Some people view their job as having infinite things to do, and AI means they can work on more and different things.

Other people see their specific job as a series of tasks, and if AI does those they don't know what do anymore.

Guess who is going to stay employed?

If someone is deliberately stretching out a job and making it an adversarial business relationship, when the business arrangment is that they complete the project then do another job somewhere else, then I would not expect that to be a very successful strategy, and also not really want to help them in any way beyond existing contractual obligations. You are basically guaranteeing a bad working relationship with every employer you ever have.

And it doesn't make sense because this is not a strategy that's rational for someone who enjoys their work or is good at their job anyway - if that describes you, then your existing employer is probably one of if not the best advocate you have, and your best strategy would be to either switch careers or progress to a point you don't feel precarious

That's why I say you are really hurting yourself more than you know. You are guaranteeing an at-best "every boss dislikes me and my career goal is not getting fired" outcome and (idk about your actual employer) damaging relationships you really probably need (if this is your mindset)

I take an issue with that mindset because I know it is not true. And I'm not sure why you think I am attacking this person - if someone were to actually sandbag their own career, that is probably one of the most damaging mistakes they could make. Maybe I misunderstand something, if so I apologize for that

And I agree with the parent, because I read it every single day on HackerNews. If by this point you're still talking about LLMs not being able to write good code, you're not living in reality.

So, go ahead and keep talking about all the AI companies going bankrupt, or whatever other fantasies you're waiting for. But your teammates are getting tired of it.
