Does anyone else get dull feelings of dread reading this kind of thing? How do you combat it?

Stoicism. Dichotomy of control. Is this something you can control? If no, don’t dread. If yes, do something. Often, all you have firmly in your grasp are things inside of your brain. Catch the negative thought. Acknowledge it. Move on. Do not dwell. Take proactive steps to be ready in your career. You do tech ling enough and you live through multiple cycles like this.

All appreciated, thanks. Any thoughts on what those proactive steps would be? I'm early-career (26yo, "senior" software dude at a defense outfit).

It’s hard. It mostly comes down to learning new things, playing in spaces you don’t often play. I am 45 now and work in big tech. Just keep learning, growing. Embrace AI, understand how it works, what it is good at. Be the one to try things like in this article. Have an opinion and be right more often than not on AI. Not much else to do. Stay sharp and we will all see what happens :)
