Make yourself redundant as an engineer.
Automate your dev workflow until AI does most of the job.
Replace yourself, deliberately.
The lessons from that process are exactly what the market needs.
The places where you remain irreplaceable are exactly where the market values you most.

Engineers should deliberately automate their workflows and leverage AI to handle routine tasks. This process reveals which skills remain irreplaceable and where the market values engineers most, ultimately identifying areas of unique professional value.

Make yourself redundant as an engineer.

This makes sense on paper, assuming that there will always be good opportunities out there to move on to, but it’s simply not the case for everybody.
One of the reasons why I work for companies is job safety and a stable income. I know that these companies will need me to work on projects, maintain existing code and so on. If every N months I had to think “ok I automated everything, i am now redundant”, then working for a company would not make sense anymore.
If you are THAT adventurous maybe you should go all in and work on your own company
As developers, we have so much power to create that I would expect this to end with “Create, Innovate, Experiment” instead of “Adapt”

This feels like one of those word-salad LinkedIn posts masquerading as deep insights and I was not going to even bother commenting especially after reading all the other comments, but I reread it several times to make sure I wasn’t missing the point (I have a small Ape brain and sometimes it’s just not able to “get it”) but I finally understood it, and my take away is the last line is really the point of the whole thing!
The idea is that once you’ve automated everything away, what’s left is the unautomatable, the things that AI can’t do, and that would be where the market value is; in the things AI can’t do. So… ‘yeah, no s#!t’ is my initial thought!
Thanks for the post!
