It is 2037.
You are being paid $7250/hour for your services. (Before you get too excited, a can of cola costs $129, and so does 15 seconds of LLM tokens.)
There are not many left who can do what you do. You are the tradesperson of your time. It's messy work unclogging these metaphorical pipes, but someone's got to do it.
A decade of nothing-but-vibecoding (artisanal “acoustic" performances aside) has left the world in tatters. The Y2K38 problem looms.
The day’s task: fix the bug in here.

@sean@scoat.es But at a fixed rate mortgage, that still sounds like a pretty good deal 😂
