Everyone with your exact job title in your industry vanishes, how long until awful things happen? (lemmy.world)

I'm a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won't get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.

But the world won't end.

Senior software engineer. Lots of bugs and mistakes from juniors and associates. Good luck lol.

Are we 100% certain we're not already in this timeline.

I believe that the many senior SWEs I have met were real - but the state of the Internet does not provide strong evidence that I'm not delusional on that point...

That's an interesting point. I think that maybe customer facing apps have an issue acquiring or retaining talent because the jobs often suck so badly. I've only done one customer facing software job and it was awful. Long hours, insane demands, and harsh management.

It's less bad in corporate environments surprisingly.
