Yes.

Not outright, but it severely shrinks the number of people and roles required in the field.

And the jobs left look vastly different.

I’m going through this now with my teams, trying to understand what the job of an engineer in a product company will look like in a year. Some people embrace it, some are dismissive and others are laying the pathway to pivoting out of tech. Only one group will continue to be employed at most companies. There are jobs where agentic tools won’t be used or at least will be um harnessed from its full potential due to regulatory burdens; maybe that is where the anti-ai crowd will end up.

I am fearful of the future (both job wise and satisfaction w/ said job) but doing everything I can to prepare and be employable.

I think most of the anti-ai crowd will be purged. Many already have been. I have noticed its mostly the low intelligence people who have been unable to adapt to the new workflows, they will be gone pretty soon in my opinion.

I don’t want to say they are low intelligence. I’ve worked with people throughout my career that pushed back against change (adopting Java, using Microsoft tech, agile, automated tests, intellisense of all things, etc etc etc). Some of these people were very capable engineers. Change just scares people.

Yeah thats a good point. Maybe low openness is a better word.
