From now on there are only 4 jobs
There's a very real possibility that the only jobs in tech companies are going to be:
- product eng/vibe coder/PM/slop cannon: self explanatory. this is the high velocity, high tool use generalist. they are obviously not restricted to product and eng roles. Anyone can be commercial and product minded.
- security/SRE/infra: we're going to be producing so much STUFF across every org that there's going to need to be really really good people stitching it together, making it stable, secure, and robust.
- the face (originally "hot people"): You will find them in roles ranging from sales, to people, to CX. There will always be an important place for those who present an easy UX to the world and are pleasant to be around. Remember, there are many ways to be hot.
- grown ups: sometimes you need an adult in the room to just say "hey, come on." They are effectively a much needed governor on an otherwise accelerating organization. You will find them across roles but there are obvious places like legal and finance. They are basically the non technical equivalents of #2 and might even be able to be bucketed with that.
the latent traits have always cut across job titles and orgs.
