How long have you been working in this field? I ask as if you have numerous years you already know your worth and value irrespective of AI or any other system. If you are still questioning this it indicates to me that you are still in the process of finding yourself and are in the same boat many other folks are in - confronting the existencial crisis of identity as it pertains to work. I suggest do what is necessary to stay employed then on your own time write code by hand for personal or side projects. Be sure to not use AI and learn deployment, devops and infrastructure as much as is needed to be knowledgeable and able to speak to the technology. Then add that to your resume. Keep grinding.
I'm currently a programmer with 8 years of experience(I've been coding for longer than that, but I started earning money from programming around then.). Some might say that's still short, but honestly, I'm not sure. I became a programmer during the COVID-19 hiring boom, and somehow I've managed to survive. But I'm not really sure what I should be doing next.
What you should be doing next is to pivot your programming skills plus interest in identifying "categorical errors" to help me look for elephants in the room housing all the different "categorical imperatives" :) as a hobby even.
Because my not very adult hunch is that co-existence with one another and nature depends on paying attention to these animals
Our world relies on outsourcing the production of manufactured and consumer goods to developing
nations. But separate from that structural reality, vested interests refusing to acknowledge their faults is an entirely different issue.
[faults= giant problems with deeply held but actionable beliefs]
There seems to be already two different instances of CI in that quote...
To extend/detail on the second one, make it relevant to this website---
What if AI helps to make it easy for "everyone" to build things people want? That doesn't bode well for the climate. If I were one of the local gods I'd rationalise (ie sidestep CI) that by saying that hardware is so hard that maybe only 1% of the population in developed countries would be able attain this kind of (post-)industrial upper middle class [0]
[I tend to see categorical imperatives as a the general way to obtain constraints on action local in spacetime by extrapolating to extreme hypotheticals, more physicist than "edge cases". This is one understated belief that (I feel) silicon valley thought leaders tend to subconsciously share with economists, neuroscientists[1], psychologists, techbros, journalists, rationalists---- but not Wall Street---- the sanity of linear utility. 2]
[1] if this come across as a collective but ad hominem, I'm hoping it still looks like a reasonable one ;) anyways i probably damaged my credibility by submitting a neuroscience scam that time (not related to, but reminiscent of Parasma)
[2] I'd even say that you can't renormalise linear utility, just like one "would not be able to renormalise some Hamiltonians" so the reflexive rationalisation [0] fails, if you care to go there
