Increasingly this will be the new job description for a lot of roles, not just coding. We’re clearly moving from a world where agents help us do our work incrementally better or faster, to us helping agents do their work.
This turns everyone in one of these positions to that of a manager of a team of agents, instead of an individual contributor with just some added leverage from AI. The biggest areas of impact will be information-heavy jobs, like coding, cybersecurity, legal work, biotech, engineering, and many other fields.
And as a result, in these jobs your leverage will begin to be decoupled from the normal ratio of hours spent working to output generated. For essentially the history of knowledge work the main variable you had to play with was hours of work done (assuming fixed level talent/coordination/strategy).
Now we’ve separated these variables because agents can parallelize work for us, to in theory execute as much as we need to pull off whatever goal we’re trying to accomplish. The people and organizations that discover this sooner, and orient their operations around it, will see compounding gains in their workflows.

Amazing chart from Adam Farrar of Bloomberg @economics.
Assuming the Binance hack was done by the North Koreans, as alleged by @trmlabs, then the country just captured 75% of its total 2025 revenue in the span of just 20 minutes

Funding rounds aren't milestones. It shouldn't be your goal to raise a series A. It should be your goal not to need to.

Walter Isaacson asks Peter Thiel what humans can uniquely do in the AI era.
Thiel: "We're very relational… these relational dimensions will become more important."
When knowledge is worth $0, the only career skills that matter:
- networking / social calibration
- persuasion (sales)
- curiosity (harnessing AI)
- taste (curation)
- storytelling
- grit
- golfing with clients (or equivalent)
We'll get so sick of a fake world that we'll go back to doing business like it's the 1800s. A handshake at the local saloon.

We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.
