Hi, I’m Sarah—an Amazon software engineer in Vancouver—and in this cozy day-in-the-life vlog I’m taking you through a regular workday while answering the big question: is AI (like ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor) coming for software engineering jobs? Honestly, I’m a little worried too, because these tools can write and debug code and they’re already fully integrated into my life. But I also talk about why I think the best move is to lean into what AI can’t easily replicate—soft skills, judgment, and being the person who decides what to build and how it fits into the bigger picture. I also share a bunch of real Amazon-life updates: I referred a friend from UBC and they got an offer (proof that timing and luck matter a lot on the job hunt), my project got rescoped so I’m doing more maintenance/pipeline/package work, and I had my performance review (self + peer feedback mapped to Amazon leadership principles). Plus, I tell you about touring the Tokyo Amazon office—surprisingly international, super English-speaking, and with a cafeteria that honestly beats Vancouver’s (curry ramen for ~700 yen!). And after work, it’s my little 5–9: knitting my orca sweater, getting way too into new hobbies, and plotting my next creative era.
