Dangerous comparisons. Finance and AI ruin the economy and a strongman will create jobs in 2033?

That is the part DHH does not get. Nobody will protect him from the gypsies (his words) if all are unemployed.

> I must admit that for a few days I felt very depressed about it all. Not about “AIs writing all the code” - that much is clear to me, and I do not lament the changing landscape of the craft

If you're not under pressure to vibe code for work, and you still like writing the code, I don't understand this sentiment. People coding on their own time won't be left behind. It's your own time to use as you like. And if you want to take a longer time to hand craft a library or your pet project, more power to you.

Sure, if you need help from the AI for something too difficult, time consuming or tedious, that makes sense. But the idea that everyone needs give up hand coding is absurd. This also isn't true for all paid programming work and will continue not to be, despite the marketing hype.

I mean, considering what came after the Weimar era, I'm not sure if this is meant to make me feel reassured...
