The premise · what you bring
You have a rare skill set
1You scope a thing
2You model data
3You design a screen people can use
4You ship, then support it
The code was the part you were missing. That part is now cheap.
New approach
How to work now
•Prompt it into existence
•Be fearless
•Ask the AI for help
•Ask a human for help
•Always be learning
