AI can't replace so-called "soft skills" either. They are the skills that make us human and super effective. I hate to say it, but just slingin' code is risky for the long term. Getting real good at communicating, planning and optimising will set you apart.

In the age of AI, short form video and hot takes, the competitive advantage of the future is the ability to go deep, read the docs, build something new, learn hard things that take time.

AI helped me with soft skills a lot actually, writing, summarising and giving ideas when I’m really stuck has been really refreshing. Mostly, writing was the best soft skill AI helps me with 🤔

That's very interesting to hear. I've found it the exact opposite but I'm glad you've actually found a use for AI tbh

yes! especially for reviews me: i worry if i share wip, people will think its poopoo chatgpt: one area I’m working on is building the confidence to share my work early, even if it doesn’t fully reflect my current abilities, as I recognize the value of showcasing progress and learning from feedback

i then take that tone it down 4 notches so it sounds at least a little like me

I did an experiment once by getting it to read a load of my writing and produce something like it and the closest it got was me if I'd suddenly turned american and perky 😅
