Having lived through all of that as a professional dev, AI is completely different. There was no career anxiety of any significance for OOP or Code Gen (certainly no code gen) or TDD or Agile - there was annoyance at it by some, sure, but not the existential angst the industry is currently experiencing.

I mean if GC was introduced in a time where there was an engagement AI spreading dread far and wide then I suspect we could have had the same thing. I certainly wish people would be less sad, but I'm not sure that means that things are meaningfully different on a technical level.
