Agreed. The entire industry engineer/developer industry is fucked.

The answer is no. They didn’t have enough money. Now we all pay for their stupidity.

Not mine. My car was built in 1999. Going to drive it until they stopped offering fuel at gas stations and then just transplant a electric drivetrain.

My car has a cassette tape and no Bluetooth.

I had the same issue. I didn’t want to depend on meds my entire life. But honestly. After taking it regularly, I’m a better husband and a even better father. I am truly not following my father’s footsteps.

I’m a dev at work with 1 dev Jr dev under me.

We are in desperate need of another jr dev. But my work rather spend tokens.

So I setup agentic workflows which works 90% of the time. The 10% requires a me, a senior developer to babysit the workflow. My hourly cost are significantly higher.

After calculating the token usage and my hourly rate there are still some savings using the agentic workflows. But not much.

But we end up sacrificing is a pool of junior developers that I can train to be a senior. If I ever leave the company the entire company is screwed.
