Life led me to consultancy to tech oriented companies, and I can say that like the father at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film), I make more money fixing the machine than I did doing the work the machine is now doing.

From what I saw, people might be able to produce code faster, but at least for now its design frays heavily at the edges (scaling, resiliency, security).

On back to school, I can personally report that I tried that and gave up because uni knowledge cramming felt much more boring compared to learning work-related stuff.
