Which I don't think can be replaced by AI in a lot of cases. I think in the software world we are used to things being shared, open and easily knowable, but a great deal of industry and enterprise domain knowledge is locked up inside in companies and will not be in the training data.

That's why it's such a big deal for an enterprise to have on prem tools, to avoid leaking industry processes and "secrets" (the secrets are boring, but still secrets).

A little career advice in there too I guess. At least for now, you're a bit more secure as a developer in industries that aren't themselves software, is my guess.

Yes. I try to visit my customers as often as I can, to learn how they work and to see the production processes on site. I consider it to be one of the most valuable things I can do for the future of my business.
