What I found was pretty brutal. Companies asking for 4 years of agentic AI experience… pardon?
Then it hit me.
Oh they are all making shit up now and have no bar that anyone can hit because they are believing in the hype without understanding the fundamentals.
GREAT. Even as I climb the AI-Native ranks, I apparently am unqualified for any AI-Native job.
In my workplace, we're going to decline to renew some software subscriptions because a non-programmer vibe-coded their replacement in a week.
The impacts are here, they're just not evenly distributed yet.

General agents (OpenClaw, Anthropic Copilot, ChatGPT "Work") started working even later than that.
This category of software may have a much more meaningful impact on work than the mostly-chat systems we were using from 2022-2025.
Studies that mainly focus on 2022 to end of 2025 might be missing out on a material uptick in capabilities.

Maybe the future will change that for very specific things, but I think people should be learning and preparing for that, which isn’t any different than what everyone has been told in every job market since the start of the Industrial Revolution.
