What happens when we replace judges, lawyers, and the jury with AI,,.
However, robocops of some sort would not surprise me.
If the government wants to fill potential employments needs from immigration, force employers to use the legal immigration system and punish employers who hire the illegal aliens. That might help slow down the southern invasion.
I have a friend who is a developer, writer and tech support person. She went to Microsoft and wrote lots of documentation for them. She created the interface between the browser and Outlook mail and Microsoft literally stole it. The hire to write docs was a fair in-kind resolution for her. After a spat with a co-worker, she decided to move to Australia and became a citizen there. She writes documentation for US companies including analyzing software they don't understand and writing docs for their developers who haven't a clue without docs. That might me a niche you could leverage as well.
I've made good use of my development skills to be a better technical manager. It is helpful when writing clear tasks in JIRA with concisely spelled out requirements and conditions of satisfaction to call the task done.
I have to cobble up some CEUs for my Security+ certs before April 2023. CompTIA has a deal for $199 to do self-paced training. Estimated time to complete is 8 to 10 hours. It covers your CEUs for another 3 year increment. I'll be 69 at that point.
Tennessee has a program where your worker’s comp costs less if you drug test. Almost all employers here test.
Too many lazy a$$e$ getting paid to not work.
Here, we do not have a smaller pool of workers than before Covid; but we certainly now have a scarcity of those same people wanting to work. It is devastating local small businesses.
Regardless of how much they keep raising starting wages, now nearly double minimum for no experience, the jobs the used to have are going begging, while they sit on their butts collecting government largess.
I'm 66. Still putting in 40 to 60 hours each week. I can work in multiple operating systems, code in nearly 50 languages and build in a range from embedded to cloud. My managers throw the difficult stuff at me to work out the difficult details. Once the development has moved to fleshing out functionality, I pass it along to the junior programmers.
I'm toying with retirement at the end of this year, but my current tasking is going to jump right in doing AI/ML. I'm building sensor links with complex data comm protocols right now and stuffing data into a PostGIS/PostgreSQL database ahead of making a data lake solution. I built all the geospatial queries last week, then a complex filter with configurable sampling window, N number of variables with a threshold level and max calculation across each data sampling window. Too much fun to retire as long as the customer keeps the work coming. Kubernetes pods coordinated with Helm charts to spin-up an environment.
I have lower cost juniors paired with me so that I can spin them up on new tech. Sometimes it takes a bit of patience when they IM like kids on social media. As long as they are producing good, error free code, I can overlook some of that. I encourage them to be more formal in their writing as that raises prospects for invitation to write for proposals or do technical documentation.
Regarding death marches...that has been my specialty since 1980. Turning around a death march into a successful delivery. It's why I'm still doing that at 66.
Well, that is great — more power to you. But the poster who I replied to sounds like he is having trouble because of age discrimination.
There are certainly exceptions to every rule. However, I have personally dealt with older folks who DO have some of the issues I listed.
BTW — I am no spring chicken myself.
She has got Bat Shit Crazy eyes.
Crazy eyes!
Disclaimer: My daughter is a high school history teacher and strongly disagrees with me. She pointed out just last week that a NASA rocket scientist was quoted as saying teaching is much harder than rocket science.
If you add in disability, and everyone else on a government check that pays them to stay home, no wonder. Many times I and other managers hear, well if I work more, they will cut my…. Insert freebie here.
Good points. I would add that in my experience immigrants, Mexicans else, generally have rudimentary if not advanced skills in construction or tool-making. If they don’t they have the motivation to get the skills. That’s a very big difference from the ghetto dwellers.
You need to put yourself on the market and get out of that craphole.
They clearly have no idea of your talent and no idea how hard it will be to replace you in this job market which is still very hot and with the available pool of people willing to work shrinking quickly, they’re about to find out.
Yeah.
Just stopped at one. Road sign said open till 8 on labor day..
Sign on the door said “sorry. No help showed up. Closed”
See the below clip. This version of “The Time Machine” is 20 years old now, but I thought it did a good job of showing the teaching potential of a Bot that had very sophisticated natural language understanding capabilities.

Productivity is dropping too.
They call it quiet quiting. Or “not my job” when asked to take on extra work.
Last guy I fired tried it. I paid him by the hour and he always wanted to go home early “because everything is done” I said so start on tomorrow’s list.
That didn’t work so I made the list longer than was time in the day. He bitched about that to. That. I was trying to over work him by having him work a full shift.
So a hired another guy and fired him before his 16 weeks to get unemployment had passed
You end up with verdicts like the 2020 election.
Picked by the programers.
If I heard Steve Hilton right last night “40% of the age eligible workforce are not working”.
