Twenty-five years ago I drove taxi for a few years and during training they were very clear that relying on gps prohibits you from learning. Taxi people knew that.
For the last fifteen years I've been a software engineer and in this field, the ability to pick up and maintain knowledge are cornerstones of the job. Having someone do your tasks for you will degrade your abilities to get said tasks done. CS people knows that.
Management however thinks that we will not need those skills in the future.
Because a good chunk of c-suite management jobs are mostly a bullshit job designed to give trust fund kids some sort of career. Their jobs are the most easily replaced by automation since most of what they do is bitching at people via emails.
As someone who's been on both sides we're all just trying to do what's best for keeping people paid. Unless you work in a PE company and you're constantly sucking the boards cocks so you dont get fired.
Do you believe the majority of taxi drivers don't use GPS?
