Unfortunately, "want to" doesn't pay the bills. Before recorded music, there was a lot more demand for a jazz saxophone player, and that musician made a decent middle class living off of that skill. Now we have Spotify and don't need to pay that musician. Suno.ai makes very passible music. Midjourney makes passible art. The microwave makes passible food. LLMs write passible books.
Programming as a job will go the way of the saxophone player as a job, but then what's left? Are we a jester economy? One where everyone competes to perform tricks for wealthy billionaires in order to get some money to eat?
