The way I look at it is I just need to get through the next year or so. I also don't believe AI is going to replace everyone, but I do believe that a lot of "leaders" are going to make cuts. They all read the same blogs and listen to the same podcasts and once one makes a move they seem to tend to follow each other.

Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part but I still don't see AI replacing absolutely everyone. As someone who I'd say tends to be in the upper 20% of performers but not setting the world on fire I'm not too worried about my job completely disappearing but I am worried in the short term about layoffs and chaos when loads of people are trying to find jobs at the same time.

What happens after the next year then? Or if only top 10-5% performers stay (and that's in combo with AI).

Yes, my previous employer listens to these podcasts. After some random minor disagreement he fired me on a whim, and is now happily adding LLM-generated pasta to his spaghetti clusterf*ck on a daily basis. Throughput baby!
