I've been considering switching to a different career path, I just have to figure out which one. I increasingly feel that there is no place for the likes of me in the software industry anymore.
Old-school. The industry culture has moved over the years to one that doesn't sit well with me from an ethical point of view. I realized a little while ago that somewhere along the line, I became embarrassed by it and don't really like to be "outed" to people that I'm a software dev.
All of which would be manageable except that the majority of the time that I express my specific concerns on HN, the responses clearly demonstrate how much the industry (at least as represented here) and I have diverged from each other.
AI is software, and until it becomes AGI by improving itself there is going to be a need for software developers. This isn't the case for most other industries that will be impacted in a more substantial way by either transforming them or rendering them obsolete.
