But isn't that what Linux admins said when Cloud and Platform Engineering became a "thing".

Puppet, Chef, Ansible they are taking the fun out of system administration, Cloud it's going to take away my job. But what happened is roles changed, SRE, Platform Engineering, dare I say DevOps engineers (whatever those are) all emerged.

Software engineering is going through he same transformation with the same knee jerk reactions from both sides of the argument. Either AI run rampant with no guardrails like OpenClaw people burning 1000s in tokens, OpenClaw calling them randomly at 2am, etc.. then on the other side of the argument we have a petition asking the Node.js Technical Steering Committee to ban AI-assisted code from Node.js core.

AI is here, it's here to stay, I believe that those of us that will be successful will find the middle ground.
