MTS-ification is flattening most categories of tech work It's probably the most interesting and import idea to absorb and study to understand the future dynamics of the job market, and how to take advantage of them TLDR is that titles used to describe "what we do", post-AI they describe "what we own". Depth is rentable, so passing work around costs more than doing the work itself. AI can fill in the "average" so what’s left to stand out is a combination of agency, judgement, and spike: the thing(s) you do better than almost anyone. Invest in and become fluent with as many relevant AI tools (and techniques) as possible, be able to explain simply and clearly how you can use them to expand your capacity and span adjacent specialties complementing your main. Emerging categories to position for (beyond MTS): Growth staff (me): marketing / sales / partnerships / community / devrel Operations staff: finance / people / legal ops / internal tools Customer staff: support, customer success, account management, solutions engineering, implementation In interviews and on resumes 1. Lead with your "spike", have ultra-crisp stories where it was the reason behind a great success 2. Have ultra-crisp stories exemplifying agency and good judgement that have driven some outcome end to end and the impact 3. Say “I,” not “we,” and be ready to describe exact details There are big changes and things are being shaken up, with all disruption though there are always tons of opportunities, the people who move quickly and get in front of them the fastest will have the most upside. There are SO many new companies with crazy growth, pre-unicorns and new unicorns hiring like crazy, you want to be part of a company that will 10x or 100x over the next 10 years, not one that is about to have to reshape everything because they themselves are being disrupted.
