@vie@hachyderm.io tech workers are probably the sector of the economy with the most temporarily embarrassed millionaires, of course most of them would hold the tech in high regard, if not for coping with the usual phrase "AI won't replace you, a programmer using AI will". As a "builder" "indie hacker" with "entrepreneurial" mindset it must be hard to deal with the cognitive dissonance of both believing this tool you use is so good it will replace large swaths of the workforce but also coming to terms that the most work you do is prompting and that you too, may be as "expendable" as the other people. Also, this is biased as I avoid reading xitter, but I've seen most boosters are wealthy programmers, i.e. they worked in the sector when software engineers were the darlings of the working class, and made their riches when they were seen as indispensable. Of course 10 years later they're not worried about juniors or the future of the profession, they have their life solved.
