Ask HN: 你会接受一份编写 VMS 程序的职位吗?

4作者: smackeyacky3 个月前
我是一位经验丰富的程序员,职业生涯中一直紧跟技术发展。差不多 36 年来,我一直保持着这种状态。现在,随着人工智能(AI)开始接手我目前的大部分工作,我意识到,在与年轻程序员竞争日益萎缩的工作机会时,我可能会遇到一个明确的终点。<p>然而,似乎还有一些细分领域,我可以在那里保持生产力,直到我准备退休。而且,可能还有机会加入一个团队,参与他们试图摆脱的系统的工作。我快速评估了一下,认为在 AI 难以涉足的“后方”领域,我还能胜任 3 到 4 年的工作。<p>在这种情况下,你会怎么做?坦白说,我已经不再关心是否站在技术前沿了,但我很乐意利用我多年的经验来保持生产力。

I’m an older programmer but I spent my career staying up to date. I’ve managed that for 36 years give or take. Now with AI doing a lot of my current job I can see that there’s a definite end point where the combo of competing with younger programmers for a shrinking pool of work is going to get tough.<p>However there seem to be a few niches where I could be productive until I’m ready to retire and there might be an opportunity to join a team working on a system they’re trying to get off of. My quick evaluation is that there’s 3 or 4 solid years doing that in a backwater where AI is going to struggle.<p>In this situation would you do it? I frankly don’t care about being on top of tech any more but I’m keen to use my years of experience being productive.
