You will get downvoted but I unfortunately agree with you; also as a SWE of similar tenure. People assume there's other things to jump to and yes in the short term there may be. But the industry already has those things on its roadmap to disrupt (i.e. generate more economic useful work). For better or worse the software career is wounded, and the AI wolves can smell blood. Its low hanging fruit that they understand and in its disruption can make a lot of money. As an industry is dying of disruption the leftover money is made in disrupting it first, this will speed up engineering efforts to kill the profession like rats in a sinking ship. Corporate stakeholders will also be the first to spend big on anything that does; they in my experience prefer communicators, and people accountable, not people who deliver. It was a good ride. I could never of imagined this trajectory 3 years ago. | ||
