Looking at the state of the software industry, I expect to be forcibly brought back from retirement in some 15-20 years from now, if I will even be allowed to retire.

@deshipu Scary thought, I hope to retire by the end of the decade. What will we be needed to do?

@neilgall keep the lights on, I'm afraid, and urgently train our replacements while we do it

@deshipu Is this because when we retire there will only be a useless generation of LLM-assisted script kiddies?

@neilgall I wouldn't go that far, but there are surely much fewer opportunities for young people to get familiar with technologies that run our infrastructure, and will probably continue to run it for decades still. Banks already have problems finding COBOL and Fortran specialists, and they were the early adopters.

@deshipu Ah, yes that's true. I was being overly cynical. Maybe we have a responsibility to pass on what we know before retiring?
