India’s biggest mistake would be trying to build a “cheaper ChatGPT clone”.
India’s biggest opportunity is building the AI layer for 1.4 billion people who don’t live like Silicon Valley users.
I think AI will replace tech jobs in the below order:
UI/UX designers
Frontend engineers
Scrum leads
Backend engineers
Analyst/Entry level engineers of any sort
Architects
SREs
CTOs
I don't get the hype around CLI coding tools like Claude Code.
Human-computer interaction evolved past the terminal 30 years ago for a reason. UIs won.
Why are we regressing?
SpaceX just acquired Cursor for $60B
> be Cursor
> 4 MIT students start a side project in 2022
> build the AI coding tool developers love
> hit a $10B valuation
> decide copilots aren’t enough
> move into models
> need massive compute to compete with OpenAI, Anthropic & Google
> meanwhile xAI is losing the coding race
> realizes catching up could take years
> skips the line
> buys Cursor for $60B
> Cursor gets compute
> xAI gets the coding leader
> founders become multi-billionaires
Serious question:
If AI can create tickets, estimate effort, summarize progress, generate reports, and answer project status questions 24/7…
Why are companies still hiring Scrum Leads?
We removed manual testers when automation became better.
We removed data entry jobs when software became better.
Why should process management be different?
Humans aren’t the bottleneck anymore.
Process is.
