# Don't you mean extinct?

**[Fabien Sanglard](https://daily.dev/sources/fabiensanglard)** · 9 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Drawing a parallel to Phil Tippett's experience during the CGI revolution in Jurassic Park, this piece reflects on programmer anxiety about AI obsolescence and argues that adaptation is the answer. LLMs are framed as another evolutionary wave in tech, similar to the web boom or mobile-first era. Practical advice covers using AI coding agents effectively while maintaining code quality, writing better commit messages, demanding cleaner PRs, writing more tests, and reducing unnecessary dependencies. Resources like Andrej Karpathy's YouTube channel and Sebastian Raschka's LLM book are recommended. The author also shares personal workflow tips including customizing GEMINI.md/CLAUDE.md files to enforce coding style, and warns about mental fatigue from context-switching across multiple agent-driven projects.
