    The reason programmers are cooked isn’t because AI can do the job, bit because idiots in leadership have decided that it can.

        Of all the desk jobs, programmers are least likely to be doing bullshit jobs that it doesn’t matter if it’s done by a glorified random number generator.

        Like I never heard a programmer bemoan that they do all this work and it just vanishes into a void where nobody interacts with it.

        The main complaint is that if they make one tiny mistake suddenly everybody is angry and it’s your fault.

        Some managers are going to have some rude awakenings.

          I’m honestly really surprised to hear this. Not a professional programmer and have never acquired a full-time job, but it was still my impression that tons of code just gets painstakingly developed, then replaced, dropped, or lost in the couch cushions, based on how I’ve seen and heard of most organizations operating lol.

      1. Programmers invent AI
      2. Executives use AI to replace programmers
      3. Executives rehire programmers for thousands of dollars an hour to fix AI mistakes.
