All appreciated, thanks. Any thoughts on what those proactive steps would be? I'm early-career (26yo, "senior" software dude at a defense outfit).

Very seriously, try not to read about it. Delete the apps that make you most anxious. Then eat better, exercise three times a week, and together those will help you feel better and sleep better. Finally search for people or activities that give you energy and focus on those. Maybe it’s jamming on a guitar. Maybe it’s reading. Just embrace the moment you’re in for a bit and I think you will be better prepared for anything.

		If passivity doesn't work out, there are active ways to achieve fulfillment. I think we should stand up for what is important in life: craft, fulfillment, skills, and actively oppose people, tools and activities that trample on good. Still do the workouts, still do the best job you can, but also make sure to use satire, ridicule and humor to make the people writing posts like this just a tad more uncomfortable and second guess themselves before posting a link to a vibed blog with such low quality.

It’s hard. It mostly comes down to learning new things, playing in spaces you don’t often play. I am 45 now and work in big tech. Just keep learning, growing. Embrace AI, understand how it works, what it is good at. Be the one to try things like in this article. Have an opinion and be right more often than not on AI. Not much else to do. Stay sharp and we will all see what happens :)
