> Are engineers a bunch of spoiled, overpaid geeks who were long overdue for a reckoning?

will no one rid me of these meddlesome engineers?

ever since tech took off in business the C-suite has resented developers: we are overpaid relative to the other peons, we talk back and, above all else, we are physically ugly

first it was outsourcing, now it's AI

and yet, despite it all, the codemonkey abides

People are always convinced that new and better software will reduce our need for software engineers, but the contradiction is plain to see. While AI could potentially be different, I am extremely doubtful that integrating AI into everything will mean we need less devs.
