AI is Changing Work – Big Time!
Upskill for the AI Era: How to Future-Proof Your Career
Guess what? AI is becoming a normal part of how we work! In the past six months, almost twice as many people are using AI tools at their jobs, with most of the world’s workers turning to it for help. Workers are feeling stressed by the amount of stuff they have to do, so they’re starting to use AI even if their bosses haven’t gotten into it yet.
While company leaders know AI is important, a lot of them don’t have a clear plan for how to make it work for their whole company. They want to see results right away, which makes them freeze up, even though they know AI is the future.
This is where things get tricky. It’s like when the internet or computers first came around – companies have to adapt or they’ll get left behind. The businesses that figure out how to use AI to grow, save money, and make customers happy are going to be the winners.
AI and Jobs
Just like the internet, AI is going to change the way we think about jobs. Many leaders are worried about finding the right people, even though a ton of workers are thinking about switching jobs. Soon, knowing how to use AI might be just as important as having experience!
Want to get ahead of the game? Joining an online AI community like CO/AI can be a super smart move. You’ll connect with other people who are excited about AI, learn from experts, and maybe even catch the eye of companies looking for talented folks who understand this technology!
Microsoft and LinkedIn have been studying all this AI stuff. They surveyed a bunch of people, looked at job trends, and kept track of how workers are getting things done. They found some important things that everyone needs to know about when it comes to AI and our future jobs.

Stop Boarding Up the Windows. The Tsunami Is Coming.
There's a popular narrative about AI and jobs right now. It goes something like this: AI is coming for your job. Companies are laying people off. The robots are winning. It's not wrong, exactly. But it's dangerously incomplete — like watching a hurricane through your living room window and thinking the problem is the wind. When a hurricane hits, the first thing you notice is the wind. Trees bending, debris flying, power lines snapping. It's dramatic and visible and it's what every camera crew points at. Then comes the rain — relentless, overwhelming, the kind that makes you question every...
Feb 24, 2026The command line didn’t die. It was waiting.
There's a moment every programmer remembers. Not when they learned to code — that's a different memory, usually involving a textbook and a lot of frustration. I mean the moment when the terminal stopped feeling like a place you visited and started feeling like a place you lived. For me, that moment happened twice. Once in my early twenties, bent over a keyboard writing Bash scripts, watching the Unix command line respond to me like a conversation. And then again, exactly one year ago, when I typed my first prompt into Claude Code and felt that same electricity — something on...
Feb 12, 2026AI and Jobs: What Three Decades of Building Tech Taught Me About What’s Coming
In 2023, I started warning people. Friends. Family. Anyone who would listen. I told them AI would upend their careers within three years. Most nodded politely and moved on. Some laughed. A few got defensive. Almost nobody took it seriously. It's 2026 now. I was right. I wish I hadn't been. Who Am I to Say This? I've spent thirty years building what's next before most people knew it was coming. My earliest partner was Craig Newmark. We co-founded DigitalThreads in San Francisco in the mid-90s — Craig credits me with naming Craigslist and the initial setup. That project reshaped...
