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

Do you have any specific tips for the last point? I completely agree with it and have set up a fairly robust Obsidian note taking structure that will benefit greatly from an agentic assistant. Do you use specific tools or workframe for this?

What works well for me at the moment is to write 'books' - i.e use ai as a writing assistant for large documents. I do this because the act of compiling the info with ai assistance helps me to assimilate the knowledge. I use a combination of Chatgpt, perplexity and Gemini with notebook LM - to merge responses from separate LLMs, provide critical feedback on a response, or a chunk of writing, etc.

This is a really accessible setup and is great for my current needs. Taking it to the next stage with agentic assistants is something I'm only just starting out on. I'm looking at WilmerAI [1] for routing ai workflows and Hoarder [2] to automatically ingest and categorize bookmarks, docs and RSS feed content into a local RAG.

You know about the copilot plugin for obsidian?

Yes I've started using it but it feels significantly underdevoloped compared to GH Copilot or Cursor. I've considered opening the vault in VSC actually.

Yeah, I know what you mean, the RAG retrieval is a bit hit and miss for me. It's better if you tag in the notes you want to refer to. But I doubt it has a team behind it like Cursor. Depending on how many notes you have, given it's markdown you could just upload them to a Project in Claude.
