AI won't steal your job.
A person using AI to fake your skills will.
Then the AI will cause them to make a devastating mistake.
And they won't know how fix it.
That's when you get your job back.
Remember to request a higher salary.

@axbom when the plumber charges a couple hundred bucks for a fix that takes fifteen minutes, we have to remember that they're charging for the years of experience and training that made it into a fifteen minute job.

And a fifteen-minute job that won't come undone in a week, but actually hold water (pun intended) for many years.

That's definitely how I reason around my own rates.

@axbom it has taken me an embarassingly-long time in my life to internalize this reasoning for myself as well.

There's also the part where you are happy that people appreciate you and it feels embarassing to charge money for that.

The struggle is a testament to reflection around fairness and honesty. 😊

@stripey @axbom That's not my experience with plumbers. My experience is that they charge $250 to come out for a 15 minute job that needs a specific tool I told them to bring, without bringing the tool, and try to charge extra for the 30 minutes they spent getting lost on the way. 🤡
