SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “My entire career is one prompt away from irrelevance”, including the private rule underneath it: The private rule is: my career's worth equals the artifacts I produce, so anything that can produce similar artifacts faster has already replaced all of me — not just the task in front of me, but the whole trajectory, retroactively.
QUIET
“My entire career is one prompt away from irrelevance” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “A launch thread describes a product, not my career. Those are different sizes of claim.”
PRESENT
“My entire career is one prompt away from irrelevance” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “The visible output was never the whole job. The invisible calls around it don't show up in a demo.”
ACTIVE
“My entire career is one prompt away from irrelevance” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Privately list three decisions from your last month that required knowing your specific team, history, or constraints — not general knowledge a prompt could supply.
DOMINANT
Right now, “My entire career is one prompt away from irrelevance” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Privately list three decisions from your last month that required knowing your specific team, history, or constraints — not general knowledge a prompt could supply.
