Can‘t wait for that bubble to burst

    I mean yes and no. It will be great when it's not crammed down our throats but also not so great when the economy collapses under the realization that they've been investing hundreds of billions of dollars in an industry that will never ROI.

    it's bursting now. within the past few months to a year I've made more money switching my focus from freelance/consultion dev work to, essentially, a freelance digital janitor targeting AI. I get clients that desperately need to fix the slop they've produced and have me code review it to see how practical that is (9 times out of 10, it isn't.)

    The calls/emails I'm getting from potential new clients are becoming more frequent on a weekly basis. People are panicking. And I know when it finally does finish bursting that it's going to be hell out there. So since I'm now making more money than ever I'm saving AS MUCH as possible because I hope to come out of this shit on the other side and retire.

    To other devs potentially reading this, Get good at code reviewing and start leveraging that. it's a skill that IS in demand right now and will be for awhile. Just the tech bros on linkedin are unwilling to admit it.
