Will AI replace my coding job?

If you're in rote tasks like boilerplate or debugging—yes, soon. Pivot to architecture, integration, or domain-specific prompting. Data abundance dooms juniors first.

Why hasn't AI taken driving jobs yet?

Scarce, proprietary data for rare events. Billions invested, but no internet-scale corpus. Give it 5-10 years as fleets generate it.
