Summary
AI is changing the job market in ways that go far beyond simple automation. While some tasks are becoming easier or disappearing altogether, new careers are emerging to help businesses implement, manage, evaluate, and even repair AI-powered systems. In this episode Matt and Mike discuss the rise of roles like Forward Deployed Engineers, AI Generalists, Prompt & Evals Engineers, and ”Vibe Code Rescue Engineers,” exploring why companies are hiring for these positions and what they reveal about the future of work. If AI continues to reshape the tech industry, understanding where new opportunities are forming may be just as important as understanding what is being automated away.
