I'm guessing it has to do with enshitification but I don't know the story behind any of them

I'm a senior level FE-Engineer at a large e-commerce company with a complex mono-repo codebase. Ever since our company handed out Claude accounts most of my co-workers and I have been using Opus pretty much every day. It often feels like I don't code anymore so much as manage a very talented junior engineer.

For patterns in the code that have already been established, I'd say it has a about a 95% success rate on a given task, with occasional follow-up prompts to cover anything it's missed.

For new features it maybe gets 70% of the way there and I have to go in and fix or add the rest. It's still terrible at CSS.

All of this still requires a senior level engineer like myself to write intelligent prompts, answer AI questions, and review. So, to that extent I don't believe a PM is going to vibe code my job away.

What I'm concerned with is how much faster I'm now getting my work done. AI isn't perfect for all tasks, but for the mundane and predictable ones, it makes my job a breeze and I would say it has cut my overall workload almost in half. It's also let me extend past my expertise and make changes to codebases in languages I'm not as familiar with with great success.

Our CTO has already noticed this and closed our open reqs for new engineers since we're now ahead of schedule on our roadmap. It's only a matter of time, in my opinion, before the industry as a whole catches on that they need half the engineers to do the same amount of work. I know it's already brutal out there for developers looking for employment and I can't imagine what will be like in another 5 years.

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to stocks. My Portfolio strategy has always been to drop a chunk of my paycheck each month into the usual ETFs, max out my 401k, and wait until I retire to sell. I rarely look at it. I'm vanilla like that.

However, some divine soul descended from heaven onto this subreddit many years ago made a very convincing argument to buy shares of AMD back in 2018, so I dropped about $20k into it. Fast forward to me coming back to look at my account to find its now up 2500% from when I bought it. Which is insane and amazing, trust me I'm not complaining. It feels like all the terrible cards I've been dealt in life have been balanced out by this good one.

Except now - with every reddit thread and youtube post constantly screaming about the AI Bubble I feel like I could lose it all very quickly. Even in a single day it goes up or down $10,000 and I think, man if I just wait another day I could have 6 months of rent covered just like that.

My gut instinct tells me to consider myself lucky and just liquidate all of it and reinvest back into my safe and boring ETFs. But, on the other hand, I always see the advice repeated on here not to panic sell when people start talking about the bubble popping. So I'm not sure what to do.

Update: So I've decided to follow the general consensus and sell 70% of my AMD shares and forget about the rest for another 8 years. Thanks ya'll

I have “upload at the highest quality” turned on and I shoot all my videos in 4k. They look crisp on my phone but they never look this good when uploading them. Anyone have an idea on how an account like this maintains this level of quality?
