#16: The AI Singularity: Agentic Code and the End of the Iron Rice Bowl | Jordan Dea-Mattson (CTPO@Jurin AI)
Jordan D. Matson is a Technology and Leadership Expert with 40 years of experience, including 13 years at Apple (leading the Power PC transition) and building Indeed’s engineering center in Singapore. He views the current AI shift as fundamentally larger than the PC, web, and mobile revolutions combined. He anticipates the Technological Singularity (2035–2040), where the rate of technological change becomes undefined.
Key Learnings and Advice on Business and Technology:
Disruption: Agentic Coding has effectively "wiped off the map" the entry level of the career ladder. The guarantee of stability known as the "iron rice bowl" is gone, making employment a highly transactional thing due to companies' "zero loyalty".
Adaptation: Individuals must adopt a continuous learning mindset. Professionals must pivot from the technical "how" to focusing on the business "what and why".
Critical Skills: Success requires AI fluency and mastering human skills: the ability to ask questions, frame problems, and evaluate output. The ideal model is collaboration, maintaining the "human in the loop".
Career Structure: Mid-level professionals must become more generalist, rather than specialized, to broaden their understanding.
