📊 Data from 7K devs (the State of Web Dev AI survey): in 2025, most people disagreed that AI tools threaten their job. This year the chart flipped: most agree. Sacha Greif, creator of the State of JS survey, doesn't read the numbers to you - he tells you what they cost.
Your job may be safe and still disappear. Your skills may fade while your output goes up. And the tool getting cheaper every year just stopped getting cheaper.
What's inside:
🔹 Every AI pain point got smaller this year. Two didn't
🔹 AI doesn't need to do your job. Someone just needs to think it can
🔹 Where this ends: code stops being the thing you write
🎙️ Sacha Greif is the creator of the State of JS survey - the annual dataset the JavaScript ecosystem measures itself against. He also runs the State of Web Dev AI survey, whose second edition collected responses from 7,000+ developers, and maintains the open-source survey platform behind both at Devographics.
