Experience Is Now a Tax

Senior leaders who rarely use AI tools are still making the major calls on AI strategy. Meanwhile 22 year olds are shipping production code and prototypes in hours using fluency their bosses took decades to build.

AI dramatically lowers the cost of experimentation, knowledge retrieval, and reversal. What once required years of priors can now be tested and refined rapidly.

The result: young people rewire their thinking and execution speed faster, while many seniors default to protecting credibility and avoiding public wrongness.

Useful for founders, leaders, product managers, engineers and anyone navigating career growth and decision making in the AI era.
