And, you know, I thought it would be like, oh, someone who's got this degree or is well-versed in this technology stack.

He's like, well, the best engineer I know is my dad.

And of course this was before tech in that case.

And he's like, and my dad's definition is still my favorite, which is an engineer is someone who obsoletes themselves from everything they do.

That's the definition of a great engineer.

And I've taken that to every job that I've worked at.

And it's funny because you'll run into people that are like, I don't know, I don't want to obsolete myself.

That's my job.

And I was like, ah, I think if I obsolete, there'll be a better job for me.

What AI has done is turn that, you know, has basically put an APOC on that.

If you can, you can obsolete by just asking the AIs to do this for you.

So why I'm saying that is my stack is what can I do to obsolete anything and everything I do on a daily basis.

Well, and I agree with you.

And then I think the question is like, what skill do you have to have?

Like for a while I was like, oh, that's a systems engineering skill because you need to be able to like train, you know, the AIs to go after things.

But I'm watching my wife and how she works and she's not an engineer by any means.

And she's getting tons of value.

You don't even need to be an engineer.

You just have to be opinionated on what you want to see.

And then the moment that you get it, it's when the light bulb turns on when it wasn't working before.
