AI eliminated the execution ladder. The new path from junior to operator runs through evaluation, not tasks. A personal take from someone whose son is about to find out.
Nice food for thought! You mentioned that, “The fact that everyone will be able to code doesn’t mean everyone will build great products.” and I am thinking that it’s really easy now to drown in this huge amount of products and apps. Some of them could be useful, but no one will know about them because now everyone positions themselves as an expert and produces a lot of non-useful things.
My question is: how do you find the right product among such a huge number of apps and tools? How do you recognize something that’s actually worth using?
That's the downside of cheap execution - everything gets flooded. My filter is simple: don't browse tools, follow people with taste. A few high-signal builders who actually use things repeatedly in real work beat infinite scrolling through Product Hunt. And the strongest signal? Tools people complain about but keep using anyway. Pure hype doesn't survive that.
