I saw @case.bsky.social's share of the No Jobs for Horses article (2016) which made me go gather up the Jobs Below the API articles, with the Forbes article chart being the one that likely many saw at the time. 10 years ago!

Chart by Forbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2015/02/04/google-cabs-and-uber-bots-will-challenge-jobs-below-the-api/

Titled Dead End Jobs Below the API, Above the API Jobs starts shrinking from 2005 with a Below the API Jobs (Tasl APIs), and then 2020? a Below the API Robots (Automation) section

…I happened to read back over some other recent posts.

This little mini thread, Waiting for the Future to Load, is great:

The Future is not what you think. People trained on self driving cars or notions from the 1950s are ill-prepared to see what's actually growing behind the scenes, out of public view. It's not like anything on social media right now. It's in the cracks, almost imperceptible.

And yes indeed:

We've stayed in this timeline for a long time. What will it take to get out of the 2010s?
