This is a great framework for self-development, but I wonder if the Job vs. Gym analogy is a bit premature. There seems to be a level of Silicon Valley optimism here that assumes AI already surpasses human capability in these creative areas. From my perspective, AI only outperforms in areas where the human hasn't developed a real craft. Is it possible that the current hype is causing us to undervalue the unique quality of human-only output?


How many senior developers do you need to tell you that they've been vastly surpassed (in coding) by AI before you believe them? The creator of Claude Code just said he's not opened an IDE in a while. He was a principal engineer.

And why would you think this would be the only place that'll happen?

I agree there are things they can still do better than AI, but coding isn't one of them.


I believe that they believe it, and little else.
