    We do this every 15 years. For anyone less than 15 years into their career, welcome to the party.

    Let’s see if I can save you some energy:

    • Yes, it made my job massively easier.
    • No, it didn’t replace me.
    • Yes, it allowed a bunch of new people to also do the job I do. Welcome newbies!
    • No, my salary didn’t go down, relative to inflation.

    It turns out that the last mile to a successful product delivery is still really fucking hard, and this magic bullet tool also didn’t solve that.

    Now… Am I talking about…?

    • AI?
    • Web frameworks?
    • English like programming language syntax?
    • A compiler with built-in type checking?
    • All of the above.

    Edit: Formatting for readability.

      I’m calling bullshit on that one.

      Everybody’s salary except executives has gone down relative to inflation going all the way back the the 80s.
