  The shift from being a &apos;doer&apos; to a &apos;director&apos; is the most powerful mindset change in this era. AI is automating the execution, but it can&apos;t automate human taste and vision.

  What I found most useful wasn’t actually the tier list itself, but the way each skill was evaluated. Looking at barrier of entry, how defensible it is against AI, and whether people are truly willing to pay for it feels like a much better way to think about learning new skills than just asking what’s popular right now. Those rankings will probably keep changing as AI evolves, but that way of thinking seems much more durable.<br><br>The skill I’d probably spend the most time developing is learning how to work with AI to build real products and solve meaningful problems. I also think skills like communication, judgment, customer understanding, and being able to direct AI well are only going to become more valuable over time. AI keeps getting better at execution, but choosing the right problem and giving it the right direction still feels like the part that matters most.

  Following your videos and learning about notebook LM from you over a year ago. I learned cybersecurity and earned 2 cybersecurity certifications and passed on my first try using AI to teach me. I also use Google Chrome browser Gemini for to explain lab walkthroughs when I have a hard time understanding something. It has accelerated my learning process which keeps me motivated and it&apos;s a rewarding skill to learn.

  Everyone wants money but no one wants to talk about the real enemy. No discipline. No self-control. Endless scrolling, cheap dopamine, wasted days. I lived there. Comfortably stuck. Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller was the first thing that made me realize I wasn’t blocked by life, I was hiding from it.

  In this new era, many skills are becoming valuable at once, and you can build them faster than ever. Life is changing quickly, and I’ve seen this firsthand.<br><br>I started as an IT engineer, became a CTO in international startups, then built a fashion brand from production to sales, moving early into digital channels like remote sales and e-marketplaces.<br><br>Today, I run company’s ops, accounting, finance, sales, legal, marketing, and content, while also working on coding and science projects using agents in one environment. I’ve built an AI harness system like an operating system - that manages projects and runs virtual employees. AI builds AI in real time.<br><br>The downside is that you are still the main operator. It requires constant attention, judgment, and high-level decisions, which can be draining. Managing time and focus becomes critical.<br><br>I believe this is a game changer. However, only a small percentage of people can fully use these AI capabilities today. We are still early, and the real challenge is not access to AI, but knowing how to combine skills and use it effectively.

  Self teaching and doing are the S tier skills! Things move so fast in the AI Era, but being hungry to continuously LEARN the newest in demand skills and DO things with them that solve problems/pain is one of the most defensible skills there is
