Who is “us”?

All software engineers are different.

AI reduces toil and only dumb work (and even struggle at this often in real world).

So if you’re doing dumb work (because of legacy, bureaucracy, poor management or any dumb reason) — yes, you’re going to be obsolete sooner or later.

“Good” news are

a) ai needs another major jump or two to be realistic and scalable tool for dumb work e2e. And those steps are not yet invented.

B) bureaucracy and poor management is stronger than the strongest ai, so there is always be some vacancies even for dumbest work
