I sometimes think the same, but look at it this way: you’re an IT worker—probably a specialist, at least a bit of a nerd in something. The days when we were seen as “wizards” are gone, sure. Right now a lot of people in business, and at the interface between business and IT, are riding a wave of confidence because of AI. But the difference is: you’re a critical thinker. They’re just using the tool at face value. Anyone can ask AI: “write me this code.” But you understand how things actually work in production—trade-offs, edge cases, long-term consequences. Thats the real leverage. So use AI differently. Don’t just generate code, ask better questions: How does the business actually work? Why is this process done this way? What are we optimizing for? In my perspective it's the normies knowledge that's at risk. A critical thinker with technical skills will have the edge and should get far more out of AI than someone who just feels empowered by it.
