Imagine graduating in architecture or mechanical engineering around the time PCs just came out. There were people who probably panicked.

But the arc of time intersects quite nicely with your skills if you steer it over time.

Predicting it or worrying about it does nothing.

Side note: Why do I keep seeing disses to mechanical engineering here? How is that possibly a less valuable degree than web dev or a standard CRUD backend job?

Especially with AI provably getting extremely smart now, surely engineering disciplines would be having a boon as people want these things in their homes for cheaper for various applications.

Was he dissing mechanical engineering? I thought he was saying that they might have been panicked but were ultimately fine.
