As a software engineer and engineering manager, I am mildly concerned for my employability in the future. However, I've had a good career, with much more luck than I deserve. People in my profession have been notably pampered and paid extremely well. As automation turns its Sauron-like eye to my own industry, it's hard to say with a straight face that we have been unfairly treated. I also think that there are, and will be for the foreseeable future, a lot of options for people who like to code.

I see a lot of strong anti-LLM takes on the Fediverse. I like some of them, and I don't like others. I sometimes respond if I think I can contribute to the conversation, but not always.
