Circa 2011, jumped into CS because I fell for the game designer meme. Once I graduated college 2015, I opted for a regular dev position instead because it was the only offer I got in the sea of H1B's competing against me. Fast forward to today, unemployed and the whole tech industry is getting slapped around by AI.

Why couldn't I see into the future?!?!??! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

How bad is it? How many people are being replaced by “AI”?
Why are we getting 120k more H1Bs?

wouldn't that be like working in customer service in the IT department? You don't need a degree for that, just some compTIA certs

I switched from SWE to a customer facing consulting role as SA, so I can't be replaced by AI.

Sadly most CS majors are autistic incels that you can't put in front of clients so they will never make it.
