refactors entire codebases during your lunch break
You architect complex software stacks and debug hardware-software interfaces. The code writes itself, you just watch it fail.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why the legacy system crashes despite the documentation being entirely wrong.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
AI models take over all syntax checking and style adherence.
Month 3
Neural engines generate boilerplate system designs from simple text prompts.
Month 9
Automated agents root-cause and patch low-level memory leaks autonomously.
Month 16
AI models predict performance bottlenecks before the silicon is taped out.
Year 2 · D-Day
The system runs itself; the engineering team is gracefully reallocated.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
