We're now in a world that priorities the outcome even more.
The amount of work we put in, literally doesn't count if the outcome isn't achieved (it's same 50 years ago and even more now)
@waitin4agi_ explains this clearly in this video
referred my junior in 1st year to a company
he went through all rounds of interviews like everyone else, vs many experienced people
helped him with interview prep and what to study (aka what I studied last year) throughout the last year
he cleared all rounds and has been selected as an intern there!
TG Gowda sir helped me like this last year and when I got my internship at AI4Bharat under Raj sir, he told me to pay him back by paying it forward to someone else
I've done it today :)
I feel that our differentiators became the challenging part in the job market after the release of GPT5
Because now we all have powerful in our hand for free that can help us build anything
