> I finished it 1.5 hour after the meeting and sent the client a video demo. He was blown away and couldn’t believe how fast I did it.
He probably mistook it for a job done properly.
> So how the heck did 3 other devs think it was going to take 4 weeks???
They probably budgetted for a job done properly.

  I understand your skepticism but their estimate was for a POC not a fully blown implemented feature. What I gave them was a POC with TONS of warnings that this was AI generated and vibe coded and not tested and not reviewed etc etc. they understood but loved the fact that they have something “working” that they can show off to higher ups. I was very very clear about the fact that it was very rough and not production ready - after all it was less than 2 hours of work.

You just produced a layoff my friend. And after the sarcasm we all could agree this is gonna be happening everywhere in a matter of months and we will be horrified by the lack of empathy and the industry situation and blablabla but at the end this story is the representation of a truth, not many of us will end our working life in this industry. It's over, take it or leave it.

  Agreed. The devs that don’t see the writing on the wall are going to be very disappointed. They are the ones screaming “AI slop” on every post on the internet. It’s the farmer that once said “tractors and machines will never replace me” only to be unemployed and bitter a few months/years later.
  If we don’t adapt, we will not survive. I know this is a hard pill to swallow because we all thought we were set for life with job security and high paying jobs forever. This is changing fast or maybe already changed.
  Lots of uncertainty and no one knows how this will pan out. The optimist in me thinks/hopes that new doors will open shrug
