The more and more i use claude 4.5 on this toy project i wonder if the entry funnel for a yung talented goat from iraq to the outer tech world is slowly constricting and will soon permanently close?

Like obviously higher level shit will always exist and there will always be interesting sparsely represented problem spaces that will require some mind to at least << steer >> models, but in that world, will i ever get the chance to shine?

Like I know my skill, i know my ability to slot into any team etc and to pick up anything i need quickly, but the end all of it is always gonna be YoE, obviously ive already experienced the annoyance of this requirement, but i think as time goes on getting yoe will be way harder

Like rn my blocker is mostly uni, i can’t really work these remote jobs w my schedule, and i don’t wanna take a local job to be worked to the bone 24/7 for $600 a month.
In the future, will there be another blocker, this time something i cant even really steer around? I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not?

There is a tertiary idea in my mind of a world that’s adapted and somehow this industry turns meritocratic, but I doubt it, the purse strings are held by MBAs who don’t really care about good software, just boosting imaginary numbers and raise more imaginary funds.

For those of you that know me more, yeah i do have some YoE and stuff to show off, but I can't help but feel maybe it's not enough yet?
One thing I do know is that I’m not a bitch, and I definitely won’t be left stranded in any of these futures.
