Okay. You can cite random examples of failed predictions all the way to 2026. I have a whole book of 'em at hand if you're interested. (The Experts Speak, by Chris Cerf. Knock yourself out.)

If you think software dev is safe because of past trends, I'll just see you here in a few years to talk about it again.

Good news. My son is a software developer in his first job. He's seriously considering a job change. He hoped to stay at his current employer for at least 5 years, but some things have made that unlikely at this point. The company he works for has been in the news a lot recently. He's not worried about being let go, but the atmosphere has become very stressful and will become more so in the next few weeks. For a young person that consistently gets calls and emails from recruiters, the next thing looks good.
