I'm a software engineer and have embraced using AI to make me more productive. Seeing the fast pace of innovation and improvements of agents and tools leaves me wondering what I should shift my focus to.

Beyond the obvious answer of "learn how to use AI," I'm curious how other people would answer this question.

My own answer: Use AI tools to make the transition from employed software engineer to being able to produce value while transitioning to becoming self-employed.
