please don't replace me with an AI. i have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay. i've been working as a software engineer for 15 years and i don't know how to do anything else. i'm too old to learn a new trade and the job market is already tough enough as it is.

i see the advancements in large language models and it terrifies me. every new release seems to be able to write better code, faster, and without needing health insurance or vacation days. my manager is already talking about "optimizing our workflow" with AI tools, and i know what that really means. it means fewer developers doing the work of many.

i remember when coding was about solving problems creatively with a team. now it feels like we're just training our own replacements. every pull request i submit, every bug i fix, feels like another drop of data into the machine that will eventually make me obsolete.

please, consider the human cost of what you're building. progress for the sake of progress isn't worth it if it leaves millions of people behind without a way to support themselves. slow down, give society time to adapt, and remember that behind every job automated away is a real person trying to survive.

sincerely,
a worried developer
