I make decent money as a freelancing MDM admin, not six digits but more than enough to cover costs of living and go on short and long vacations fairly often.
Did desktop support for about a decade, then my department bought a Jamf license and offered me the chance to be their first Mac admin. (I was also the SCCM admin on the Windows side) Quit that job in 2021 after 8 years and a couple promotions, moved to another country, started putting myself out there for people to find me online, and slowly but surely I've been finding work. Last year during a past job I got the chance to fuck around with Intune and picked up some good experience there.
I'm not sure AI will make programmers redundant in any way - it literally bridges the gap between having an idea of how to do something, and being able to describe it to the computer.
A good simple example is generating a bash command for finding and renaming files.
It might reduce the sheer volume of coders needed, but it still is just a very smart search engine + docs + stackoverflow combined together.
I understand what you’re saying, but don’t you see that it is just going to get better and better? It’s already capable of writing complete simple programs.
Just like Stable Diffusion that can make pretty pictures, as long as you don't care about the exact specifics of what you want, ChatGPT can write code, as in it can pull canned solutions from its training set, and adapt them to your prompt, it still can't do anything you couldn't do if you googled the problem/read the docs.
It's possible that a future iteration of it will be capable of far more, but that's just pure speculation.
>as long as you don't care about the exact specifics of what you want, ChatGPT can write code
So it's like a junior developer. Except with better code, probably.
I'm just repeating shit I read without any actual subject matter expertise, but I read that OpenAI already fed all the high-to-medium quality content it could get to GPT3. Adding more parameters might or might not make it better, it would substantially increase the running costs, and it would be in the danger of overfitting so it's possible GPT4 won't be as much of a jump as GPT3 was.
I'm not sure if it's going to be able to write a coherent story for example, as current AIs really suck at that.
I became a tech lead in just over two years and honestly most people SHOULD be replaced by AI. There are people with degrees working as a webdev for 5+ years who don't even know basic shit like what a URL parameter is.
Literally just don't be retarded and you'll be fine. The bar is so low it's insane (for webkeks at least).

How’d you get into that?

No change from before, just going to need even more programmers to try to unfuck things made by PM with half ass enterprise AI tools.
i'm in sales, ai will help me
sales will become even more chad-heavy since AI will tell them what to say to which clients/customers
they'll soon enforce height, hair, and shoulder:waist ratios
thank god i'm handsome as fuck
Become a code prompter, if you aren’t incorporating it into your workflow you’re going to get left behind.
feeling pretty good as an EE right now, especially being in europe (but with an american passport

So is it still worth continuing my learning with the goal of changing from labor to tech?

It's getting logarithmic gains. And has been from day 1. That is straight from OpenAI's own numbers. The tech is limited, but a very handy tool.

Any job. AI won't change a thing, it's like a programmer specialised in assembly asking whether a compiler will take his job.
