Your comment is hyperbolic fear mongering dressed up in a cutesie story.

Our industry is being disrupted by AI. What industry in history has not been disrupted by technological progression? It's called life. And those that can adapt to life changing will continue to thrive. And those who can't will get left behind. There is no wholesale turkey slaughter.

If you read the grand parent, they seem to be denying a disruption is taking place industry wide. The adage was used to illustrate how complacency is blinded by the very conditions that enable it, and while this is unfalsifiable and not very conducive to discussion, "fear mongering" is a bit rich to levy.

Further:

> Our industry is being disrupted by AI... No wholesale turkey slaughter.

Is an entirely different position than the GP who is essentially betting on AI producing more jobs for hackers, which surely won't be so simple.

I'm not clear on the point you're trying to make. My comment was in response to dugidugout's analogy.

If I understand their analogy correctly, developers are the well fed turkeys and one Thanksgiving day, we're all getting slaughtered.

That is not hyperbole and fear mongering to you?
