In the 1920s, every bowling alley hired young boys to reset the pins and return balls while people were playing.
Bowling was becoming incredibly order for people to keep playing be down end the lane risking fingers to set the pins up balls flowing. those 'pin a nice buck.
But in 1941 a man by name Gottfried) Schmidt invented the mechanical pinsetter most bowling alleys fully setup.
Bowling UX out of a job.
That’s I think any time I hear someone say "AI prompt engineers will make +$100k".
Technology has a habit of abstracting away complexity to make people's lives easier.
There’s a golden window to make a buck before improved UX makes it obsolete.
I’ve been saying the same thing about coding for a while. Coders will eventually bifurcate into mechanics vs. rocket scientists.
Improved consumer UX (ChatGPT and no-code tools) will abstract away the middle layer.
You’ll just have 10x engineers and general handymen.
You'll still need people with deep subject knowledge and the creativity to push the boundaries of what's considered possible.
You'll also need people who can whack together small projects for anyone who isn't very handy.
Two ways:
- Accumulate deep knowledge (know what's happening under the hood).
- Become a master problem-solver (know how to creatively push boundaries to create unique outcomes).
