You've satisfactorily satisfactorily read about AI transforming your industry. You've probably sat through a few talks about it too. But nobody's addressed the thing you actually feel when you open your laptop on Monday morning: is what I do still going to matter?

This talk uses the five stages of grief as a lens for what's really happening to software people right now. Not the tooling. Not the productivity gains. The identity stuff. The bit nobody wants to say out loud in a standup.

You'll laugh. You'll probably recognise yourself. You'll leave with a framework for working out where you are on the journey and who to talk to about it.
