Skills are like Perl during the dot-com era.

Write-only text, that works for some people.

What do we learn from Perl projects which survived:

1. Document
2. Test-driven development
3. Structure them
4. Segment the concerns into layers of information
5. Less is more

All it'd take is one clever math result demonstrating you don't need absolutely gigantic neural networks trained on mind-bogglingly-huge datasets to achieve the AI goals of most companies, and NVIDIA's hardware dominance evaporates. Why would you spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on a GPU that uses 300 Watts of power when you could achieve the same thing with an ASIC or FPGA that uses 3 Watts? This is already true for many applications, but apparently it hasn't been widely realized yet. It'll be hard to ignore if/when it becomes true for the vast majority of applications. Which it could.
