I'm seeing a lot of concerns about the future of programmers and their employability. Remember that nobody is doing you a favor. People get paid what they're worth, including programmers. The thing about imposter syndrome is it sneaks up on you when you're surrounded by other talented coders all the time. You start forgetting that what you do isn't common; not everyone can whip up code like you can. When AI starts shaking up the world of programming, that’s when you know it’s really game over for all other white-collar jobs.

Today's big tech companies might seem invincible, but they’re not. Their edge? It's going to wear thin, especially once everyone else starts jumping in with custom solutions. Instagram with just 13 people gave Facebook a run for its money. That was before the era of LLMs. Imagine now – anyone could potentially build the next big thing in an afternoon.

And don’t get me started on the legal stuff. There are so many laws, no one person can know them all. But LLMs? They can handle it. What happens when the legal system gets flooded with cases about loopholes no one knew existed? Or when everyone can have the world's best lawyer for free? It's wild to think about.

ChatGPT came out of nowhere for most of us, and robotics is going to hit us harder and sooner than we realize. No politician or law can keep up with this tech freight train we're on. We’re talking about more progress in the next 20 years than in the last 20,000. Jobs and whether we can stay employed? That's going to be the least of our worries.

Or AI will hit a plateau and we'll all get a little bit more productive.
