> A dystopia in which ill look for a new career.

What makes you think that will be necessary?

Because I dont want to work with AI agents? I like my work to be fun, as in "I could bear working 8 hours a day with this." I like thinking about the problems and solutions and how that translates to code. I like implementing it with my own hands. Substitute that with writing prompts and I'll look for a different career thats actually fun.
What makes you think you having a career will be a thing by that point?
Because it already is a thing? Some companies already force AI upon their devs. And weird, I still need to pay my bills so yea, I need a career to do so.
