Anyone remember keypunch operators?

They were the wave of the future that was supposed to provide high dollar middle class employment for millions of people.

They were replaced by PCs and other data entry methods. They didn't last very long.

Now AI is coming for coders.

Learn to code, they said. You'll always have a job they said. Surprise! Now AI is going to make coders obsolete.

Funny how it isn't effecting the building and construction trades. You still have security in roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, pipefitting and similar trades. Even the trash guys have better job security than coders.

Funny how that works that the jobs that parents wanted to keep their kids from just seem to chug along and create pretty good paychecks.
