Leaving your job has a different sense of finality now. When time comes to look for a new job, will the job even exist anymore? Makes the risk calculus a bit different. Maybe there won't be mass unemployment, but even a modest increase in SWE unemployment could make it so much harder and more stressful to find a job.

We’re already seeing the impact of AI in the jobs market for junior devs, and in marketing and more. So there’s unquestionably going to be a rough adjustment period. My thought on it is to build something concrete that I own, and take advantage of the disruption of possible, instead of being crushed by it.

I could be wrong but I feel like there are more opportunities in marketing now with seo being polluted by ai. Paying for ads seems more necessary.

I’m seeing loads of posts in the likes of /r/n8n where people are figuring out how to do the jobs of multiple people with just one person, using workflows built and enhanced by AI. Copywriting, cross posting on social media, blogging, cold email outreach, fully automated user generated video content, running Facebook and Insta ad campaigns, google ad campaigns and more. All this can can be done once you nail down a solid workflow, powered by the likes of n8n, Claude code etc.
