I think a lot of people relate with this but kind of sit with this silently for reasons the author mentioned:

“ Would initiating these discussions result in interpersonal stress? Should I just let things slide? Would I become known as a “difficult” coworker for pushing back on AI use? Does any of it really matter? Does anyone really care? “

I'm asking myself the same question for a different reason: nobody will even interview me. I've been out of work for a while. Savings are running out. I apparently don't even know how to look for a job anymore.

The best way to find out: just start. You’ll improve along the way. Questions like this (and anxiety) are best fixed by action.

When someone says “no one will interview me” this is a pretty unhelpful response.

I have no advice to offer, I only wish you good luck. I am still lucky enough to be employed, but when this whole parade ends, I have no idea what comes next - my only skill is programming and related knowledge work. I think the only path forward is to try to jump ship to another white or blue collar industry…
