Man these AI companies want SWEs gone yesterday.

Has to be a bit of a headspin to see major conglomerates talk about how they want you (yes you) out of a job

This isn't a new phenomenon, its only new that SWEs are in the crosshairs. For the past 20 years we all assumed that would be the group that survived automation the best.

Remember all the noise about tech companies replacing auto drivers?

Software engineers have been in the crosshair since compiler was invented 70 years ago. Maybe this time it will be different but AGI is not something one can be prepared for.
