The jobs are going to change.
I mean, this is sort of the obvious thing, and this always happens.
The jobs are going to change.
You know, by the way, so there's like a nascent concept that is actually playing out.
I'm seeing it a bunch of the early leading edge companies in the Valley, which is they're kind of circling around a job title loosely called builder or something like it.
And basically the idea is that you have these separate jobs in the past of programmer, product manager and designer.
And I've been describing what's happening in the Valley companies as sort of this three-way Mexican standoff where the programmers think that they don't need the product managers and the designers anymore because they can have AI do that.
And then each of the other two doesn't think they need the other two either.
And what I've been predicting is like they're all correct.
You know, the product manager can generate code and design now.
And, you know, so each of them can do the job of all three.
And so the idea is the job's changed.
Now the job is builder.
And you might come into the builder, you might get on the builder track by coming out of coding or product management or design or maybe even something else, customer service or whatever.
But you then become responsible for building complete products.
And again, you have this kind of, you know, you're super empowered by the AI that can help fill in all the things that are not directly in your background.
Yeah.
And so, like, I think it's entirely possible that we're sitting here in 10 years, you know, in 20 years or whatever, and like, you know, the job of coder is gone, but you have this just, you know, extraordinary number of builders running around.
And again, by the way, this is the historical pattern, right?
And so, I think our partner, David George, did a post on this this week, but I forget the exact numbers, but it's, you know, some giant percentage of the jobs that existed in, you know, call it 1940 were like gone by 1970, right?
