>Programmers have been so high on the hog, earning doctors salaries and thinking they are this special class of people where their jobs are totally unassailable
What makes you think doctors can't be replaced too? Just have a PA measure vitals, take down symptoms, etc and run it all through ChatGPT and let ChatGPT make the recommendation/diagnosis.. Studies will show ChatGPT produces better outcomes and it will be considered inhumane to see a real doctor, not to mention your insurance will start covering only ChatGPT visits!
Never did I say that Doctors won't be replaced. Doctors go to college for 8 years though. I know many developers who had no college and were making 100K plus within a year but treated that like it was a right.
Programming made me wealthy and I appreciate that, the ones who DIDN'T appreciate that it was a gold rush and they should have treated it as such are the ones who will suffer the most.
