    I feel like exit from IT is the wrong move tbh. Senior workers will reap the rewards it’s the newbies who are getting into IT now are potentially in trouble.

    There will be new job possibilities and niches and AI will just empower people. Suddenly one person can launch and grow a startup which tbh not really possible today even if you’re a straight up genius. Problems will be solved faster and competition will drastically raise the quality of all software.

      Maybe, but I’m already getting on in years and my expertise is mediocre at best. I’m by no means intelligent enough to figure out LLM’s myself so I need to be able to sidestep that gaping hole in my experience/future. I mean, I’m 40 years old and still doing support (for 15+ years now). If I could’ve escaped the helpdesk I probably would have by now. Besides, my heart’s not in it anymore. I used to be very excited about new technologies and developments and now I just feel like a boomer who can’t keep up with the younger generations anymore.

      Nah, it’s time for this old dog to find another stomping grounds. I can feel my time nearing its end (career-wise).
