lol. Chickenshit.
That's been my stance since the top of the thread.
You seem to forget some of us have actually been around since the dawn of the PC (and prior) while living through the acceptance of various technology tools. The pace of this will be much faster than going from 10 column pads to VisiCalc to Lotus 123 to Excel (as just one example) - that was about a 10 year window.
The problem is going to be when old timers who can spot discrepancies of output in their sleep (guys like me in my profession or Damone in his) age out and the machines spit out shit and have no feedback loop. That window is probably going to be more like 10 to 15 years.
In the meantime, folks with a few years under their belts in the real world who can help non-techies adapt will make a killing - which is probably where you find yourself right now.
I've been doing this, forward deployed, completely flattened out, for over a decade. What software companies want to ultimately be now, the smaller companies have always needed to be for years.
I sincerely do hope Haie is right and people keep their jobs and AI doesn't wipe out an entire industry.
I'm not hearing another person take that position, but there's a chance that the sky is falling mentality is spiraling because widespread AI use is so new for everyone.
Replacing people with algorithms and robots is very depressing.

Technology wipes out industries - how many people do you know that shoe horses? Industrialization killed the farmer tilling his field walking behind a horse.
Xerox destroyed carbon paper. It happens.
I'm semi-retired. My professional well being is not going to be impacted much if any. It's the youngsters that should have their head on a swivel.
Maybe you should check back in three to five years like I said.You're not hearing another person take that position?!
Jesus fuck I needed to have stopped responded here like 5 pages ago.
The carbon paper guys didn't see Xerox coming either because they were the 'experts' in replication.
Trust the experts.
Yeah what the fuck do paper guys and bean counters have to do with what I do again?
I already read the history lesson/word salad
History is a pretty good teacher.
Is your position that AI is just a concept and it will have no impact on technology?
No, that's not my position at all.
I've already said I use Claude/multi session, Q, codex, and 2 IDE's. When I'm not having to look into other stuff, in which case I have to use more, like pgadmin.
Then I'm having a hard time understanding what is the issue here?
@Bob_C and I use Claude. One of my companies also has a propriety version of AI though I couldn't tell you what the fuck they are doing with it to save my life. It doesn't impact what I need to do.
It's changing how work is done. It's going to fuck some people, too.
Others are going to get stinking rich just like the last few technology cycles.
