When a blinking cursor on a screen awaited my input for the very first time, I could not possibly have anticipated that this technology would soon open up a whole new dimension for the world to live in. Having been born about six months after the Beatles split up, I happened to be in the right place at the right time when a bunch of nerds succeeded in bringing computers to the home.
Now, after more than 40 years of coding as a hobby and over 25 years of software engineering as a profession, once again a blinking cursor (caret, really) awaits my input. Only this time the machine answers in far more elaborate ways than simply stating "ERROR". The more I use AI, the more evident it becomes to me that this is not just another paradigm shift like web, mobile, or cloud were.
This is a new beginning. A new dimension is opening up.
The new rules are that there will be all new rules.
And that we do not yet know any of these new rules.
This is the starting point for my ventures into the future of software, work, and business.
