Agree with the message, coding since 1986, I have learned to not suffer from FOMO and wait for the dust to settle.

Ironically one might even get projects to fix the mess left behind, as the magpies focus their attention into something else.

In the case of AI, the fallacy is thinking that even if ridding the wave, everyone is allowed to stay around, now that the team can deliver more with less people.

Maybe rushing out to the AI frontline won't bring in the interests that one is hoping for.

EDIT: To make the point even clearer, with SaaS and iPaaS products, serverless, managed clouds, many projects now require a team that is rather small, versus having to develop everything from scratch on-prem. AI based development reduces even further the team size.
