LinkedIn Tech Prophet Explains Why Your Coding Career Is Already Dead

LinkedIn Tech Prophet Explains Why Your Coding Career Is Already Dead
The ultimate LinkedIn tech bro wisdom has arrived! Nothing says "I'm disrupting the industry" like telling seasoned developers their decade of debugging nightmares is now obsolete because some AI can spit out half-baked code after being fed StackOverflow answers. The Kübler-Ross grief model for programmers is spot on though—we've moved from "AI will never replace us" to "WHY IS THIS CHATBOT WRITING BETTER REGEX THAN ME?!" in record time. My favorite part is the condescending "adapt or die" mentality from someone who probably thinks "fighting PHP demons" means they once had to center a div. Meanwhile, actual developers know AI is just another tool that generates bugs with unprecedented efficiency.

Choose Your Fighter (And Your Future Hairline)

Choose Your Fighter (And Your Future Hairline)
The evolution of a programmer's hairline perfectly correlates with their tech stack choices. Start in UI/UX with a full head of hair and optimistic dreams. By the time you're doing Frontend, you've seen enough CSS bugs to lose a bit. Full Stack JS and Mobile devs? That's when the real receding begins. C#/Java programmers have accepted their fate along with their verbose syntax. DBAs are too busy optimizing queries to notice their optimization problems up top. But DevOps/SysAdmin? Those 3AM production failures have claimed most of the hair. And if you've reached Embedded programming, congratulations! You've traded your hairline for the ability to make a microcontroller blink with only 12 bytes of memory.

Entry Level Requirements

Entry Level Requirements
The tech industry's time paradox in pixel-perfect form! Entry-level jobs that somehow require you to have been coding since the Nixon administration. Grandpa's been slinging COBOL since 1959 and even HE can't land a job. Meanwhile, recruiters want junior devs with 10 years of experience in a 3-year-old framework. The only true entry-level position is apparently "time traveler with programming skills." Maybe we should all just learn COBOL and wait for the legacy systems to have their revenge!
