I half thought I could create a “vibe code” class for enterprise, similar to how I got offered Second City improv training for better presentations when I was in corporate Surveying my corporate friends disabused me quickly They either a) don’t know how to maximize usage or b) hide it There is strong sense if they tell they will lose their jobs and don’t want to hasten that process

That’s basically the whole point of job stacking, which is only further enabled by AI. The data engineering job I had in energy was in-office, and I realized that for non-high-performant jobs, I basically would spend maybe ~20 hours doing serious work a week and then just sit there. I played Fortnite or built some of my old Farcaster projects during this time. That’s not to say I was lazy— they really appreciated my work and wanted to hire more people like me in the future, so I basically told them this stuff less directly. Job stacking as a job is like i could probably easily do 2 or maybe 3 $100k jobs at once if they’re remote— if you really push it then up to 8 and just no regard for being let go from some. That’s $200-800k/yr. @pmarca shared the book on this called job stacking

Time to bring back @fabian to Farcaster!

How would you tie the incentives appropriately? Take scientific management and turn it into scientific prompt management?

There’s a huge employee surplus with AI. C-suite wants to cut roles but reality is directors and managers measure themselves by reports. ICs better off because job takes 10% of effort. AI tools pitched as cost savings fail the ROI test because of this equilibrium. Need to sell work, not software

I think this could potentially be the case at the beginning (Dark Leisure), but eventually you just have more time to think — hopefully that thinking can then be used to develop more in depth and better products! From my experience, there can only be so much doom scrolling before you realize you just aren’t really producing anything of real value. Real value comes from great work and great products. Creating something great takes more thinking that what has been used in the past — I’m so excited to see what people will do with all of this “more time”!
