"I plan to become a billionaire by age 30. Then I will have the time and resources to tackle problems close to my heart like climate change, species extinction and economic inequality. "
"I will spend the first part of my life excelling in the very practices that cause the problems that I will solve in the second part of my life."
yeah, that's what my line of thinking was reading this part. Though with a lot more stuff I cannot add here at risk of being banned :D

"Mediocre" by what standard I ask. Wealth? Maybe. Happiness/Life Satisfaction? Not all roses, but hardly.

>“One moment, you’re financing your Coachella outfit; the next moment it’s groceries.” And indeed, this is happening more and more frequently—a quarter of “buy now, pay later” customers say they use an installment-payment service to shop for food.
This is the kicker for me personally. I don't know if it's cost of living increases driving people to start using these services for daily essentials, or if it just becomes a habit through putting all spending through services like this. Either way it's scary.

I see LLMs as a force multiplier. It's not going to write entire projects for me, but it'll assist with "how do i do x with y" kind of problems. At the end of the day I still understand the codebase and know where its faults lie.

I always find personal stories and quotes a weird way to tell these kinds of stories. Someone is always frustrated trying to find a job, right? Every field has ups and downs over time, and I know people whose fields were having a down turn in 2021 when tech was hotter than ever.
AI engineers aren’t in a slump I assume, nurses are classically understaffed right?
I think that's part of it, however it does seem the barrier to entry for anything now is a lot higher. People can argue what's causing that as they may, I cannot say for sure what causes it. Could be economic, could be cultural/procedural within corporates.
