- The restaurant owner replaced human chefs with machines, turning cooks into inventors who design new dishes machines cannot yet make, leading to a three-year waiting list and emphasizing creativity over traditional cooking.
- Wayne Gretzky’s advice to 'skate to where the puck is going' is often misinterpreted; his skill in skating itself was the key, not just prediction, especially as AI pucks change direction unpredictably.
- AI evolves rapidly, making predictions difficult (e.g., RAG systems becoming obsolete overnight), contrasting with slower tech shifts in the past like mobile's steady rise.
- With advanced AI coding tools, people often build the same old apps (SaaS, CRUD) rather than innovating new creations that match the tools' transformative potential.
- The 'zamboni' analogy highlights the need for tools that smooth over AI-induced complexity, like a visual app explorer that helps developers mentally model rapidly changing codebases.
- Adaptability is the ultimate skill now; failing to learn AI tools like Claude Code leads to obsolescence, as you'll be replaced by those who embrace them rather than by AI itself.
