Older IT Workers Left Out Despite Tech Talent Shortage
&gt; One problem is that some older IT workers who get too comfortable with their skills risk falling behind, especially in the era of artificial intelligence<p>I am 38, I am in the gap they point out, and I almost fell in it because for too long I thought deep learning was a hype that would eventually die out. I had to have a client force me to look into it to realize that half of my skillset in computer vision became obsolete almost overnight, and the other half is eroding quickly.<p>We think we know better than the youngsters and in several fields, that&#x27;s painfully obvious, but let&#x27;s not be oblivious to the fact that tech still evolves and that half of our job is catching up with it.
