If as a developer you are already reliant upon LLMs to write code or require use of abstractions that LLMs can write you are already replaceable by LLMs. As a former JavaScript developer this makes me think of all the JavaScript developers that cannot do their jobs without large JavaScript frameworks and never really learned to write original JavaScript logic. That being said you can future proof your career by learning actual concepts of engineering: process improvement, performance, accessibility, security analysis, and so on. LLMs, so as many other comments have said, remain extremely unreliable, but they can already do highly repeatable and low cost tasks like framework stuff really well. In addition to actually learning to program here are other things that will also future proof your career: * Diversify. Also learn and certify in project management, cyber security, API management, cloud operations, networking, and more. Nobody is remotely close to trusting AI to perform any kind of management or analysis. * Operations. Get good at doing human operations things like DevOps, task delegation, release management, 24 hour up time. * Security. Get a national level security clearance and security certifications. Cleared jobs remain in demand and tend to pay more. If you can get somebody to sponsor you for a TS you are extremely in demand. I work from home and don't use my TS at all, but it still got me my current job and greatly increases my value relative to my peers. * Writing. Get better at writing. If you are better at written communications than your peers you are less replaceable. I am not talking about writing books or even just writing documentation. I am talking about day-to-day writing emails. In large organizations so many problems are solved by just writing clarifying requirements and eliminating confusion that requires a supreme technical understanding of the problems without writing any code. This one thing is responsible for my last promotion.
