Biggest lie in AI? That engineering jobs will get replaced
What’s actually getting replaced is team size
Devs who adapt will command Claude Code, Clawdbot, & Cowork as part of their tech stacks to do the work of larger teams
The tool doesn’t replace you. Someone using it does
On the one hand, AI influencers are breathlessly raving about Claude Code, Clawdbot, and Cowork. And on the other hand, most people I know—even software engineers—are despondent, overwhelmed about how everything is changing so quickly. I hear this from people early in their careers especially, a fear that everything they've learned and the skills they've gained are rapidly being devalued.
This is a mental trap. Don't fall for it. You should not just be watching from the sidelines or reading articles about "how software engineering is changing."
Imagine it was 1993 and the personal computer revolution was kicking off. If you could go back in time to then, what should you have done?
The answer: try everything. Buy a PC. Learn how to touch type. Figure out what the Internet is. Imbibe it all. Don't wait until it becomes a job requirement.
That's exactly what you should do with AI. Try everything. Try Claude Code, try Clawdbot, try the Excel integrations, Veo, everything you can get your hands on. Learn what it's doing. Build your intuitions. Be one step ahead of it. Evolve alongside it. Don't lose your curiosity or get swallowed by anxiety or let yourself be convinced that you'll learn it when you have to. Think deeply about how AI will change the things around you—not society, that's too hard to project—but how it will change your job, your personal life, your immediate environment.
No matter how old you are or young you are, no matter what stage of your career you are in, we are all going through the biggest technological change of the last 100 years, and we're going through it together. Nobody has the answers. It's obvious that so much is going to change, but nobody is going to figure it out before you do if you choose to stay at the frontier.
So don't hide from it. Sit at the front of the class. Pay close attention. And be grateful that it's never been easier to stay at the frontier of the most important technology change of our lifetimes.

✅Do your own research
✅Use real trading tools
✅build your own strategy
✅It’ll outperform influencer gambling every time.
Web3 is full of scams, and even people you’ve known for years can flip or get compromised.
Someone I’ve talked to a few times here and there since 2023, named @ThylaOG, reached out asking to use my Mutant Ape for an article for @nowmedia.
Nothing strange… until the “confirmation link” sent to me required a wallet signature and the email address didn’t match NowMedia's domain.
The final nail was a thread from the homie @nft_dreww confirming multiple compromised or recently flipped accounts with tons of mutuals.
That’s when it hit me that I almost got caught slipping.
Web3 is PvP. If you get too comfortable, you’ll get liquidated.
Stay sharp. Double-check emails. Don’t sign random links. Don’t fall for “beta tests” or “free NFT” sign-ins.
You never truly know people's intentions
