John Collison (Stripe Founder) breaks it down into two groups he’s very bullish on in the AI era. First are high-agency people, the ones who don’t wait around. They talk to customers, figure out what needs to be done, and just go do it. With AI, they’re now way more powerful because they can execute faster without needing a huge team. Second are multidisciplinary thinkers. People who combine skills, like software and finance, or software and marketing. That mix lets one person do what used to take entire teams.
