Maybe I can spent my days as a software developer drinking cocktails by the pool yelling prompts into the machine soon, but so far I am not concerned I’ll be replaced anytime soon.
That’s the dream.
And it’s really why all the AI hype makes me angry.
I want to tell people who buy the hype, “Bitch, do I look retired to you?! Does anything you know about me suggest to you that I wouldn’t have 11 separate consulting engagements cranking out money and code if AI could do these things?”
It’s a bit insulting when peers think AI is magic, and open source, but somehow has not bent to obey my will the same as every other technology I have ever touched.
I think I might need a cape, and some kind of wrist computer with wires pouring out of it. Maybe that would fix my brand image problem…
Edit: Maybe they think I’m just keeping it all to myself, and telling them it’s pretty good for autocomplete to throw them off the trail…
