@sickdotdev ai won’t steal “jobs”, it’ll quietly delete the boring 70% of your day and expose whether you were actually good at the remaining 30%.
English

@sickdotdev Probably the job of sounding confident while adding nothing, because AI is already overqualified for that.
English

@sickdotdev none of them yet. it's augmenting, not replacing. the careers that disappear will be the ones where humans were already doing ai's job anyway
English

@skar_connect "improve efficiency" is what you call it before layoffs hit
English

@sickdotdev AI can not steal any job. It will improve the human efficiency

@azadivian yeah bro AI definitely waking up at 3am to "find content ideas"😭

🚨 This is how engineering cultures collapse.
Strong engineers build in C.
C builds the foundations.
Foundations create leverage.
Leverage creates comfort.
Comfort creates Python.
Python creates AI.
AI creates vibe coding.
Vibe coding creates weak engineers.
Weak engineers create collapse.
Collapse creates strong engineers.
The cycle repeats.
Every. Single. Time.
Most people think tech moves forward linearly.
It doesn’t.
It oscillates between:
deep understanding
and convenience addiction
We’re currently at peak convenience.
abstractions everywhere
AI writing code
devs shipping without understanding
And it feels like progress…
Until it breaks.
Here’s the harsh truth:
You can’t debug what you don’t understand.
You can’t scale what you didn’t design.
You can’t fix what AI hallucinated.
That’s where the collapse begins.
The same pattern shows up everywhere (not just code):
Comfort → shortcuts → skill decay → failure → reset
Even founders go through this cycle
The winners?
They don’t reject AI.
They do this instead:
Use AI for speed
Use fundamentals for control
Because when things break…
the “vibe coders” panic
the real engineers take over
Pick your side early.
Because the reset is coming.
