alt Hacker News> Yeah, prepare for the future.
Well excuse the shit out of my goddamn French, but being comfy for years and suddenly facing literal doom of my profession in a year wasn't on my bingo card.
And what do you even mean by "prepare"? Shit out a couple of mil out of my ass and invest asap?

Not the person you're responding to but... if you think it's a horse -> car change (and, to stretch the metaphor, if you think you're in the business of building stables) then preparation means train in another profession.
If you think it's a hand tools -> power tools change, learn how to use the new tools so you don't get left behind.
My opinion is it's a hand -> power tools change, and that LLMs give me the power to solve more problems for clients, and do it faster and more predictably than a client trying to achieve the same with an LLM. I hope I'm right :-)
Sharpen sticks, hoard water maybe? We were always going to die someday, I don't see how this changes things.
