Coding After Thirty
Navigating the Future of Work: AI, Job Security, and Staying Relevant. Is Devon Going To Replace Developers: and what I am doing about it or at least going to try.
Hey everyone, it's been a minute since I've caught up with you all through a video. Work has been insanely busy, but I've had something on my mind I really wanted to discuss: the impact of AI on our jobs and the possibility of a future where technology like Skynet or scenarios from movies like Terminator could become a reality.
While I half-joke about these extreme outcomes, the rapid advancement of AI technologies, like Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot, makes me ponder our future in the workforce and how to stay relevant as a self-taught web developer.
Here are five key topics I dived into:
The Uncertain Future of AI and Employment: It's tough to predict precisely how and when AI might start replacing jobs on a large scale. Whether in 5, 10, or 50 years, the pace at which AI is evolving is undeniable and somewhat unsettling.
The Current State of AI and Creative Work: With AI now capable of generating music and other forms of creative content, there's a lot of anxiety about how these capabilities will affect copyright issues and job security for creatives and how this will affect developers.
The Urgency of Staying Technologically Savvy: In my line of work, we're actively encouraged to incorporate AI tools to boost productivity. Mastering these tools could be a game-changer for our career prospects, given the rapid integration of AI in various industries.
Strategies for Future-Proofing Your Career: I shared my personal strategy for staying employable, which includes focusing on domain-specific knowledge, continuous learning, networking, and publicizing my work to increase visibility in my field.
The Role of Developers in an AI-Driven World: I reflected on the distinction between developing AI tools and using these tools to create. I aim to position myself somewhere in the middle, leveraging AI to enhance my work while also understanding the technology at a deeper level.
