How do you deal with the fact the golden age of programming is over?
Just a few years ago, your skills were invaluable. Your future was bright.
Now your skills are worthless in the wake of Claude Code and Codex, the future of tech is a smoldering pile of rubble.
Apparently even asian women don't go for white tech bros anymore.

Good this means only the truly interested will remain. Posers who seek wealth or asian pussy please leave. Thank you.

This
Also, building webshit and writing "select * from" corporate shovelware shouldn't be considered programming.

>>108572779
I'm a thirdie, so it won't affect me as much.

I'll become farmer, the world needs good farmers

>Now your skills are worthless
the reason we were able to become programmers in the first place is high IQ. This doesn't vanish except by aging.
We'll be fine.

>spreads FUD that will temporarily depress our wages
>long term will lead to SWE shortages and therefore our salaries going even higher than before
thanks anon, keep up the good work

administrative roles, email jobs, compete with foids
if you are lucky you might be able to automate your job for a few years before it becomes clear how useless the job is

I put trust in Jesus and I've never needed anything else, jobs come and go but i always have enough money to cover the basics for my family
its all good

>>108572779
Oh no, baby, the golden age of programming is just beginning. In the ~3 years from now pendulum will swing so much back ot will fuck the clock

Within or outside of tech?

The reckless manner in which many SWEs are using AI agents right now will definitively backfire, but do you really think SWEs will go back to hand-coding?

You're not high IQ.

some hopium
>anthropic et al. fail to generate profit and all feasible llms fall back to being better autocomplete
>generative ai is seen as an investor trap and a new ai winter happens
>fewer people "learning to code" or going into cs for an easy job with high pay
>way more code and technical debt to deal with
>>
>>108572779
>your skills are irrelevant because of slop that doesn't even fucking work half the time
Great point. However, you a retard.

NTA, but how else are you going to unfuck everything other than with "hand coding"? The term alone makes it sound like some long lost arcane knowledge lol.
>>
>>108577305
Desu, I don't see any other way of playing it all out other than this. Throwing billions at LLMs will not make them intelligent so it will all break at some point.
>>
>>108572779
Most software will turn to shit in no time without skilled people writing the prompts and checking the code. The era of unstoppable and irreversible technical debt has arrived.
