> Transformative for the better? Time will tell I suppose

That's the point of the blog post. If you can't even say right now whether it's for the better, then there's no reason to rush in.

I read OP as saying it is transformative, at least for them. Whether it's transformative for society is left to be decided.

And conversely if it is, then there is no point to getting in early since the whole point is to externalize knowledge and experience
