So I think we have to think about new work that gets done, which will be meta-cognition, meta-work.

That is going to have wages, and we have to be concrete about that.

Yeah, so I think...

In the early 80s, if someone had come to us and said, hey, we're going to have 3.5 billion people in the world who are all going to be typists, we would have said, why does the world need 3.5 billion typists?

Except we do.

We all get up in the morning and type, but we're doing quote-unquote information work, knowledge work, and so on.

So that type of change is going to have to happen

And each of them will have a name, and it'll have a wage support.

That reinvention, right?

So a software developer of the past to the software developer of the future may have the similar sort of skills.

But the work they do is different because they're managing a group of 100 agents, 1,000 agents.

In fact, there's a beautiful term one of my colleagues has, which is just like in software development, we already had this concept of test coverage.

One of the new things that we are learning is what I'll call cognitive coverage, right?

So what does a software developer do?

I have a repo full of code that is written by agents.

I am...

cognitively understanding what happened.

And I now need tools for cognitive coverage on what there is built.

That's a job, I think, of a software developer.

And in order to do that, you've got to go to school, you've got to learn computer science and have cognitive coverage.
