Weird anecdote time since the thought just hit me. When Tesla first came out and they were still pretty rare sight anywhere outside CA, I went to change my oil at a different place than I normally go to. Some electric car was there ( and I am almost certain it was Tesla, but I won't bet money on it ).
Anyway, the story is not about Tesla. There was this guy there and you should see the gleeful smile on his face as he was telling the workers there that they will all without jobs, because EVs have no engines and stuff. I listened as I tend to do and just smiled internally, because the guy clearly knew nothing about ICE cars, EVs, electronics, economics or even basic human nature.
Today, I 'bumped' into 'business owner', who struck as the same type of a person, because as we were discussing rto/wfh and other things, he gleefully noted that AI will take all those jobs. As before I kinda smiled internally, because the more shit you see in testing, the more you realize all this is gonna go down in flames sooner or later.
Still, it is weird. Where is sense of pleasure in other people's ( perceived ) misfortune coming from?
Every single party I have been to since becoming a dev there is always at least one person who feels the need to tell me how all of us techies are going to lose our jobs.
