i'm tempted to soften the message around AI doomerism and say, look! everyone gets more leverage now! if you were 1x you're 10x now! but in the real world technology can displace. amazingly it's still not clear how AI will affect developers/designers/knowledge workers. this lack of resolution is reassuring. it might mean displacement is a myth. or maybe the models really sucked up until literally this month. that's a real possibility. i do know this: if you wanted to hire someone to pentest your server, would you rather hire a designer with AI, or a security researcher with AI? and if you wanted a design that converts, would you want a backend engineer prompting it, or a designer/marketer? one thing is certain: generalists can now rule the world.
