I'm in this statistic already and found your last bit comforting knowing that it at least will end.
For real though a lot of us are also fed up and starting our own boutique i.t things these days.
Yeah, its the only thing I'm actually good at and I write code for the sake of the game, it just happens to be that I get paid for it
When the jobs go, I'll be still writing code for the game of it.
If I'm being paid to, great. No idea what I'll be doing if there's no demand in the post-collapse.
Either AI gets great and I'm unneccisary, or its just outsourcing slop again like 2012... Either way I'll be writing better code without the AI slop..
