Upskill or die

A recent article says that Accenture is planning on “exiting” staff who can’t be upskilled on AI.

This means, quite simply, folks who are too stubborn to embrace technological change.

I would argue that the fear of this tech goes up proportionately with one’s lack of knowledge in how to actually use these tools.

If AI is a concept that might get you fired, you’ll hate it.

If AI is a tool that lets you build literally any software application you can imagine, you’ll be excited.

Upskilling isn’t scary. It’s not mean. It’s not complex.

It’s just about approaching these tools with curiosity instead of fear.

It’s about attempting to go beyond just typing into Claude and using them to actually build software.

This is where the magic happens.

This is where the next phase of your growth occurs.
