Tech workers fear skill obsolescence as one dev claims 100x output with AI

A viral observation: technical people are sad because they fear their skills are becoming useless, while non-technical people desperately wish they were more technical to use agents better.
DeryaTR shares his own experience: in technical areas he now achieves 100x output in the same period with AI, and in non-technical areas he can learn any technical field 10x faster and then produce 10x faster relative to technical people. "Strange," he notes.
