Identifies signs indicating a risk of obsolescence due to AI, paired with ideal advice:
- Subscriptions: No paid AI subscriptions. Advice: Pay for many to discover which tools actually make you better.
- Attitude: Hating AI or tech progress. Advice: Stay ridiculously curious about trends and align yourself with them.
- Skills: Still proudly calling yourself "non-technical". Advice: Learn enough tech to 10x your work speed.
- Practice: Haven't attended a hackathon since the AI boom. Advice: Build enough to get some wins.
You don't need to become an AI engineer, but refusing to become AI-native is a tough position.
