I was a mf'ing hard core rider of the tech boom, was a sought-after consultant, and I and my colleagues rode the razor's edge of what was possible in online gaming for 2 decades... and I can tell you now, AI presents to creative individuals who have a clue, the greatest opportunity ever handed to them. Look at how AI destroys things and "invent" solutions and you'll pay yourself well.
Now more than ever a "programmer" is a guy that can plug other people's modules together and pray it works. Notice that now and git gud at what you do.
You spend all your work day in meetings bragging about yourself while never actually doing any work, aren't you?
I've been retired for a decade, moron
