8/ Your value is not in pretending AI didn't help.
It's in knowing how to use it, check it, improve it — and shape its output for the real world.
Automate what you can. Watch what remains. Build your role around that.

1/ Your job isn't disappearing. But your role inside it is changing.
AI is flooding the market with knowledge and reasoning. The question is no longer "can I think through this?" but "what do I do that AI still can't?"
Here's how I'm thinking about it:
7/ Warning: AI can push you toward burnout.
When all the routine tasks disappear, all that remains is the hardest cognitive work — reviewing, deciding, coordinating, holding context.
The bottleneck shifts from production to judgment. Protect your thinking time accordingly.
7/ The goal isn't guilt or passivity. It's clarity.
Enough recognition of luck to stay humble. Enough recognition of choice to stay responsible.

6/ Visibility is not worth.
The internet rewards timing, format, and algorithms — not quality. Serious work disappears every day while shallow content spreads everywhere.
We see who won, but we rarely see the thousands who were equally capable but less lucky.
Lots of companies are now building primitives for an economy where AI agents are the primary users instead of humans.
They're betting on an economy of AI coworkers.
1. AgentMail (@agentmail): so agents can have email accounts
2. AgentPhone (@tryagentphone): so agents can have phone numbers
3. Kapso (@andresmatte): so agents can have WhatsApp phone numbers
4. Daytona (@daytonaio) / E2B (@e2b): so agents can have their own computers
5. Browserbase (@browserbase) / Browser Use (@browser_use) / Hyperbrowser (@hyperbrowser): so agents can use web browsers
6. Firecrawl (@firecrawl): so agents can crawl the web without a browser
7. Mem0 (@mem0ai): so agents can remember things
8. Kite (@GoKiteAI) / Sponge (@PayspongeLabs) : so agents can pay for things.
9. Composio (@composio): so agents can use your SaaS tools
10. Orthogonal (@orthogonal_sh) so agents can access APIs easily
11. ElevenLabs (@ElevenLabs) / Vapi (@Vapi_AI) so agents can have a voice
12. Sixtyfour (@sixtyfourai) so agents can search for people and companies.
13. Exa (@ExaAILabs): so agents can search the web (Google doesn’t work for agents)
If you stitch all of these together, you get a digital coworker that looks more human than AI.
Loved this moment from the @lennysan x @pmarca chat (1:06:32) on specialization: the scarce skill isn’t depth, it’s range + judgment. We need Antenna-shaped to catch signals across domains, then use AI for depth.

DeepSeek R1 is *the* best model available right now. It's at the level of o1, but you can use it for free, and it's much faster.
A huge leap forward that nobody saw coming. No wonder so many people are throwing tantrums online trying to discredit the Chinese students who built this.
You can use DeepSeek in Visual Studio Code right now:
1. Install the Qodo Gen AI extension
2. Select DeepSeek R1 from their list of models
The Qodo team is hosting DeepSeek on their servers, so none of your data will go to China.
I've been building a Tetris game using DeepSeek, and this is the most impressive model I've seen so far.
