Perhaps its the apprehension/anxiety that makes it feel bad then? I like coding (building things) and couldn't care less about businesses, and am having a great time. In the current state of AI, mass layoffs probably won't happen. But I guess its a bit scary that we don't know how much more it will improve...

replyI’m sorry, what? Have you been paying any attention at all to the state of the industry lately?
I wasn't clear enough, I was replying to "you'll be the one selected, out of millions laid off," in context I meant "mass layoff" as in "95% of everyone is out of a job permanently".
replyI’d probably let go of the employees who decline using agentic tools first, tbh. All things being equal.
replyAnd that's the problem.
