The New Differentiator

These days, technical skills are largely compensated for by AI. Every other guy with a Claude Code subscription can build software that previously took weeks and sometimes months to build.

And looking at how markets operate, the more the supply of a certain skill, the less economically valuable it becomes.

So it's clear at this point that your coding skills are not going to be the primary differentiator for here on.

And amidst all of this, there is one question you should be asking yourself: If AI will be doing all the technical work, what value do you as an individual actually add to the economy?

And that's an interesting question, coz it can fundamentally shift the focus of work for many of you.

What I personally see going forward is that your ability to communicate with AI and to get things done (outcomes) is going to be the primary differentiator.

The focus will shift from just building to orchestration and getting actual results.

And the old skills that you have built will only help in the process.

Just wanted to put those thoughts out there.

Until next time.
