W1: The 1000x non-engineer
Everyone's talking about the 1000x engineer. What about the 1000x non-engineer?
I've been building personal agents for the past few weeks. A Chief of Staff agent that orchestrates my day. A Content agent that plans and schedules my writing. A Calendar agent, an Email agent, a Planning agent that tracks my goals. They work together, learn from my feedback, and compound over time.
This isn't about engineering. It's about marketers, operators, founders, finance teams, sales teams, product managers—anyone who does knowledge work. The same leverage that's transforming software development is coming to every function.
The companies that embrace this will operate differently. Agents doing research, analysis, planning, execution—the full loop of work, not just pieces of it. People focused on judgment, strategy, and creativity. My next company will be built this way from the start.
Build agents that learn. Build systems that compound. That's the new job.
