Even before the AI craze, I saw the writing on the wall for enterprise software developers - what most of the 2.8 million developers in the US do.

By 2015, it had already become a commodity where there were plenty who were “good enough”. If you compare the median wages in most non west coast cities, they haven’t kept up with inflation. I started moving up to more architectural and then customer facing strategic consulting that and sales will be the last thing that AI will take over and before AI, that could be outsourced or commoditized.

But if you are just a mid level ticket taker - regardless of title - you are screwed.

Yes, my ultimate plan B is to move to Costa Rica or Panama City with the savings I already have. My wife and I are already planning to stay there during the American winters starting next year.
