I understand your feeling, I feel the same way too. I honestly don't know what to do either. Right now here's what I think makes sense.
It is likely software development will be one of the first things to get disrupted along with art. You don't have replace everyone just increase productivity greatly. This is unfortunate as those who lose job need to fend for themselves till UBI.
(1) If financial security is an issue you must be at your job till you get replaced and learn to use AI as a tool and prolong the inevitable replacement as long as possible.
(2) Assess how good GPT-4 will be at coding. Given it will be heavily trained on code and openAI is offering foundry to companies, it must be the best model for a while.
(2a) If GPT-4 is poor at programming continue on till next big model.
(2b) If GPT-4 or any other new model is reasonably good at it. Do the following based on how well off you are.
If you have greater than 10X yearly expenses saved. Quit and enjoy life.
If you have greater than 5X yearly expenses saved. Quit and enjoy life at reasonable expenses with some odd jobs along the way.
If less than 5X but greater then 3X saved. Continue working till you get replaced but chill a bit.
Less than 3X saved then we don't really have a choice now do we.
