There is no "losing my job to AI". What I could do before I can now do x100. Now I can write 10,000 lines of highly directed code in one day. The only people losing their jobs are the ones who were not real programmers at heart and did it for money or simply as a job and they can be fired for all I care, I will do their work too.

Who is ever writing 10k lines of code in one day?

I've been writing code professionally for over a decade and love it. Generative AI has rather (un)ironically taken from me much of what I used to love about it.

Edit: With a username like that, I think you're a bot.

Sounds like you should move on and make room for your replacement then. And usernames reveal bots? You should expand on that as a business except you now have one false positive for a 0% success rate so far.

Your account is clearly a new one, created so you could so argumentatively reply to this post. Your responses don't make you sound so nearly as clever as you think.
