I wasn't too active yesterday, but what I did contribute was. . . nice.

Wage rate, responsiveness, integrity, imagination...

Also, this seems to be confusing absolute and comparative advantage. Comparative advantage actually is the explanation for why people are still employable even when they're not the best at anything.

Also, also, the answer might be something other than coding. There are other human pursuits.

Intelligence is being commodified. Which means the price of everyone's value and time will drop.

reply

Yes, but a cheaper substitute for intelligence inputs will also reduce costs of producing stuff. It's not obvious that the purchasing power of people's labor will decline and it generally doesn't after technological displacement.

Have you posted about this before on SN? I don't think I've seen your take on this.

reply

Not specifically. It's pretty conventional application of economic theory, so I just drop it in comments.

A common example is that Lebron probably has the potential to be the best janitor in the Crypto.com Arena, but they don't have him sweeping the floors.

The reason is that the janitors are much closer to being as good at janitorial services than they are to being as good at basketball.

The question he was seeking to answer is why rich countries trade with poor countries when rich countries are more productive at making everything.

This answer, comparative advantage, is monumentally important for understanding the world around you.

The same if you can code anything and someone else can code anything. There is no competitive advantage in coding. The advantage is in excellence. Try that when you are vibe coding; it's really, really hard.

That "should" be the pursuit in every creative endeavor. But the core of what it comes down to is having a reputation of excellence.
