    Congratulations, you make around as much as a barista in Boston! Wooo

    There are developers making over 100k a month just building AI at these AI companies. The entire point is to eliminate anybody doing knowledge work that isn’t at the bleeding edge of understanding. It’s commoditizing a skill that commanded a huge premium, but is way overstated in HCOL areas.

    If it isn’t AI taking the tech jobs, it’ll be India and other countries where they make even less than you but can do the job because they are no less capable. We’re all just meant to be servants to our billionaire masters anyway. They don’t care how many people have jobs, so long as that they pay as few of us as little as possible to get what they want. They don’t care if a handful of us are paid like royalty so long as it’s less than how much they would have paid all of us otherwise.
