AI obsolescence is “coming for basically everyone in due time,” says one engineer who went from earning $150k to being locked out of the workforce for over a year.
Oh come on, we cannot expect this class unconscious wannabe professional vibe coder to have market awareness. A lot of software developers are people who basically won the lottery (got into the right field at the right time) and think they deserved all of it. They think the poor people who were in other careers are just worse than them and that’s why they’re poor.
He doesn’t understand why unseen people aren’t clamoring to pay him $150k/year to browse Reddit when they don’t even have to anymore to provide the illusion to the market that they’re software companies.
That’s right guys, some of this is about impressions and stock prices and always has been. It was the case before chatgpt and friends that you’d have to have a slew of engineers doing stuff to look like a tech company. No longer. Even the big tech companies are doing away with lots of people. So now to look like a tech company you have to keep saying AI into a mirror and hope it conjures up a bunch of new investors.
