Writing style breakdown

The "AI Engineer" title is mostly slop.

I've talked to dozens of companies looking for "AI talent" lately. Most of them don't even know what they're asking for. They want a dev who can wrap a prompt in a FastAPI endpoint and call it a day.

That isn't engineering. It's basic API integration.

I'm seeing a massive wave of people changing their LinkedIn headlines to "AI Expert" after building one RAG app with LangChain.

It's hurting the people actually doing the hard work. The ones optimizing inference, building custom kernels, and actually understanding the math.

If you're a founder, stop hiring for titles. Hire for the ability to solve the problem without a wrapper.

I'm going deep on this in my next video. If you've seen this happening, let me know. I'm tired of the noise.
