Hardly. You still need:

1. An in depth understanding of Physics, History, Literature, and Philosophy. You can just make up whatever you want in Economics, Sociology, and Bitcoins as fits your political leanings.

2. Learn to resist weapons grade grammar analysis.

3. Learn to recognize sarcasm in short, written text.

What we need now is a text-to-speech engine programmed with The Mary Whitehouse Experience's "Man With A Sarcastic Tone Of Voice".

And Chinese or Japanese, especially characters; the argument of material design is much better replaced by everyone learning Chinese characters and just using that. HN is happy to contribute its wisdom to all fields.
