and pasted from his response to a question about the direction of assembler programming.  “I'll be honest - it's getting smaller and smaller. It's become a niche, mainly for system tools ISVs. Metal C is where the invisible hand of IBM is pushing the industry.” There is

Potential positions? Either you have positions or you don’t. Or, you have positions and no applicants. Which once again proves my point. Don’t waste your time learning a dying skill. As stated by Assembler expert Ray Mullins.  Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Wednesday, September 13, 2023,

I’m not conflating anything. You don’t understand markets. Let’s use carburetor mechanics. These numbers are only used as an example. In 1970, there was very likely 100,000 mechanics who could work on carburetors. Because nearly every car had one. In 2023, I’d bet it’s maybe 1000. Because very

Re: Assembler, was: AI expert hot new position

Predictions are risky, but I'm going to expose myself just for fun: My bet is that these salaries represent a bubble that won't last long. AI is the latest cool thing, right? These are correspondingly cool numbers, but I'm thinking the bubble will burst. Soon? I dunno. What's "soon"?

Re: Assembler, was: AI expert hot new position

Bill, it sounds to me like you're conflating two things, ie how many assembler programmers are needed with how much such a programmer can make. You've been saying the market for assembler programmers is doomed to decline (and I have no opinion to offer on that), and you conclude that therefore

A generalist will rarely be unemployed. A specialist will usually make more money but only until the skillset involved begins to decline or is phased out. Assembler programming has been in decline for decades. >From Dice.com September 2022. There’s a pervasive myth that being able to program

I didn't want to get into the firefight... however, the commentary here encouraged me to do so. My own belief (whether founded or not) is that if you follow your passion and become good at it, someone will recognize that and feel it is valuable enough to pay for it.   I also believe that

I've long observed that no matter what your employer hired you for, what you turn out to be good at is what they use you for. At one location I was the only one who bothered to figure out what was wrong with the big greenbar printer when it went haywire; before I left, therefore, I was the one

As a now retired freelance z/OS guy  based in Munich/Germany I had to find a market niche at my employer. Therefore I specialized on debugging, analysis of dumps and the like. For those tasks HLASM was inevitable. My colleagues preferred more comfortable tasks and languages and therefore I
