There are many ways to be hot.

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.
