No you misunderstand me. I support such a view but cannot hold it because my pace at work is so much fast. And hand coding like this will make personal projects s slow and choreful with no visible progress. Like where is the joy in that?

But this way you move way slowly even on personal projects, like you will not even get the basic UI for the app done in a few days? Is that OK for you?

When it comes to cost per implemeting SPEC, agents are far cheaper than human salary. So, it's not going to go well.

That said thankfully there's no way of measuring a good SPEC yet. If there is that will collapse the SWEs profession.

very cool

SQL isn't an allergy. It's time test. Take medicine to fix your allergy.

Education is not knowledge either. Today market most directly pays for skilled work that increases revenue/profit. Correlation drops after that. It's a struggle I've been trying to reason for myself too.

You are making a wrong assumption that more knowlege leads to more comp, it never has or will.

Has there been anytime, when senior experts in a field, are consistently maintaining this time it's different? You can ignore this at your own peril.

The root cause if of course AI's role in loss of power on compensation (coding as a skill is no longer as valuable), and loss of power in labor vs capital.

It's hard to face this, specially for the one oasis in the job market that pays well.

The industry should give more security in exchange for reduced pay. We need a social movement for this.

This could have a shot if we also recommend to companies that, they should convert overall pay to ~2/3 for employees, and with the 1/3 extra hire more people. so every company that opts in has no higher people budget, but generates more employment.

This only requires that everyone take a pay cut to help their peer citizens. I would sign up for this. But would the majority - would you? yes/no - and why?

Someone is not let go with the announcement "you are replaced with AI". I know many teams that have downsized, or are not hiring after someone left. There is a reason why leverage of employees has drastically gone down. I myself am struggling in this aspect.

Wtf.. nauseating to see promise of ai proof roles. No way to guarantee that and irresponsible. Spam shit.

One idea we have discussed in my network is if as an industry reset we all said CS should become a 2X to 6X minimum wage career. So say 30k beginner to 100K senior/lead. This would keep many more jobs available and open. But I guess it would not be acceptable to many?
