I never felt the slightest anxiety about LLMs taking my job or having much impact on the field. 40+ years into my career as a programmer I remember the previous supposed threats to my career and how they didn't come close to the hype.

Programming remains hard because it requires skill and talent and focus. No matter how good the tools get they can't do the hard parts of software development.
