danielrock · x · 2026-10-25
Daniel Rock quotes Anna Economist on how senior economists, once buried in meetings and dependent on research assistants, can now go from idea to analysis alone with tools like Claude. Rock argues this points to a new deal for junior workers: building expertise by doing the verification work their managers don't have time for — "we're all managers now," and potentially a more direct path to seniority.
