Careers

I keep arguing that AI is going to shrink IT departments hard — fewer coders, fewer business analysts, fewer scrum masters, fewer QA testers. That part is real, and I won't dress it up. But there's one genuinely new role emerging in the rubble: the person who takes a freshly AI-built feature, plays with it, and imagines the version that's actually better. There will be nowhere near enough of these seats to replace what's lost, the skillset barely overlaps with the jobs disappearing, and the responsibility is enormous.
