I'm training the tool that will replace me. How are you doing? 🤖📉

A few observations about the IT market from someone who hasn't written a single line of code manually since January - everything is now entrusted to AI.

A brief update: I'm still with the company, and I closed the first half of the year with a high rating. However, my previous department in London was completely shut down in May. Some people were laid off, and I was transferred to a new team.

The irony of the situation is that I'm currently helping to build the AI that will, in the foreseeable future, calmly replace me and many other engineers. It's that feeling when you're digging your own grave with your skillset, but for now, they're still paying me - so we keep working.

Am I happy? That's a philosophical question. Job security is worth its weight in gold these days. Seeing acquaintances searching for jobs for six months or more only adds to the anxiety. It's hard to imagine what the IT industry will be like even in a year.
