Fast forward a few years. Now we're into the pandemic. I'm living here in Canada. I'm sitting like most of us were in our own little home office. I'm going through things like LinkedIn learning in other places. And I'm noticing connectivity between, hey, what have I learned?

how to be better at doing online presentation and whatnot from the short course, then I can use the skills that I learned as a lecturer to maybe coach it in-house in my company. So everybody will be better at sitting in virtual meetings. Hey, there's this new performance management tool online because we're all living remotely, so we're worried about efficiency and all of those kind of things.

How could I learn the technology behind it to maybe adapt it so we can add it to the practices we have in comp that are still a little bit traditional? Paper, baby. Building and building and building. So what happened was, I'm not entirely sure that stacking is the right word. I think it's more like staircase.

And you've got overlapped half or a little bit more, but then you branch off into new areas. But you're constantly building it up. And now to round off my comment, now I'm learning for the last two years generative AI and the blurred large language model development. I've learned prompt engineering, all those kind of things.

But now that's actually connecting back in like almost reverse skills tracking with me. clear thought and clear writing. If you're not a good writer and you're not good at generating good writing, good step-by-step way to do something to build the proper prompt, it can't do what you want. It doesn't deliver what you would like.

And so you'll spend extra time tweaking it and tailoring stuff to finally get to what you would like. But if you were good at writing, which comes from spending a lot of time in literature, And you're good at research, which helps you figure out the steps to be able to get the result you'd like.

Combining those and learning how and understanding how a generative AI in particular and prompt engineering, the skill that you need to do it, you're stacking those or you're staircasing all of those. And you're going to be able to generate way better results in generative AI and other things.

And more importantly, even with people being able to guide them through a process, you're going to get the results faster, which is better for everyone. Hopefully that's not a too roundabout way to get there.

But I think, yeah, now lifelong learning is an outdated concept and then it lacks focus for some people where the skill stacking is a little more concentrated and it will help you really build the keys. But again, it's not going to be specific in an area, but you can apply it across

swath of area and it'll really help you advance your career and event whatever you want to do to be a standout kind of person.
