AI Replacing Coding Jobs

If coding actually does get replaced by AI it's gonna be super ugly The last 30-40 years appear to have been a gradually intensifying "revenge of the nerds" fever dream, and non-techies really did not enjoy watching these people make 250k/yr remotely without degrees I predict low levels of sympathy in the case of mass coder layoffs i think its a little sad to watch all these people who took pride in the art of programming slowly die away as they realize bit by bit that its actually over That's happening to every white collar job at the moment. The last two years have just accelerated the decline of tech-centric jobs by two decades. Couple that with hyperinflation, political instability etc and you're sitting on a political & economic bomb.

A screenshot of an X conversation discusses artificial intelligence replacing programmers and the decline of highly paid remote tech jobs. One commenter predicts that laid-off coders will receive little sympathy, while another argues that it is sad to watch programming culture disappear and warns that economic and political instability are accelerating the collapse of white-collar work. It is shared as a cynical reaction to AI job displacement and broader fears about technological unemployment.
