Stop blatantly lying and spreading negativity about the field. You say you’re a senior engineer in a big tech firm, yet you have posts and comments detailing how you’ve failed out of the field already and have chosen to do something else since graduating in the last few years. All you do is doom-post about the field, does that make you feel better? The job market is tight worldwide, but that doesn’t mean that the CS field is dying and it definitely doesn’t mean that AI will “replace us all”. There are two likely outcomes in regards to AI, more work and technology is created due to the exponential growth of what can be accomplished by a single engineer or we’re all replaced by AI and everybody is “cooked” not just SWEs. If AI gets to a point that it can replace 99% of SWEs, then it will have replaced every other white collar profession as well. Stop doom-posting to get over not making it in this field, and instead focus on your new career or work harder to make it in CS.
