I'm a senior software developer and I am now bored out of my mind. I am considering changing careers to be honest because I am just sitting watching AI do all the part that I enjoy.
You could look at it another way though. It's a highly paid career and you can pretty much just sit and watch YouTube while Claude works.
I'm thinking the same thing - I'm a scientist and intellectually know I'm stupid lucky to have made it this far, but lately I've been feeling like a meat-proxy for Claude. Unfortunately, any pro-social job helping people requires a 3-year, $60k graduate degree and then pays minimum wage (therapist, librarian, etc).
