You cutoff a generation of juniors from employment and learning , the seniors are gone and it's all harnesses and AI systems.

I'm not all gloom and doom but the treatment of junior engineers is something I think we will either regret or rejoice. Either will have a spur of creative people doing their own independent thing or we'll have lost a generation of great engineers.

This is not happening at least for 25 years, is what seniors I trust tell me.

I'd say closer to 10-15 but... I'm not sure the point you're making. Is it okay because it's 25 years in the future?

		If we try hard enough, we can destroy the planet before we get there, I guess? 25 years is not a long time.

		Yes and that’s why I can charge premium rates for debugging. Most people cannot read a stack trace anymore.

		And that’s going to cause serious issues when people like Linus die and nobody knows how to make operating systems anymore. We’ve been coasting along on a single generation who have ruled with iron fists.
