"Back in my day, I got a job at google right after college and it was awesome! My code was elegant! You guys are FUCKED!"

I agree that AI is creating mega changes, many very bad, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea or even true to tell GenZ people they're fucked. We don't know if they're fucked.

I think they could have a ton of fun with software and I think it's OK to be encouraging about that.
