And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.
It is… distressing to align and agree with such a darkly bleak take on where the tech industry and software engineering in general has gone. But everything in there resonates with a truly honest and depressing accuracy.
