Probably too B&W. But I’ve had a lot of discussion about this recently and the general consensus is that there’s something to it—especially developers who just got into the field solely because it’s where they thought the money was.

And what's wrong with that?

I'm not making a judgment, just describing a dynamic a lot of people claim to be seeing. One can reasonably assume that the most junior tier (for whatever combination of education, genuine interest, etc.) could potentially feel the impact most to the degree that LLMs really do have a disparate impact on junior people. It's a continuum of course. There are plenty of competent people who enter many fields because it's a job.

I'm also at least somewhat cautious about making "passion" (or whatever) a prerequisite for working in general.
