#2Narrator: that is not why Jasper really quit Apple. Especially at Apple, no one will automate his job "by the end of the year", or in the foreseeable future.

#5Another one falling for a modern Pascal's wager and making poor decisions or simply posting something that sounds cool to cover a big L.

#6Someone had to be fired to convince investors they are really replacing developers with "AI".

#7The author is hyping up AI, including making people redundant, only to reveal at the end that he is going into AI sales.
Olympic level acrobatics.

#8About four years of total industry experience, split across two very different work domains, in what sounds like one organization.
I can't make an honest guess about whether their actual job will be "automated" or otherwise made redundant in the next year, as they suggest. Maybe they're right that they've been doing easily automatable work for these few years.
But I can question whether they have nearly enough insight, exposure, or experience for their personal anxiety to speak to the future of industry at large, to the future of FAANG's in general, or even to the future of their own "FAANGco"
I hope them the best in their personal decisions, but I wonder if they're getting a little over their skis here.

#9Am I the only one that thinks that being "agent wrangler" actually makes building things more fun?
To me, the interesting parts in building is taking a real problem, mapping it to a set of "things" that need to be built, decompose them into treatable chunks, and defining how they should interact. This is where intelligence comes in. if agents want to take the rest, please do! I can focus on making better products.

#10The closing:
> So the next step in my career is going to be talking to people about great AI products that are being built and helping them figure out if they'd find these products useful. If you're building a great product and would like somebody to tell people about it, please don't hesitate to reach out!
So, the blog post up to that point, about how AI will wipe out jobs, could be an audition for selling AI products to businesses.
