What Hacker News says?
Author is (was?) a Growth Product Manager at Dropbox. https://www.elenaverna.com/p/growth-at-dropbox This is a completely fake piece where she poses as a programmer, cites inevitability and finally comes to the conclusion that the skills she possesses will be the more valuable ones in the future. This is really a "generation-sell" caricature.
