They say my job won't survive...

Its true, but why we have to constantly listen to doom calls? Even if we are resilient, how much of this Bullshit we can bear to hear actually?
Lets replace our leaders. They are useless. Then their useless narrative will change as well.

I am a beginner and I am still learning concepts. For some reason every time I look for a guide on the internet there will always be comments saying that chatgpt or cursor can do this in 3 seconds or sm. It annoys me sometimes.

It is like with stock market crash that will end everything like there where tough times but even after great depression we as humanity stood up and developed further and further with time and developers job will change etc. But for 99% it won’t go extinct the tools may change but idea of problem solving with help of algorithms and data structures will propably live as long as our civilization.

Right now ChatGPT is trying to make heads or tails of SASS, I really doubt it’ll ever fully replace me.

really great thoughts. And very relevant in so many ways. Thank you for sharing.
