We should instead be asking how to prepare ourselves as a society—and as individuals—with the skills, mindsets, and infrastructure to survive and thrive after this thing moves through.

AI is a Technological Weather Storm.

Mass unemployment. A loss of meaning. The need to build a different kind of economy.

We shouldn’t be over-rotating on why it’s happening, or who to blame, or how to stop it. It’s weather.

If we’re angry about an earthquake or a hurricane, we should mostly be angry about not being ready to handle what comes after.

- Do people have insurance?
- Can they get healthcare?
- Can their kids go to school?

It’s the same with AI—but it’s the biggest Tech Weather Event we’ve ever had.

It’s not about having more jobs. It’s about having different kinds of people in those roles.

I don’t think most current developer roles transfer neatly into that world.

Some will. Many won’t.

And I think we should start preparing for that now.
