I'm pretty young and hate this technology with a passion. I didn't spend 100k on education, and studying for a decade to have my job reduced to being a project manager for a bot or to play with a prompt slot machine all day. This crap is reducing the thing I genuinely love doing more than anything, writing code, into nothing.. Reviewing code that lacks any sweat, any intention. I really can't stand this garbage.

I can't stand you old heads, I'm very happy for you that you got to stash away 40 years of SWE salaries. Its just ladder kicking behavior to be honest. Typical boomer, you got your nut and don't care what happens after.

25% of new college grads in STEM are unemployed and a bunch of companies (controlled by people in your age group) have laid off 400k Americans over the last 16 months while equities and profits are at an all time highs.

Software jobs have been steadily outpacing other white collar jobs for the past year, but it's unlikely you will find one unless you work on your attitude and your ability to communicate respectfully.

The world is changing and instead of embracing that change (ensuring that you will be the next leader) you are actively fighting against technology?

The world was once entirely analog; generations of analog engineers had to throw away their knowledge and start over during the digital transition. It wasn't always pretty but they did it.

If you can't embrace technological change you might have wasted $100k.

So to summarize, your objections are almost completely unrelated to the technology, and are mostly about capitalism.
