Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
I think somewhere along the line we forgot what our jobs are actually supposed to be. If you're new here, I talk about the human side of AI. The job of a programmer was never to write code, it was to build software that solves real problems. The job of a product manager was never to write Jira tickets and produce endless documentations and artifacts and PowerPoint. It was to understand and solve for human needs. Somewhere along the line we started treating tasks as the actual job. And we confused creating artifacts with act doing actual work that solves real problems. I feel like AI is now forcing a reset and for us to consider what our job is actually supposed to be. If AI is the one doing most of the grunt work, then a lot of our jobs start to look a lot more like leadership roles. That means bringing together teams of AI and human workers and moving them towards a shared goal or outcome. So our job is no longer doing tasks, it's driving towards outcomes. But in many ways, that's what the job has always been. It's just that we got lost somewhere along the way.
