Not him but....Having a hypercapitalist ultraliberal and globalist worldview that exacerbates wealth inequalities and encourages cutting corners to cut of costs here and there is not the definition of sane.
Countries that have had semi-protectionist policies and tried to pull in or protect industry trough policy have done well at times.
This includes jobs people now describe as shit.
Why wouldn't I want those to exist locally and pay well?
I'm seeing this in some teams I am aware of. It is usually a 3-4 people team working very closely. They're not using gas-town or such, but are typically creating abstraction after abstraction for reviews and assimilating changes (usually with a claude 20x account). They are human in the loop until the system stabilizes and needs no further AI.
It was like science fiction becoming aware of this pattern, but as the OP says, this is indeed happening. Going to change the shape of tech careers for sure. my 2c.
BTW the skill to develop to direct your career towards this: build deep understanding of one part of a domain, develop thinking in abstractions and systems, follow TDD in all agentic dev (converts probabilistic to deterministic).
At this point its much more polite to write badly than use an LLM to rewrite your content. The form tells me you do not care to interact with me in a genuine way.
I am going to ignore the form comments -- I guess I am not sure how I feel about being called an LLM (good or bad ?), not sure only time will tell. If LLMs turn out to be the turd of the universe -- bad or maybe good ?

You've to go into founder mode - solve problems that exist for customers you've already discovered, rather than build something and expect magical "marketing" to find customers. The latter was previously a weak strategy, and is completely gone with the AI era. No alternative to working very closely with customers.
Honestly, I'm still not quite seeing how this fits into marketing. I get that we're focusing on our current customers, but how do we actually bring in new ones?
No magic pill: you can't work backwards. Pivot away from current idea if it's not getting word of mouth or any other traction, and for the next idea start with finding problems for people in your network that they will pay for.
