It is kinder than the alternative, which is to just keep raising expectations and letting people get walloped out of the blue. Lots of companies otherwise basically let employees miss the train and then lay them off for it and then they are stuck searching for a job with no modern skills. To me this is the warning. AI may or may not pan out, but if it does, you don’t get to say you were blindsided.

> but if it does, you don’t get to say you were blindsided. It's absolutely a commodification of the engineers skills. The shape of this is that if they could, they would cut you out entirely. So it looks that you will be drawing the short end of the stick at one point or the other.

Oh I agree. I need to be developing more product skills as a result. But the threat of that is very clearly there.
