Don’t really feel the same. This will be an interesting wave. But I didn’t just finish a master’s program, so it isn’t really a fair comparison. Don’t lose sight of that. - Do you really believe that the only purpose of a SWE is code? You didn’t need a masters for that, or even a bachelors, so I suspect that’s not the case. Would you trust the likely correct bullshit of a LLM? How about the likely correct bullshit of an LLM that a SME reviewed and iterated on? Start thinking about the aspects of your job that can’t be solved by ChatGPT. Some can’t be solved now. Some may not be able to be solved ever. Some could be, but really shouldn’t be, at least any time soon. Some will be focusing on how to reduce their time spent on writing code, without filling the extra space with something else. More lines. Less thinking. Dead end. Don’t give your job away to the tool, use the tool to make your job easier. If you still feel disillusioned, try picking up some skills that involve using your hands. Not necessarily as a hedge, but if you’re missing or dreading the loss of the raw act of creation in software development, you may want to seek that feeling elsewhere. If you can’t get the rush with code, maybe with corn. Or a coping saw. Or cheese making.
