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.

Junior PHP Dev. Not great, not terrible. I don't think awful things would happen, but it'd be hella inconvenient for the professionals and seniors.

I do SAP development writing ABAP and making forms.

SAP would go bankrupt because their core product is written in an internal language that's ridiculously complicated and takes decades to fully learn.

The businesses would keep using their systems for many years and eventually migrate to better solutions.

So the world definitely won't end for me either.

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry, I don't know what SAP or ABAP mean.

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do and it means they get paid large amounts of money and that they can translate a very select list of words from German to English.

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

The "large amounts of money" part only applies when you work at SAP or far enough away from them.

[–] Helix@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

SAP = German software company doing business software things.

ABAP = their convoluted programming language probably passed down by the devil himself.

If those cease to exist, nothing of value is lost.

Network Engineer.

The internet becomes more stable because we stop fiddling with the internet routing protocols.

[–] randombullet@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Yep, I'm one as well. No more routes to fuck up. No more vlans to trunk by accident.

Payroll admin so... if you hadn't specified that's it was just within my industry I think the whole world would come to a standstill by Friday. Lol.

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Lando_@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, within the next two weeks for sure. Lolol

[–] Helix@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

In Germany, you get paid every month, not biweekly. Since it's the end of the month, it will be next Friday anyway.

But the world would not come to a standstill, people would still work and complain they don't get paid. You can see how that works through the yearly US government shutdown.

Graphic designer. AI is getting pretty crazy so you all could be just fine. AI will make you what you want but will it make you what you need? Just sayin.

[–] Helix@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Chaos would still ensue as even though AI knows how to make what you want, people don't know what they want.

[–] SamboT@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy shit my job is worthless

[–] Helix@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

If all people with worthless jobs stop to exist, the world's population would probably be 90% smaller.

[–] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Admin paper pushers coordinate so others can have frictionless meetings. Most likely all meetings will be awful, and initiatives will not have approvals so fraud will propagate quickly

[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh so business as usual then?

[–] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You say this as a joke, but it will not be business as usual. Trust is HUGE when it comes to investments. Without admin, trust goes down, investors become misers, total wealth decreases, and everyone will have the same credibility as a scammer on the phone talking about Nigerian princes etc. So it may not go to a barter economy, but several parts will stagnate because they can't trust investing in their own company's growth.

[–] Helix@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

total wealth decreases

how is that a bad thing?

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trucks dont get dispatched so give it a few days and grocery stores will run out, every store will out.

[–] Helix@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Only a few days? As soon as news will break out, COVID told us that people will absolutely raid every single useful item from stores in hours.
