It happens in waves. For a period, there was an oversupply of cs engineers, and now, the supply will shrink. On top of this, the BS put out by AI code will require experienced engineers to fix.

So, for experienced engineers, I see a great future fixing the shit show that is AI-code.

So many little scripts are spawned and they are all shit for production. I stopped reviewing them, pray to the omnissiah now and spray incense into our server room to placate the machine gods.

Because that shit makes you insane as well.

Each time that I arrive at a new job, I take some time to poke around at the various software projects. If the state of the union is awful, I always think: "Great: No where to go but up." If the state of the union is excellent, I think: "Uh oh. I will probably drag down the average here and make it a little bit worse, because I am an average software dev."
