    Skilled developers can easily transition to another field of software engineering.

      Even in 2024, there’s still a lot of non-software (automotive) engineering involved in building a car – even an electric one.

            Stop I’m unironically excited for this distant possibility.

            I’m already impressed by how much the UI for cars have been separatedfromm mechanical systems.

            Electric cars have a lot more tunability from a software view too. Clearly there is a plenty of real world between the chips and where the rubber meets the road too.

      Yeah but a car is mostly made of engines and bolts and wheels and stuff like that, you know.

      No one can become a skilled ML/AI dev overnight. That will still take a year or two or more of working with it daily. If you transition to a new field you basically become a junior dev all over again for a while. Domain knowledge is a big part of being a good programmer.
