Tech folk. Anyone really.

  What does "safe" mean? Unemployment in the US right now is under 5% which is historically very good (even though it's been slightly trending upwards over the past few months).

    Employed. My contention is the AI is getting so good at doing tech related things that you'll need far fewer employees. I think Claude Code 4.5 is already there. Honestly, it just needs to permeate the market.

      I agree that Claude Code is a lot more effective than I was expecting, but I don't think it can fully replace human software engineers, nor do I think it's on any trajectory to do so. It does make senior engineers a lot more productive so I could see it reducing some demand for new grad software engineers.

        How many years will it need to study completed projects by senior engineers?

    Keep in mind this is supporting the gif economy too. Lots of people are underemployed not necessarily unemployed because they start driving Uber for example instead of just wanting to sit at home after a job loss.
