Anyone else in tech worried about the future of the field? I barely got in and I'm being bombarded all day by news about how it's fucking over and that this career will be automated soon. I have two jobs at the moment and they're both vibecoding B2B SaaS for suckers who can't be bothered to build their own stuff at the price of 1 junior dev and 1 Claude Pro subscription. Most of the stuff I do now is trying to break whatever slop "I" have produced in prod and then fixing it with more prompts.
After 6 years of uni, I really can't afford to go for another degree from scratch. I'm thinking about getting into embedded systems so I can have a more specialized job, but I've heard a lot of propaganda that "white collar jobs are over and you should get into manual labor". What do you guys think?
