There's more than one guy selling hot dogs on the beach. Not joking. This is the most important realization I ever had.

Anyway, on AI, lots of people just don't want to do all the QA and interaction to build the software. And those people are willing to pay to not have to.

Design custom hot dogs (software). That's my advice. It's working very well for me. People hire me for my in depth experience in certain fields (logistics, manufacturing, database stuff generally, chemistry). That they can spend time to learn and discuss it with an LLM doesn't change that one bit. I'm earning more than ever.

People use my software because it's a little cheaper or a little better than some other similar software.

There's room for everyone. You don't need to be the only one in your industry.

Expand the breadth of expertise you can offer. Just as has always been the case, people will rather pay you for it than learn it themselves.
