The grief, loneliness, and burnout sweeping through the tech industry right now | from Lenny's Podcast

Molly Graham returns to discuss how AI is reshaping careers and the emotional toll on tech workers. She revisits her famous 'give away your Legos' advice and explains why it no longer holds in a world where AI can take on many tasks. The conversation covers the grief, loneliness, and burnout now pervasive in the industry, why delegating to AI differs from delegating to humans, and why the fear narrative around AI job displacement may be overblown. Graham also shares which professional 'Legos' should never be handed to AI and what the most effective managers are doing right now to lead through this shift.
