We do this every 15 years. For anyone less than 15 years into their career, welcome to the party.

Let's see if I can save you some energy:

  • Yes, it made my job massively easier.
  • No, it didn't replace me.
  • Yes, it allowed a bunch of new people to also do the job I do. Welcome newbies!
  • No, my salary didn't go down, relative to inflation.

It turns out that the last mile to a successful product delivery is still really fucking hard, and this magic bullet tool also didn't solve that.

Now... Am I talking about...?

  • AI?
  • Web frameworks?
  • English like programming language syntax?
  • A compiler with built-in type checking?
  • All of the above.

Edit: Formatting for readability.

No, my salary didn't go down, relative to inflation.

I'm calling bullshit on that one.

Everybody's salary except executives has gone down relative to inflation going all the way back the the 80s.

There are other countries than the US of A.

Isn't the US the one place that actually pays devs properly?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

No. Plenty of places pay devs well. Top end jobs are mostly in the US. There are plenty of well paying jobs elsewhere.

And I'm so happy for you, really I am
