@jason @airshipper@cloudisland.nz I came to the same conclusion. I know so many who went into software as a path to management as well, and they were terrible programmers and only needed to hang on for a couple of years before switching internal roles. If AI coding had been a thing 20 years ago they would have been all over it from day one.

@andymoose@fedi.aiga.rocks it’s more than a theory for me. Ive seen many since the late 1990s and they’ve often been quiet open about the reason being paid very well *and* (seemingly) not having to word „hard“ for that. When the dot com bubble blew it slowed down a bit instead of dropping to 0 and the the next hype cycles came. Many w/ technical jobs were eager to go into non-technical positions, incl „consulting“ or mgmt. Not all Managers are like that, but the % increased. @jason @airshipper@cloudisland.nz
