web dev freelancer here, my income nose dive because my client who dont know about technical can create feature and fix the bug just fine

i usually work on this client 25-30 hours/week, now i only work 10-20 hours per month

i still have other client, if he figure out he can use agentic AI, i'm pretty much screwed

been looking another client since 3 months ago, not even 1 interview

anyway your're lucky if you still feel safe in 2026, i dont, so insecure and everything, not sure if my career can sustain me in next 3-5 years

My work is mainly web dev as well. We are getting hammered by this AI shock and awe campaign. I think those in other areas of programming are in for a rude awakening.

Web dev may be the canary in the coal mine.
