I think recent history has made Solows paradox more interesting than Jevons, which is mostly a thing talked about by people with something to sell related to AI it seems, and less so by economists. Seems to have applied much better early in the industrial revolution. I'm not sure economists even work on Jevons anymore (or if it was ever a very interesting topic for them, the writing on it seems very sparse in comparison).



In either case, developers won't have to worry about career longevity.
