> Honestly, it almost seems like someone is destroying the IT industry on purpose.

They're not, it's just that (unfortunately for all of us here) it's shrinking to more normal dimensions now that it's no longer being watered by a ceaseless flow of money.




Those dimensions are becoming ever smaller with the advancement of A.I.

Now that companies have their golden goose, they no longer need plain humans. After all, A.I. does not eat, it doesn't sleep and it does not get sick.


In the short term, AI is creating jobs. If your code is replaceable by AI, you are definitely a replaceable coder without AI.


It may not get sick, but it does hallucinate. ;)


And it still doesn’t quote bash variables properly.


Sounds human enough to me


Yeah, exactly. As if the flow of money drying up wasn't enough.
