Well I disagree, at least in Europe - i don't know the state of the US market.

Sure, promotions are harder to get, but the "ladder hasn't collapsed" and many companies I know (at least in tech) will reward above-average dedication (that average being quite low...).

Same mental state i'm now, back from holidays. AI-free diet for a while. Nothing scarier than realizing that "smart" laziness was simply hiding the beginning of incompetence.

I don't know if this is the end of programming, but i can clearly observe the gradual end of expertise in my company - people slowly forgetting architecture, principles, and how stuff works in general, in favor of code delivery speed.

And without expertise you end up asking stupid things to a token producer machine, however godlike it can be.

It's hard not to extrapolate...

You can make it so those 2% are dealing with ugly -but functional- layouts

it that reduces development/maintenance cost by a lot, that's not a terrible deal.

There is already the very classical grift : you don't sell genai content, you sell "get rich quick with genai" methods. This is where the recursion starts.
