The Two Best Paths for Tech Careers in the AI Era Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit, shares a clear strategy for staying ahead in tech: Get as close to the metal as possible. Critical systems (like NASA’s rockets) won’t rely on AI-generated code. Deep expertise in core tech will always be valuable. Master end-to-end product building with AI. The ability to take an idea and turn it into a real product—fast—will set you apart. He believes learning to code has never been more valuable, as AI removes the boring parts, leaving creativity as the main skill. His boldest take? Roadmaps are dead. With AI, execution speed matters more than rigid learning plans. The real test of AI coding? Can you build an app faster than you can Google how to? If yes, the game has changed. Tech is shifting fast. Are you adapting?

Getting “close to the metal” sounds cool until you’re knee deep in low-level code while AI bros are shipping products in a weekend 😂
