If you understand what software engineering as a career actually entails (lots of people and organizational problems, understanding legacy code and tradeoffs) you are at a career advantage over those who understand the job as just producing code.

Those jobs could be replaced. But that ain’t the job

same here. LLMs have replaced the majority of my google searching and stack overflow, but i still do most of the actual coding unless it's very basic repetitive stuff like test scaffolding.
