Dr. "Bender", like the robot from Futurama? Yeah, sure. Awesome prank.

Engineers on the brink of extinction threaten entire tech ecosystems

Everything is propaganda. Most humans will do whatever the richest, loudest voices among them tell them to do, provided that they eventually back up the promise of prestige with competitive capital incentives. For the last 30 years, big tech billionaires have required thousands of software engineers: "We require more vespene gas." When the hardware knowledge crisis comes, big tech will launch a new propaganda drive to allocate new human resources: "We require more minerals." It's that simple. We are units and players. If you're moving units around, you're a player. If you're not playing, you're a unit. Just go with the flow to make money, and if that doesn't float your boat, switch sides. That's all there is to human life. All possible jobs are either clicking, or being clicked. The delusion that there is anything else going on in this game is a serious mental illness that causes most personal stagnation and unhappiness. If enough people succumb to it, there is a critical mass beyond which any society will collapse. We're designed to develop this infinite map forever. Period. No building, no fighting = your team loses. There are always other teams, new obstacles.

Mission briefing out of the way, every tech college student in America is given two crystal clear choices upon matriculation: pick Computer Science if you want to program; pick Computer Engineering if you want to solder stuff. If you're not a complete incel, you'll be funneled into project management; if you need a calculator to tip a waitress, IT. The probability of new units choosing Computer Science is directly proportional to the number of times players highlight them and click on vespene gas geysers. When, not if, the big players decide to reallocate new units into hardware, they will begin clicking on mineral crystals.
