I used to know things. Then they made Google, and I just looked things up. But at least I could still do things. Now we have AI, and I just ask it to do things for me. Now I don't know anything and I can't do anything.
Programmers (and adjacent positions) of late strike me as remarkably shortsighted and myopic.
Cheering for remote work leading to loads of new positions being offered overseas opposed to domestically, and now loudly celebrating LLMs writing "boilerplate" for them.
How folks don't see the consequences of their actions is remarkable to me.
