Boy howdy, do I relate to this feeling. There's a decent chance that next year might become the first year since I finished university where I'm not doing paid web dev or software dev work. It's been increasingly slim pickings this year.
@baldur - Just piping up to say that you're not alone here. I'm pretty much in the same place with similar questions.
I'm very pro-local models and I'm looking forward to when more of the externalities are priced into the per-token cost, BUT I'm also a lead developer in an area where I have clients sending me their AI-authored code to include in what I'm building for them. (I informed them that since I didn't write it, there's no more warranty on the deliverable, and they're responsible now.)
