Survey: AI is Splitting Tech Workers in Half
lennysan · x · 2026-07-07
Lenny's large-scale annual survey of tech professionals reveals an industry split: about half feel "amplified" by AI—more capable, confident, and excited than ever before. The other half feel their value threatened, uncertain if they still have a place.
Falling on one side of this divide predicts job satisfaction and future expectations. The tone continues last year's "exhausted but optimistic" sentiment, forming an empirical observation of AI's impact on employment.
