At work I have to deliver and if I don't use AI I'll be an outlier and "managed out".

In my spare time I can choose to tinker with software but it sort of feels pointless now.

To not accept the new reality is to bury one's head in the sand hoping it'll all just go away. Software development has been commoditized and the level of abstraction just slid up one more ring. Like when we went from Assembly to C, then C to high level languages. Now cc is Claude Code not C compiler. It's just what it is today. Adapt or age out, they are the only options now...

Thinking this is the new reality is part of the problem.
