Original Summary

I used to (and sometimes still do) love really thinking about a problem - pen and paper, whiteboards, thinking on the tornado throne, you name it.<p>And before AI, the projects I came up with might not have been the BEST or life-changing but they were the result of me hyper-focusing on something niche for an inordinate amount of time. Which inevitably meant I learned a lot AND anyone who saw that had a predictable reaction &quot;that&#x27;s so cool, you need a life, but still cool&quot;. And I&#x27;ve interpreted that as a recognition of skill and care. On occasion that has even landed me opportunities that I didn&#x27;t even know existed.<p>These days I find myself wondering if there&#x27;s anything that isn&#x27;t a prompt (or a few hundred) away. And if it is, what would make my skills valuable or even visible. Specifically in the context of soon becoming an ex-student, current struggling new-grad, I keep wondering what signals indicate skills to an outsider (and not a SKILLS.MD). A resume by itself is quickly becoming deceptive with most projects just being the product of barking at a model with half-baked ideas until something resembling a working prototype comes out.<p>To be clear, I&#x27;m not a pessimist. I don&#x27;t think its time to till the fields for our overlords. I&#x27;m trying to understand what advice people think is still applicable and what is a relic that needs a patch or two.<p>TL;DR: AI projects are impressive but don&#x27;t always indicate skills. How do i signal skills and not just ideas and prototypes?
