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?

And they were like ancient history today.

Right.

I mean, the ultimate example of this is, you know, United States 200 years ago, like 99% of the people in the U.S.

were farming.

And today it's like 2%.

And having, you know, grown up in farm country, I can tell you all these people who worry about, you know, job loss and job change would not like to go back and be farmers.

I guarantee that.

And particularly they would not like to go back and be farmers the way people were farming in 1800.

Like they definitely don't want to do that.

And so the new jobs that have been created, of course, are far better jobs.

And that isn't to, you know, understate the level of, you know, kind of stress in individual people's lives as the economy changes.

But in aggregate, the result is evolution towards, you know, towards higher income and sort of more jobs that people are happier to do.

By the way, you can also see all of this playing out in the American economy broadly, which is the American economy is – again, there's this kind of Doomer narrative that has been for a long time that like the American middle class is falling apart.
