before you drag the "software engineering is over by next year" quote, consider Dario's "90% of Code will be made by AI in 3–6 Months" has rung true (for my own dev). No idea what next year looks like, but full-vibe-full-send could absolutely be the default (for better or worse)

My ElixirConfEU talk is live! I touch on the current AI dev landscape and live demo phoenix.new.
We just left our punchcard era. For better or worse we're going to look back next year and think it's crazy we had to peck keys out by hand.

I discovered that In order to do the engineering
I want to do, I have to have my own company

It's OK to predict the future and be wrong. BUT — Being a believer is more profitable than being a skeptic, because if you're a skeptic and right, you make no new thing happen.
If you're a believer and you're right, something awesome happens. Nice incentive to be positive sum.

Let yourself occasionally get a little screwed in exchange for not having to live with your guard up all the time. It’s worth it.

If you consistently do something today instead of scheduling a meeting for next week, your career is likely to be far more impactful than most.

I was once invited to speak at McKinsey. I started by asking, “how many of you have ever started or run your own business?” No one put their hands up. I then announced the name of my presention, “Anything is easy when you don’t have to do it”.
I’ve not been invited back.
