Let me introduce perhaps the most important concept for getting ahead in the next 10 years: Differential Advantage. That's a lot of syllables. But it is critical every Python professional know this idea, understand it, and successfully leverage it to get and stay ahead. This concept comes from certain elite corners of the fitness community. And it makes the distinction that your outcomes are determined not just by your own advantages (skills, job experience, etc.) in the job market. What also matters is your RELATIVE advantage over others competing for the same income opportunities. For example: - AI coding tools let ANYONE create certain kinds of programs. Anyone. It's not a rare skill set - just requires reading and writing English. - Free, abundant, and tremendously high quality beginner Python courses have created a torrent of people with a certain level of coding skills. - Companies get flooded with an overwhelming pile of polished, impressive-looking applications for every job they post. Yours will, in general, be one of many. The question, then: How do you stand out? How do you develop capabilities others do NOT have. How do you create software that non-coders using AI cannot create. How do you wield Python in a way that the Python-noob masses cannot keep up. How do you develop and demonstrate your above-and-beyond skills, in a way that makes your job application shine bright in that dim pile of other resumes? This is differential advantage. And it is more important than you think. Because coding jobs of all stripes are likely to contract in the coming decade. As AI coding tools get better, they will simply replace entire full-time jobs previously filled by lower-skilled developers and data pros. That means the pie may shrink. Even if not, the daily flood of new coders continues, faster than new jobs will be created. So, take a moment: What skills and capabilities can you develop that set you apart? That will create a differential advantage for you, in your career? Reply and tell me.
