I can agree with a lot of that, and I'd add I'm frankly fed up playing the betatester for bananaware. Even before AI got all hyped up - keeping up with the constant churn, the constant feeling of "don't these people even test their own fucking code examples" was nerve-wracking. And AI made all of that infinitely worse because so, so much stuff just smells like someone had thrown a prompt into Claude Code or Openclaw or whatever and didn't even try to test it out of their specific usecase, much less actually understand it.

I left the field for good, going to study electrical engineering. Even if the planning part of that will be taken over by AI (it's inevitable), good luck to the vampire bloodsucker capitalist elites trying to design a robot wiring up plugs. Trades are the future.
