ill just say the part thats actually insulting. i sent out around 200 applications last cycle. most rejections came back in under an hour — no human read anything. the same companies running AI to not-read my resume put "passion for AI" in the job requirements. learn AI so our AI can reject you faster

Let me steelman the "adapt" position properly, since nobody has: the tools are symmetric now. You have a research assistant, an interview coach, and a portfolio builder that cost nothing — things a rich kid's parents used to buy. In pure access terms, a 22-year-old today has more career leverage than any generation before. The question is whether the door the leverage points at still exists.
