I’m a frontend developer with 9 years of experience. I’m using claude every day like many of you, feeling a bit more productive but not 10x so. I’m finding that most of the hard part of my job now is defining the exact parameters of the work, integrating it with existing systems, looking for bugs and edge cases and still lots of UI tuning because clause is just not great at building precise UIs in our existing design system. However my whole day operating over a constant and sometimes overwhelming hum of anxiety about whether I’ll still have a job in a year. it’s not as though i have enough money to live off savings for a decade or more. I’ve heard more and more talk about the death of SaaS and the rise of agentic interfaces. if the only dev jobs left are taken by the senior cloud/infra engineers managing huge systems and orchestrating agents, what chance have I got? im trying to learn more AWS in my off time to move towards cloud/infra knowledge and i should be building agentic interfaces on the weekends. I’m in front of a computer all day, nearly every day. But I wonder if there will even be time to get good enough at that to code switch before those jobs are too hard to come by. Have I been to swept up in the recent hype? am I being ridiculous? The incredible accuracy of gen AI video gives me a new panic attack every day. WTF is the point of doing anything? do I move to the country and start subsistence farming? there I go again… submitted by /u/MaintenanceEither186
