Of course this vision is a long-term journey and not something any single company can achieve alone. But being part of it is meaningful to us.
If this resonates with you, give Clarymind a try: go.clarymind.com/HmmQSq (P.S. We’ve got a year-end promo running until Jan 5!)

As technology advances, humans have the chance to live longer, healthier lives.
We’re excited to explore how we can contribute to extending healthspan. Some late nights, the thought of this future gives us that extra push.

While most tools tackle just one aspect, the human body is shaped by interconnected factors.
By integrating these areas, we aim to create a more holistic product and unlock new possibilities for innovation.

About me: 10 years as a software engineer. I grew a startup from $0 to $1.5M/year (profitable), leading both engineering and marketing.
I’ll share productivity tips, my startup journey, and thoughts on tech and business.

The AI we use is effective, based on user interviews. Many users told us they saved 16 hours of scrolling per week!
It’s fun, too. We’re adding more characters. Give it a try: go.clarymind.com/bAf8KJ

Clarymind helps users reflect on phone usage by adding a delay before opening social apps. When you try to open one, an AI character asks why you want to use it.
Simply put: reduced anxiety and saved time.

Popular theories include:
- Energy (AI’s growing computation demands increase energy scarcity)
- Biotech (vast unknowns in science)
- Space (exploration and resource extraction)
I don’t know the answer, but personally, I’m drawn to personal health. That’s where Clarymind came from.

Will AI's "programming literacy boost" happen faster? If so, how quickly? And how long will those using AI for productivity today keep their edge?
And the obvious next question: What will be the next "scarce skill"?

Of course, the hardest part to predict is timing.
Raising literacy through education took generations, and it took another 20–30 years to impact industries like publishing.

But just like writing and publishing no longer earn outsized rewards, coding and software startups may follow suit.
As AI advances in software development, these opportunities will shrink, and building moats will get harder.

From a business perspective, technology will no longer be scarce, and owning it won’t be a competitive edge.
Today’s tech unicorns succeed by leveraging software for unique distribution, proprietary algorithms, or cost reduction.

In this context, I don’t fully buy in that "AI will replace engineers."
Like the printing press replaced scribes, but also created a new industry: newspapers and media.
AI will replace those who just copy-paste code, but it will create a brand new industry for anyone who create and innovate.

In the past, literate individuals mostly copied religious texts; today, anyone can write for an audience on social media.
Similarly, many so called engineers now copy and paste code.
In the future, programming will become a form of expression.

AI-assisted programming will act like compulsory education, dramatically raising the "literacy rate" for programming languages.
Eventually (meaning, decades from now), everyone will have some degree of coding skills.

Now, an (oversimplified) analogy: using digital devices is like speaking. Almost everyone does it.
Coding, though, is like reading and writing. Only some master it.

As literacy spread, there was a time when skilled writers still had an edge, selling works and earning well.
Think of the publishing industry before the 1980s.

Historically, just being literate was a huge advantage.
Literate people often brought disproportionate rewards.
(Like Catholic scribes gaining wealth and status just by copying texts.)
