When will we understand that not everybody works in a FAANG?
Assuming that the way to put some food in the table for all software developers is always a matter of creating a new magical algor. in a mystical programming language deployed in an unicorn architecture is so childish.
99% of all software development today is simply creating a crud or refactoring a codebase because React guys decided to change everything again.
There is a reason why we need to safeguard the culture (old, recent & actual) for the future generations. This is a intergenerational responsibility that we need to tackle asap.
I have learned so much about SQL databases and playwright tests and python and all sorts of things that were completely opaque to me (but are quite useful for my day job) before I started using AI tools.
And a lot of these skills I've picked up would be usable even if I didn't have AI for handholding anymore. It definitely feels like I have the dedicated attention of a junior developer helping me learn moreso than someone taking over my work and leaving me out in the metaphorical cold in terms of intellectual growth.
