#6It 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.

And what is senior staff going to do if they quit? As if your standard enterprise dev (where most developers work) made enough to retire early.
