It’s not something I worry about.

What I, and many of my peers, excel at is taking vague inputs from end users and putting them into actionable specs. Often times this requires considerable education of the end user.

AI might be able to suggest best practices, but getting someone from malformed ideas into an actionable path forward is a very human thing.

Sure, tech-savvy lucid thinking clients with time on their hands might not need my services any more at some point, but… yeah… that’s not my client base.

I get paid to solve business problems. Everything I’ve done in the past could have theoretically been done by my customers, but it wasn’t. AI removes a small amount of the friction for a small portion of the market, but that’s just not a market-wide phenomenon.

“Super smart, super savvy, highly-motivated, and prefer to spend time instead of money” does not describe most business owners.

That’s just my 2 cents…
