I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don’t lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

Yes. We’re just getting there. Three years ago, there wasn’t much hiring of junior developers, and it takes about three years for a junior to grow into a senior.
It also takes 3-5 years for stupid code choices to hurt in ways that affect a businesses bottom line.
These two factors should boil over each-other nicely in the near future.
We might have vastly different definitions what is a senior then, or you’re peaking at the Donner-Kebab curve.
I’m referring to the usual definition for the job title, “Senior Developer”. It’s also a pretty good bare minimum skill definition needed to not constantly make costly mistakes.
I didn’t set the industry wide definition, I am using it.
If you’re angry with the lack of titles that reflect real seniority, join a union, or start one!
Why are you pushing emotions at me? Don’t do it.
Even google’s Ai summary slop says that industry standard is 5-10 years, not 3.
