Ask HN: How do you maintain your job security in the AI age?

* Be technically competent. That's just table stakes. You don't need to be world class, but you need to know what you're doing.

* KNOW THE BUSINESS. Suck up domain knowledge like a sponge. Make an effort to find out what's really important and how things work. It's the domain knowledge that ensures you're asking the right questions and working on the RIGHT things. That's the hardest thing to replace, be it by AI or cheaper hires.

* Be easy to work with. Really. That doesn't mean being a doormat or agreeing to every silly request, but it does mean being polite and friendly and someone your coworkers like working with. And for those of us who aren't naturally sociable, look at it as just another skill you have to work on.

By implementing AI into your job yourself, rather than waiting for it to come. If you are the one who is the "prompt engineer" and knows how to integrate AI into the daily tasks of work, you will be at an advantage when positions evolve into more AI type services
