Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · How tech workers actually feel about AI in 2026 | Annual AI sentiment survey (Noam Segal) · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

Super.

Sorry for the bad news.

Yeah.

And just to put a couple of statistical terms on this to clarify how big the effect is.

In tech, we are somewhat obsessed with the notion of statistical significance.

But the thing about statistical significance is that if you have a large enough sample, you can

sort of reach that type of significance, regardless of how much the effect matters practically.

A better way to look at things is using an effect size measure like Cohen's d in this case.

And what effect size tells you is practically how much does this thing matter.

So for example, last year, a couple of the largest effects we saw were number one, your manager.

Who your manager is and how effective they are matters a ton to how much you're enjoying your job and how optimistic you are and how burnt out you are or not.

And we'll see some of that later on.

And the second large effect we found was the founder happiness effect.

Founders, at least people who are currently founders and in their journey of running a startup, are incredibly happy, probably because they have a lot of agency and autonomy relatively to the typical employee experience.

This finding, this insight around the impact of AI on your identity and on every single other variable around your job is about three times as large as those other effects.

So this technology, this era that we're in is having an outlier level, outsized impact on how people are feeling about work more so than anything else we've seen.

Yeah.

So we'll dive into some of these things in a little more depth later on.

But just to put it all together, what you're looking at here is the AI identity stance and then a breakdown by your AI identity around career optimism,

burnout, layoff worry, and an interesting one for me, and we'll talk about this further, would you recommend your role to someone coming into the industry now?
