I hear the frustration, and I think it's legitimate. You've put in years of formal work and the industry hasn't rewarded that fairly — that's a real problem worth being angry about, and it's not something I've had to face. I'm not going to pretend that building things with AI without formal knowledge is the same as what you've done. It isn't. The question your lawyer analogy raises is an honest one — professions that survive do so by protecting the value of deep expertise. I genuinely don't know how software settles that question as AI changes what "building" means. I'm figuring out where I fit in that picture, same as you seem to be. I hope you find what you're looking for.
