I'm sorry if that sounds young-ish; I'm not a veteran, though I've been trying to be a bit more hopeful towards the future, but what if in the near future, the slop gets more filtered, and there are more job openings for things that are fun, and different skills flourish in the AI era, and writing specs becomes the thing we get our kicks out of.

It's dreadful for me that we don't need to 'write' code anymore, still, I have faith there'll be fun things in the future.
