The trend of developers on LinkedIn declaring themselves useless post-AI is hilarious.

I keep seeing popular posts from people with impressive titles claiming 'AI can do anything now, engineers are obsolete'. And then I look at the miserable suggestions from copilot or chatgpt and can't help but laugh.

Surely given some ok-ish looking code, which doesn't work, and then deciding your career is over shows you never understood what you were doing. I mean sure, if your understanding of the job is writing random snippets of code for a tiny scope without understanding what it does, what it's for or how it interacts with the overall project then ok maybe you are obsolete, but what in the hell were you ever contributing to begin with?

These declarations are the most stunning self-own, it's not impostor syndrome if you're really 3 kids in a trenchcoat.
