Hard and Soft Skills in Tech
Given many folks use tech to escape real-world interaction with messy, untrustworthy and corrupt people, finding their fantasy world in getting awesome things done, I doubt the hard skills will be replaced by soft ones. This is actually a symptom of sociopathic tendencies taking over tech which is a marker for &quot;dark ages&quot; coming, and neutralizing any progress coming from tech. The sociopaths finally figured out tech and will use it to enforce their agendas to detriment of most of us as we will be forced to spend our time on things we don&#x27;t believe in and lie to each other we do meaningful things for betterment of humanity, which we won&#x27;t. All large corps are becoming politically loaded places where one expression of &quot;wrongthink&quot; eclipses any achievements an individual did in the past, nuking future career. As sociopaths can&#x27;t really compete on hard skills, they push soft-skill, touchy-feely agendas, identified as weak spots of techies that can&#x27;t handle them reasonably in many cases.
