My company just fired 40 employess they all doing same stuff every day no new tasks somehow boss learned Claude Code and tried to automate their entire work flow and guess what. It worked all 40 people doing the tasks AI doing that for just 20$ per month running on server. Only some of us left who still doing some every day problem solving tasks but i don't think it will take time when they come for us too. 3 Years back when i started using chatgpt i thought this will make my work easier and create more jobs and it actually just not make jobs easier its doing entire job without even lifting finger to keyboard and i finally witnessed AI taking job in my own company.
