I'm almost an old-timer now, and will be by then. I remember when I first started as a SE and we had some old COBOL guys come out of retirement for Y2K patching. They were laughing all the way to the bank to fix problems they'd made 20 years earlier. If and when we do get to 'prompt programming' there will be lucrative work for people that can untangle what goes wrong under the hood, because the prompt writers sure the fuck won't know.
