The Evaporating Moat - Part II

The internal shift you need to make to pivot successfully

Learn how to use AI as a productivity collaborator to help you get thing done.

In December 2025, a programmer lamented about how his career had drastically changed and how now he wasn’t entirely sure what to call himself.

“The craft I'd built my identity around was being devalued at an unprecedented pace. Some of the skills I had spent the past decade perfecting are now economically useless…The transition feels uncomfortable because it requires letting go of the identity I built. I was a programmer. But now I'm not entirely sure what to call myself.”

You also have your own version of an existential crisis on the calendar.

Maybe it was the brief moment of silence at dinner when your spouse asked you what you would be doing five years from now.

Maybe it was the moment you realized that Claude Code could generate in minutes what took you several years to learn and days to complete.

You are not burned out and no, you aren’t facing an impostor syndrome.

What you are experiencing has happened before in 1962 at the NASA Langley offices where elite mathematicians watched the IBM 7090 gradually make them obsolete.

For several years, they saw their own version of themselves that was irreplaceable gradually die.
