Everyone nitpicking OP's personal choices, is this because the job market is not in fact being gutted by AI?

It's being gutted by a focus on AI investments which translates to more AI jobs, but that's not the same thing as AI itself automating your job away.

I'm using Claude everyday for my work. Am I just missing out on how awesome the things have gotten in this space?

I'm building a business and if it were, say, 2018 I would have already made several dev hires already this year. But using LLMs I simply do not have the demand for labor that I would have had.

This is a $900k ARR business already. Android and iOS apps published, as well as a webapp. We do not have a dev team.
