Raw LLM Responses

Part of what drives this is that engineers typically make a pretty high salary, but what the top brass always forget is why they do. Not only is it because they’re pretty integral to the business in a lot of cases, but because they’re technically always on call if there’s a major outage (and the high stress it entails depending on the business you’re in). Every minute of outage is money lost, so yeah they’re gonna have to pay for that. Unfortunately, companies trying to remove engineers from the equation isn’t a new thing and has been a thing ever since I’ve been an engineer about two decades ago. AI is just the new thing to try and get rid of us, and it’ll blow up in their face and a course correct will occur. At that point, engineers will be valued again (until the next thing comes along where we’ll get devalued again).
