Oh, I got to go get that PhD in writing. Or I need to go in this thing that I've been invested in for a long time and I enjoy reading about and it is a form of learning. Doesn't need to be something that I'm going to incorporate into my work life. And I purposely keep it separate.

And that's the same thing of the musical instrument that happened to be gathered in bust, unfortunately, in the back of my room. Those are also skills that I'm learning throughout my life just for my own enjoyment. And I'm totally with you on the law of the instrument, right? If everything, if you've got a hammer and you're good at it, then everything will look like a needle.

I sit on a number of groups where we support startups and tech founders and entrepreneurs. And the drive to just leap to the solution because I think I can sell a widget to somebody rather than understanding to your point, like, is this actually a problem or is this set over something else? It just drives me nuts.

And so we're just going to end up with now the toolkit is going to have 7,000 tools, 6,800 of which I don't know how to use, and 50 that are actually useful for me to figure out any kind of a dilemma that I'm referring to. I think, yeah, I think you've done a good job of reminding me that Maybe the lifelong learning thing should be just for life.

And the skill stacking should be where we focus on potentially getting the right kind of multi-skilled person who, to your point, doesn't just look down and build a tool, but is able to interact with others, is able to be empathetic, show emotional intelligence, all those kind of things.

And I think maybe sometimes get sharp to the side over the let's build the technical experience and skill ourselves up with now I know not just C++, but I also know all of these other JavaScript and other kind of software so I can build my own AI model. Let's go, right?

That's a fantastic and a fascinating topic. I'm starting now because I'm not a very quiet person often to my detriment, but I'm starting now to get people asking, Hey, let's see, you're doing this in particularly generative AI. I am not a person. I don't build these things. I don't know the computer science behind it. I'm purely a practitioner of the tools.

I get people asking a lot, hey, could you do a short little LinkedIn learning course for 30 minutes on the top 10 degenerative AI tools or here's what you can do this. I'm all for it. I think it's a good idea. But what I often find too is the people that are asking me or those that are very early on in their technical journey of learning. So they're maybe late adopters, let's call them.

They just want a silver bullet. They want, oh, what's the one tool I can use that can do everything? And I have to constantly pull back and I have to remind them all, AI is like anything else. It's going to be a combination of tools. It's going to be interdisciplinary.

So you're going to need not just an understanding of the AI tools and the skills that are required to use those tools, but you're going to need to know, you're going to need to understand strategy, how big the development skills were. You're going to need to know how human resources, the team leadership, all these kind of things.
