Hello and welcome back to The Mindshift AI Inference!

For decades, the startup mantra was: Ideas are nothing, execution is everything.

The logic made sense. Ideas are cheap. Anyone can have them. What separates winners from dreamers is the ability to deliver.

That wisdom is inverting.

I have been thinking about a recent post by Oliver Molander on LinkedIn, who referenced Dario Amodei's prediction that AI will handle nearly all software engineering within 6-12 months.

Whether the timeline is exact matters less than the direction. Execution is becoming automated. The hard part of building things is getting easier by the month.

What does this mean for how we work?

If AI handles execution, the bottleneck shifts to what we ask it to build. The quality of the idea. The clarity of the vision.

OLD WORLD: You have an idea. You spend months learning to code, or you hire developers, or you raise money to hire developers.

NEW WORLD: You have an idea. You describe it clearly. AI builds it. You refine it. The cycle from idea to prototype shrinks from months to hours.

What has changed? The best idea, not the best execution will win.

So, the individuals with the best ideas and the ability to lead the AI will be immensely valuable for society, corporation and for themselves!

Creativity, communication skills and AI literacy should be the goal of everyone's education.

If this isn't your focus yet, begin today. There was probably no better time in history to self-actualize AND create massive value for the world than today.

Ideas are everything. Execution is handled by AI.

Have a great day!
