Are we afraid of AI taking our jobs or afraid of what it’s already changing? 🤖 Nearly half of workers are “job hugging” because switching roles feels too risky right now. And honestly, I get it. The fear isn’t that AI will replace all engineers overnight it’s that it will replace enough of them to shrink entry and mid-level opportunities, making the field brutally competitive. 👩🏻‍💻I remember using AI at work in early 2024. Basic ChatGPT, a clumsy copilot that struggled with simple tests. Fast forward to 2026: agent mode, autonomous debugging, and AI handling most entry-level engineering tasks. That’s less than two years. No one really knows where this peaks or how it reshapes the CS ecosystem. ✨There’s also the quieter issue: productivity pressure. “AI makes you faster” has turned into “do more with less.” Engineers are expected to code, design systems, build agents, onboard clients, and think product all at once. Context switching becomes the norm, and deep focus on fundamenta...
