For me, programming began as a hobby. Then I was fortunate enough to be able to turn that into a job. Now, that job is vanishing rapidly, so it needs to become just a hobby again.
Industry has convinced itself that the age of the human developer is over. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But there are becoming fewer and fewer workplaces that want to employ programmers. They want #AI herders instead.
So programming becomes just a hobby again. A sanctuary away from assisted-coding madness.
