问HN：我应该离开软件行业吗？
大家好，
我有10年的专业经验，从11岁开始编程。最初专注于全栈网页应用程序，后来又扩展到硬件编程和编写构建工具等细分领域。
看到人工智能的发展和就业市场的现状，我感到有些沮丧。
人工智能编程工具的效果相当不错（在现有项目中提高了大约10%的生产力），如果人工智能的进步是指数级的，那么在5到10年内，它取代大多数编程问题并不是不合理的预期。
我可能只是被人工智能的营销噱头所吸引，但作为一个热爱编程这门手艺的人，我感到那些让我兴奋的编程方面和知识将会被解决。
这就像你开始在视频游戏中作弊时，游戏的魔力也随之消失。
再加上薪资的减少和雇主对工作的压力和要求的增加，我开始考虑回到大学，或者学习焊接等职业，或者成为电工学徒。
你们对软件工程作为职业的看法是什么？
附言：我是澳大利亚人，虽然薪酬不错，但我从未获得过在FANG公司听说的那种“提前退休”的丰厚薪资，因此在可预见的未来我仍然需要继续工作。

Hi all,<p>I have 10 years professional experience and have been coding since age 11. Starting on full stack web applications and branching into niche areas like hardware programming and writing build tools.<p>Looking at the state of AI and the state of the job market - I feel disheartened.<p>AI coding tools are pretty good (say 10% uplift in productivity in brownfield) and, if AI improvement is exponential, it's not unreasonable to expect it to replace a majority of the problems in a 5 - 10 year window.<p>I might just be falling for AI marketing hype but, as someone who enjoys the craft for the craft, I feel like the aspects/knowledge of programming that excite me have/will be solved.<p>It has the same taste as when you start cheating on a video game and it loses its magic.<p>That combined with the reduction in salary and the increase is stress/demands from employers has me starting to consider going back to university or taking up a trade like welding or apprentice as an electrician.<p>How do you feel about software engineering as a career?<p>P.S. I'm Australian so, while well compensated, I never got the insane "retire early" compensation packages you hear about in FANG so I'll need to continue working for the foreseeable future.
