The system is replacing you.
At 6 AM, an email goes out—
30,000 people at Oracle… gone.
Not because the company was struggling.
In fact, it was making record profits.
Oracle Corporation isn’t failing.
And Larry Ellison is among the richest people in the world.
Yet—people lost their jobs.
So what really happened?
You were told to code.
You did.
You were told to upskill.
You did.
You were told to learn AI.
You did.
You stayed late.
You delivered.
You adapted.
And then—
You were replaced by the very systems you helped build.
This isn’t about performance.
This is about leverage.
In today’s world, skills are important.
But ownership is power.
Because if you don’t own what you build,
one day it will run without you.
