Contempt for users is not silly when the CEO of said company has repeatedly claimed they will replace SWEs "end-to-end" by next year.

I'm not sure what to say. You're either listening to the actions of these companies, or you're not in a place where you feel the need to be concerned be their actions.

I'm in a place where I'm concerned by their actions, and the impact that their claims and behavior have on the working environment around me.

Did he say they will replace SWEs, or maybe something more nuanced, that code will be written by AI tools?

Honest question from my end, I try to not read every AI related news that keeps telling me “it’s over, good luck feeding your family in 9-12 months”.

At no point in the last 10,000 years of human civilization has there not been a developing technology that threatened to forever reshape and displace a class of labor.

Or are you also upset about the modern plight of the telephone operator, farrier, or coal miner?
