That's absolutely heartbreaking.
In the old days, we would have a team, that would compete, as a team, against other corporations. Our team would stick together, work together, and, quite often, function as a unit; leveraging each others' strengths, and compensating for each others' weaknesses.
Nowadays, we look at our team members as "the competition." In fact, we may actually be making plans to move to the other team.
But I have written programs in C, that were still in use, 25 years later. I have written programs in PHP, that were still (are still) in use, 15 years later.
There'll always be room for the classics.
That said, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what I can do with the new AI stuff.
