I am not afraid of being replaced by AI, at all


That means you are ok financially to retire


No, my thinking is that if software engineers are replaced by AI, then any job can be replaced by AI and the global economy will catastrophically collapse. I'm not afraid of being replaced because not only can I do nothing about it, but i will be utterly powerless to find any kind of income afterwords also. AI will have destroyed the world without any violence and then we'll all be in the same boat


I'm not afraid of it either, but that has nothing to do with how financially secure I am. It has more to do with me not seeing a path to AI replacing engineers in any significant way.
