Great hook, but the implementation could have been better. Wikipedia is the perfect thing to explore graph in. The current visualization isn't really using this.

In the new world, normalised interviews are going away, because business value is not normalized. This means that domain based interviewing and signals are going to make a comeback.

It would make sense to build your career in a single domain, since your built up expertize will transfer to other companies within that domain.

Far fewer switches will happen for seniors across domains.

A friend of mine put this to me: Ai can do everything needed for a business currently, outside of anticipating future business needs constantly.

Which means the job market will currently benefit those with this skill. Traditionally what EMs/PMs,leaders would do.

I'm not sure where this will land, but the above rings true - Juniors are most hurt right now because they've never been in the business of figuring out future needs. Those few that can, are thriving in this world.

I wonder if others see the workplace around them aligning or contrary to this.

It's called residency. They work as trainees and build up the initial experience under someone.

In the practice professions (Doc, Law, accounts, even "blue collar" ones ) - experience is much more indicative of skill than test scores.

So as a thumb, you want to ideally go to the brain surgeon who's done that surgery the most.

This is a good point.

Zoho is a classics example of picking students at age 16/17, when they'd typically join a UG course, and instead train them on the job.

Some of the large tech service companies change incentives by tying a training fee ("bond") which is tied to some tenure (1-2 years). Departing before this would mean giving this back - which broadly incentives the planned tenure.

Other companies (musigma is an example) present pay as a 4 year package (10X), which is split 1/2/3/4X across 4 years.

I think the challenges US universities/companies are today facing is something India has needed for a couple decades now. I would not be surprised if many of these are tried in the US.

If you do plan - reach out to me, it's something I've wanted to expand into (currently run UG curriculums).

Hyperbole much? If you are serious, then what cohort of people are dying more per million, than before 2025?

Braun is done away as in someone was considered "better"/"valued more" because they were stronger, similar to how intelligence until recently was/currently is.

Very well written, IMO. Put me in a contemplative mood. For eg: Braun was done away with, first by civilization, then completely by the industrial revolution. Now brain has started the journey.

I guess philosophy, spiruality, religion and theology will be what the curious mind will set out to conquer next on the journey to self-actualization.

What's with the very distracting cursors of others?

Storytold apps are a gift, and are setting the precedent for AI apps. Everyone was wondering about the relevance of open source in post AI era, and here we have it: a magnitude more ambitious ecosystem.

While Bun proved at-scale rewrite, these are proving huge at-scale re-dos of the entire software ecosystem.

I suspect 24 months from now the landscape of daily software is going to be vastly changed.

This is an incorrect understanding of machine learning data-structrues.

Has anyone done counterstrike clone in the browser? have friends join in and throw frag grenades. The open map ecosystem provides great free textures/artwork already.

If someone is looking for the next srp - might I suggest CS 1.6? it should run find one any modern browser.
