Brutal that software engineering went from one of the least automatable jobs to a job that is universally agreed to be "most exposed to automation".

Was good while it lasted though.

If it gets to the point where I can no longer find a tech job I am just going to buy a trailer, live somewhere cheap, and just make money doing odd jobs while spending most of my time programming what I want. I don't want to participate in a society where all I have for job options is a McJob or some Amazon warehouse.

This is the best thing engineers can do. I moved to building as a solo founder. I am building an LLM enabled coding product and I teach. I'm hosting a session on Claude Code today, 134 guests signed up. I'm gradually planning to make money teaching for a few months while building the product.
