AI didn't shrink the dev market, it split it into two groups.
One group sees AI as competition. They're still doing everything the slow way, worried a tool is coming for their job.
The other group sees it as leverage. They let AI handle the boilerplate, the scaffolding, the repetitive first drafts and spend their actual time on what a developer is really paid for: architecture, trade-off decisions, and catching the bugs AI confidently ships with total confidence.
Same skills. Same market. Very different outcomes.
The gap between these two groups isn't going to close it's going to widen.
Where do you land right now, is AI competition, or leverage, in how you work? 👇
