A generalists unfair advantage

Generalists might be the winners in AI-assisted development.

AI writes perfect functions when you tell it exactly what to build. But someone needs to know the real problem isn’t the code. It’s the caching strategy, the mobile UX or how this connects to the payment system.

The specialist gets incredible productivity in their narrow slice. The generalist becomes the conductor.

The catch is too many generalists and nobody can decide what to actually build.
