Most people have the wrong default assumption for what happens with the need for technical skills in a world of AI agents. The default view is that AI makes most of the skills obsolete. When in fact, the leverage just went up massively on being good at your particular craft, starting first with software engineering. It’s far better to have a deep understanding of the hardest part of what you’re trying to do in a task, because you will be able to successfully direct agents to do most of the other rote, undifferentiated work for you. Writing code is just one component of the job of building software or automating something. There are vastly more steps required for building the right thing, getting it into a production state, and keeping it running. Now coding agents mean the ratio of time you can spend on the more strategic parts vs. less strategic goes up massively. This pattern will soon be true of most other fields of knowledge work as well. It’s actually the best time ever to be an expert, assuming you’re adopting the tools.
