@plexus and my last point is that "us, developers" are an anomaly in the job market, well paid workers with many benefits doing the job they love. An anomaly that VCs want to be fixed...

@plexus adding to this what about losing the craft? If you just review the produced code and never practice the craft anymore, you will lose it and then what?
There are tons of other things going on in my mind and at the top my 12 yrs old kiddo is getting hooked into programming without using LLMs. What should I say to him? Don't worry too much, do a shitty job you don't like because a bunch of VC sharks decided that's better to invest in machines than humans?

@plexus It's honestly hard to express how I see it. As someone that has always been interested in tech I'm honestly curious about anything new but at the same time I don't like all the hidden natural and human cost behind it. I also hate being forced to use it because "we need to be an AI first company" and what I see here is the same process again: we hook you up, we lock you in and then we enshittify everything.
