Unfortunately, I am experiencing the opposite effect. I am an IT contractor tasked with writing scripts, and I keep trying to apply for a dev job with a 2 year degree with no success while I see old dinosaur fucks at my job not even knowing what functions are. They use ChatGPT to write scripts for them without any modifications to work with our specific clusterfuck of an environment that they created, and the scripts essentially don’t work and run in production, because we don’t even have a testing environment. Meanwhile I have to clean their mess and get paid much less than them, let alone not have any PTO or benefits. It’s absolutely maddening to be moderately skilled in programming and witnessing some of the dumbest people on the planet get CS jobs through nepotism or impressing HR, moreso the former. It seems like my workplace will only hire someone if and only if they are incredibly incompetent. Can’t wait to get the fuck out of the IT field and pursue electrical engineering someday. I’m not wasting 10-20 years of my life just to get a single promotion in a field dominated by cop-worshipping, white supremacist libertarians.
Uncritical support for these AI bros refusing to learn CS and thereby making the CS nerds that actually know stuff more employable.

But to recognize people who know something you too need to know something, but techbros are very often bazingabrained AI-worshippers.
Wait, is this not a joke?
