Everybody did think becoming a developer is where it was at, so a lot of people did, now these people looking at an ever tightening job market (even before AI) with LLM’s possibility annihilating the need for their expertise entirely at some point.

At least maybe people will stop telling other people what to do. It’s obvious we don’t know what is relevant next week, much less in 10 years.

All these people that are now told to school themselves for manual labour are being set up to run into the same thing. Especially when those chineese bots inevitably also escape the gadget level.

There are no “AI safe” jobs. Even if it can’t do your job (yet) all the people that are made redundant and need new work will be flooding remaining markets.

Prioritize your health. Living on energy drinks and pizza’s looks fine in your twenties but then you head towards your fourties and you take meds for things like hypertension and fight a neverending war against your waist size.

I just accept that nothing ever looks perfect and do as much as possible myself. Especially since covid and the labour shortages contractors are paid in gold bars.

Basicly the only thing I still really get professionals for when liability a factor. Structural work, gas fed system, or more complex electrical work. Basicly anything that when it’s not done correctly it could hurt or kill people, i still don’t wanna risk cowboying myself.
