Going to write down a few predictions for ten years from now. Here’s one: contra https://www.jefftk.com/p/programmers-should-plan-for-lower-pay … and other people I respect, I think total compensation for software engineers on a real (inflation-adjusted) basis will be materially higher in 2030 than in 2020.
If the cut is down to the level some of my ME or Civ acquaintances get, $60k for new grads, $100k pretty good for experienced folks, then it could make sense to work a much higher paying career for 5-10 years and do programming in retirement if so inclined, depending on interests

Yep, agree on hedging. If someone were offering up 7:1 on that bet, I think a lot of programmers would take it even if they thought it was negative expected value. The hedging you can do (with puts or whatever) doesn't directly protect you, a bet would be much better.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
