Recently poked around the job market to see what I qualify for in this day and age. Working as a solo builder in my org I would say that I have done enough in the last 18 months to consider myself “with it”.
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.
