This was such a relatable and insightful post. The "sounds made up" genuinely made me smile, funny how those little shared phrases carry so much history. But on the more serious side, I completely see your point about inflated job titles and public spending. It's frustrating when essential sectors like education stretch their budgets for roles that feel more buzzword-driven than practical. And the irony of AI being both a tool and a topic we're struggling to regulate is not lost on me
Yes to all of what you said. Thanks for the great comment. It's totally driven by buzzwords and over the past 20+ years I have seen so many of them come and go. The saddest part is, eventually the grant money that pays the salary will go away and then the person who left a stable job for this job will be out in the cold.
Exactly, that's the part that stings the most. These roles often come with flashy titles and tempting salaries, but little long term security. It's a cycle we've seen far too long: new buzzword, influx of funding, temporary positions and then silence when the hype fades. It's unfortunate for the individuals who take that leap in good faith, only to be left behind ones the funding dries up. Hopefully, more sustainable approaches catch on eventually -ones that priorities people and purpose over trends
