> A 50 year old non-management programmer? Look forward to having 23 year olds asking if you know what an array is for the rest of your work life.

Fuck. That made anxious. I am close to that age.

Also, my middle manager friends are having much harder time finding a job than programmer types. Don't know if its just them or if its a trend.

Don’t be anxious.

The best programmers I’ve ever worked with and deeply respect are the ones in their late 50s, early 60s. They’re unflappable when it comes to outages. They’ve seen it all. They work more sustainably and methodically to get stuff done.

No need to. If your experience is solid, there's plenty of work for consultants. Not those types, who walk in and get told to create a CRUD app, but those who can advise on tech, its implications on the business, the risks, etc.

[moneywoes]

Any resources for finding these opportunities?

A.I is gonna change the job market so deeply I wouldn't worry much. It's futile to worry, we simply don't know what's coming we only know it will change everything.

"And, because the bosses don't want to raise wages?

This is why AI hype is big right now. There's a lot of companies hoping to hawk a snake-oil 'solution' to lower productivity that doesn't require raising wages.

Given that most government accounting is single entry and most macro (-economic-solution) does not really recognise the role of money in the economy, this is in itself quite revolutionary stuff

It's pretty sickening to see how much money is allocated in developed Capitalist economies to (disturbing-kick people-) scams like AI.
