It's ironic that the trackpants set that got into leetcoding over medicine because the lifestyle was better are now getting fucked by the fact that if you're doing useless shit in programming, you truly will get fired and fucked.
At least if you grind in medicine, you are helping people. That said, the lifestyle options like radiology that those same trackpants kids get into will have their comeuppance too, just in longer time scales.
