Yeah good luck being employed in 3 years once this bubble popped when all you do is type some natural language into a phone screen. People being proud of not using an IDE anymore is such a foreign concept to me, who enjoys coding and got into the profession because of the love of that.
The “debugging” for these type of issues is looking at some logs and http responses and being like “ah if we get this error it means they restarted their firewall again and took us off the whitelist. Email that guy Joe at the bank and hope he responds”. It’s not rocket science or the majority of my job… but someone’s needs to do it. We automate all the stuff we can.
If you got into the industry due to enjoying the typing of code the future is looking pretty bleak.
I dunno.
I've been watching "How it's made" on Hulu to fall asleep at night.
I’m constantly surprised by how many things are made with human hands, despite the ability to automate.

An enormous amount of on-call debugging is just natural language reading of logs.
