All the people who choose a foreign language over coding are being vindicated.

AI and tech will never be able to make that look not uncanny in a business or social interaction, whereas it is making a non 10x coder redundant as we speak.

The real important stuff happens in person , that's how you solidify relationships and commitment to each other , AI and tech will never substitute that, you either can speak Spanish when you head to Mexico City to close a deal or not
