Jobs have already been disappearing. Entry level programming jobs have been wiped out.
Good luck finding senior programmers in a decade eh
They're getting their money now. The future doesnt matter to them.
Yeah, they love to sell tomorrow for today
Senior positions are being let go too. My previous employer dropped almost all the senior people and replaced them with juniors with copilot accounts.
I look forward to reading the company autopsy in a year.
