Great data points here, Martin. That 25% drop in grad hiring is brutal.

Juniors doing automatable work are the first casualties. Which is exactly why AI literacy has become non-negotiable at every level.

For juniors: AI skills are now table stakes. Not to replace thinking, but to amplify it. The ones who survive won't be competing with AI: they'll be leveraging it to punch above their weight class.

For seniors: Not everyone needs to become a prompt engineer. But the best leaders? They understand AI capabilities well enough to orchestrate it strategically.

It's not about seniors learning to prompt better. It's about knowing what to delegate to AI vs humans, and how to supervise both.

You painted the picture so well. AI skeptics might push back on every word here, even if it’s all true.

The more I build with AI, the clearer it becomes: we’re already living in a time when most jobs will require some level of AI fluency. It’s not a distant future, it’s arriving, whether we like it or not.

Instead of resisting it, I’ve found it far more meaningful to lean in, stay curious, and grow with it.
