Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code

This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engineers lose their high price tags. I guess the next wave of knowledge workers will move in and take their place?

My guess is that, yes, the software development job market is being massively disrupted, but there are things you can do to come out on top:

* Learn more of the entire stack, especially the backend, and devops.

* Embrace the increased productivity on offer to ship more products, solo projects, etc

* Be highly selective as far as possible in how you spend your productive time: being uber-effective can mean thinking and planning in longer timescales.

* Set up an awesome personal knowledge management system and agentic assistants
