I seem to be the last one they tell anything to.
Is everyone up to speed on what is coming down the pike for design development.
I have in my modest way have spent my life solving mechanics problems designing things that do work or are parts of structures.
I have always enjoyed the challenge.
But I always thought the whole craft was getting real world experience so one refines the skills with materials and technique to meet the days problem with a robust solution.
It appears overnight I have been obsoleted...
"What are the advantages of generative design?"
"Generative design has several great benefits:"
"Breaking down creativity barriers
Firstly, the designer’s creativity is no longer a limiting factor. The software can come up with design proposals that engineers have not, or barely, thought of, breaking down the restrictions of human creativity."

I'm no longer the limiting factor....
Well I have always been the limiting factor- I am sorta slow and distractible but when on task can bring to bear the experience and a native talent for the work.
It sounds like "talent" just got cut out of the loop and my one skill strong enough to offset my weaknesses has been replaced with a couple of bucks of cloud computing time.
Ok- I am just bitter as the world is truly moving on.
And it moved on some time ago apparently:
Autodesk and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory partner to build interplanetary lander - 3D Printing Industry
I guess management is just being polite and hoping I retire before they have to push me out the door...
