Why AI Won't Kill Your Job — But It Might Kill Your Excuses
After months documenting AI's reality-bending evolution, product leader-turned-coach Frank Harris explores the grief nobody's discussing: watching your professional identity dissolve while your career continues. From the intoxicating promise of AI superpowers to the paralysis when decades of expertise become a commodity overnight—including his own five-month freeze updating LinkedIn after leaving Slack. This isn't another "AI tools for you" talk. It's about navigating the emotional transformation that determines whether AI becomes your tragedy or your liberation. Because when everyone can build, code, and create, the only differentiator left is courage
