It's 1994, I'm 10 years old. They say I'll have to choose a job some time in the future and I should choose carefully, because some jobs will be gone sooner than later. Prime example is coal miners who everyone agrees will are clearly on their way out of germany. It's 2002. I'm 18 years old and decided on doing this IT stuff. There was a bubble that just burst, but everyone is clear about this still being a job of the future… not like those coal miners that should have all moved into renaturation projects a while ago? It's 2014. I'm 30 years old. All that web stuff is dead and clearly mobile is the next big thing. I don't even know if there's still coal mines somewhere? It's 2024. I'm 40 years old. "Every thinking-job will be gone soon due to AI! Driving Taxi, Call-Centers or flying airplanes will be gone too! You might have luck if you're doing something manual with people?". I'm still doing exactly the same IT bullshit. But with ever increasing rates of bullshit and boilerplate. We get done less and less every year. …meanwhile there's public outcry about the recent (and expected/anual) extension of some large coal mines.
