This shit is literally ruining the industry for developers/engineers.

At least most of the ones I know and work with.

    it's ruining the industry right now. when the bubble bursts and the datacenters crater it will be a new golden era for farming!

    I know plenty of devs who just want to farm, or hunt, or build shit.

    I can't wait for the farming industry to be disrupted when 100,000 seasoned engineers descend upon companies like john deere. they'll be like a plague of locusts that will blot out the sun forever.

    I've been of the opinion that Silicon Valley and tech in the US has effectively drawn in the very best of several countries and collectively robbed so many industries of some of the smartest people around.

    These people retraining or going back home and into other industries could be an economic boom in the making.
