TIL my $300 investment in a basic coding course might be the only thing keeping me from being automated out of my admin job.
I saw a demo of an AI that can handle scheduling, data entry, and client emails, which is literally 90% of my daily tasks, so now I'm wondering if anyone else is scrambling to learn new skills before their role gets phased out?

Learning to code was my backup plan too, and it saved my butt, so keep at it.

Isn't it wild how many people have this exact same story now? It feels like coding went from a niche skill to a modern safety net almost overnight. I see so many folks from totally different jobs who learned it as a backup and it completely changed their path. It's pretty cool that this kind of knowledge can be such a solid plan B for so many people.

Wait, did you say overnight? That's the part that gets me. It felt like a slow burn for years, then suddenly everyone and their cousin is doing bootcamps. It's wild how fast it flipped from being a weird computer thing to a normal job skill. Makes you wonder what the next big safety net skill will be in ten years, you know?
