What's different is that people who thought they were basically on the "golden path" suddenly have no idea what their job looks like in five years or if it exists.

I agree for SWE specifically that AI is changing the career dramatically, and in a way that makes life less predictable. But I don’t know how the definition of success has changed - at least in America it still seems to be good professional job plus family.
You’re being pedantic about the literal wording and missing the intended meaning even though I just spelled it out for you.
Maybe spell it out in more detail? Forgive my inability to follow the argument.
My overall point is that what's happening in SWE right now is not happening (yet?) in other fields. And so we can't extrapolate from SWE experience to wider social experiance.
