The AI wave is creating a huge amount of tech debt
There’s going to be a huge surge of hiring humans to untangle and fix the spaghetti code in coming years.

No there won’t. Not for a generation at least. The AI momentum will take decades to unravel before anyone even thinks about going back and fixing all the broken code.

The world isn’t monolithic. Some companies will take decades. Some companies have already realized the harm and have started fixing now

I wouldn’t hang a lifetime career on it. Unless you have a guaranteed job out of the gate, it’s a fool’s gamble.

Dude, there’s a limit to how much issues you can put a blind sight and pretend are not there or that the next LLM will fix them. At some point companies will start getting hacked and they’ll have to take action, and that will not take decades.

I think you underestimate how long these people can stay irrational. And just how entirely by the balls they have the system trapped. They already think of themselves as gods. They’re a level of delusional that would have them in a straight jacket if they didn’t have so much goddamn money. They don’t see the people that work for them as even animals, they’re barely tools. The scale and the scope of solidarity that it would take to pop their fantasy bubble has never been achieved in human history. They have engineered a world that makes raising that kind of trust and unity a generational struggle as difficult as bringing down Soviet Russia was last century. I hope to live to see the day their empire crumbles, but I’m not holding my breath.
It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better and the losses they’ll take from security breaches will be insignificant compared to the profit they extract from their monopolies.
