I won't have to switch careers since I'm a software engineer instead of a developer that does nothing but implement specifications with no creativity or design work. I will have to keep up with the changing technology landscape though like I have been for my entire career.

Hardware that can assume the states you’d creatively conjure is on the way.

Your special literacy isn’t all that. It was a stop gap until hardware caught up. SWE gigs was something politics saw as a “create jobs” opportunity.

Chip makers see the opportunity is there to claim more of the tech valuations for themselves reducing the number of software “engineers” and are coming for ya with global politics on their side. Not just the normies sick of IT.

if robotics hasn't been solved yet, I'll become a robotics researcher. if robotics is solved, I'll research autonomous research. if automated research and robotics are solved, there are no more jobs. in any industry. at least not for long.

I figure the AI is a long way from understanding why the dev environment is pointed to the test database, while the test environment is pointed to the dev database. lol
