after interviewing people for years, I’ve realized something shifted in the AI era. we used to care about skill sets, shiny resumes, perfect frameworks. now I mostly care about “agency“: - can you figure things out when no one tells you what to do? - can you move fast without waiting for permission? - can you make something happen when everything’s blurry? AI made “knowing things” cheap. what’s rare now is the instinct to act. most people want direction. a few create it.
