A personal reflection on navigating career anxiety in the age of AI, drawing on the author's journey from a French literature PhD to a software developer. Using the literary trope 'Ubi Sunt' — the mourning of what has passed — the author argues that developers feeling displaced by AI tools are not alone, and that those with humanities backgrounds have long coped with obsolescence. The key message: embrace interdisciplinarity, bring your whole self to work, and accept that change is the only constant.
