The new minimum capability.

How AI is changing what "good" means.

As AI takes on more junior-level and tactical execution, many jobs are shifting from doing to deciding.

Following instructions used to be enough to be considered good. But now, reliable execution is just the starting point.

Think of it like music:

The Player: Reads the sheet music and plays what’s written.
The Improviser: Stays in key but adjusts in real time.
The Composer: Creates the music others follow.

The difference isn’t just in skill. It’s in judgment.

To thrive in what’s next, we need to build teams that can create the music, not just play along.
