We somehow have more programming jobs now than ever. Those kids learning programming with LLMs may not end up writing code by hand but they will still be building stuff with computers.
Up till now software was mostly an arms race between competitors because of software’s low marginal cost and high utility. Now with ZIRP over and many of parts of the industry consolidating, I fear enshittification is a sign that the good times are over and we will now be milked to make up for all the profit lost the industrialists lost to the plebs.
