The traditional engineering career path, characterized by a T-shaped distribution of skills, where breadth and depth are equally important, is being transformed by the rapid pace of technological change. Engineers will need to adapt quickly to new technologies and be open to learning newer skills, rather than focusing on a single area of expertise for an extended period. The rise of "endless newbies" means that engineers will need to have a wider base of skills and knowledge, with less emphasis on vertical depth in any one technology. This shift requires engineers to be more agile and adaptable, embracing cross-pollination of skillsets and being willing to unlearn existing skills as new technologies emerge. The goal is not to become a worse engineer, but rather to become better equipped to deal with the changing landscape, by learning new things quickly and adapting to new changes.
