The person who replaces you probably won't be AI. It'll be someone from the next department over who learned to use it - opinion/discussion

Key Points

The author argues that generative AI adoption is blurring job boundaries, with strategy professionals increasingly using tools like Claude to prototype and influence product decisions.
They claim engineers are increasingly making product calls while product teams prototype strategic hypotheses, and strategy roles are taking on code shipping responsibilities.
The post suggests AI-driven workflows are spreading across departments, making replacements more likely to come from adjacent teams rather than from AI systems themselves.
The author frames the piece as an open question to readers about whether they observe the same organizational pattern and which industries are experiencing it most.

I'm a strategy person by background. Two years ago I'd write a recommendation and hand it to a product team. Now.. I describe what I want to Claude and I've got a prototype..

Feels like I'm not the only one crossing lanes though.. the engineers I know are making product calls. Product people are prototyping strategic hypotheses. Strategy people are shipping code.

I wrote a more detailed blog on it (which I can share if people want to read) but curious whether people outside of tech are seeing the same pattern.

Can you let me know if you're seeing this pattern in your company and what industry you'd say you're in? I'd think this is primarily tech/big tech right now?
