They're wrong.
Every company in the world today needs to have an AI agent strategy. Every single software company, every single enterprise needs an agentic systems strategy. This is the new type of computer.

Life sciences analysis showing 75-85% of workflows can be enhanced by AI agents, potentially freeing 25-40% of organizational capacity and boosting EBITDA by 3-5 percentage points over 3-5 years.
Industry outlook predicting AI-native software companies will reshape competitive dynamics, with AI potentially driving 30-35% productivity gains across the software development lifecycle.
"While working alone in my underwear on the side of my hotel bed with my MacBook and my coffee, I was able to outcompete million-dollar VC-funded teams of 30+ people in an office in San Francisco with Aeron chairs, oakwood meeting desks, $20,000 espresso machines, bean bags and ping-pong tables."
— From "MAKE" on solo vs. big teams
"In the time you've sent a bunch of emails to your developers, I've already pushed 5 bug fixes and added 2 new features to my app. Who's going to win here? Who's faster? Not you!"
— From "MAKE" on shipping speed
"When starting up, you don't need a team if you have the skills yourself. You don't need startup capital if you have the skills yourself. And getting the skills yourself isn't that hard if you can search every question on Google."
— From "MAKE" on democratization
Two frameworks for navigating career development and asset building in an AI-transformed world
"The biggest change in human history is happening right now because we're creating something more intellectually capable than ourselves... Your safe job is not safe."
"Knowledge and skills are your most reliable allies — they remain steadfast and are entirely immune to the ebbs and flows of fortune."
Agent Skills are like superpowers you can give to an AI assistant. Instead of learning complex software yourself, you just chat with the AI and tell it what you need — the skill handles all the technical work behind the scenes. I've built 99+ of these skills. Here are some examples:
The dashboard you UWE students have been using for the Sustainable Organisation project. I was the lead, but didn't write the code myself — I worked with AI agents who did the coding. We built this together through conversation, not traditional programming.

All are free for students to experiment with — no credit card required
Your own AI assistant that runs on your computer and works through apps you already use like WhatsApp or Telegram. Ask it to do things — write code, search the web, manage files — and it actually does them. Like having a digital employee that works for you 24/7.
Create full apps and websites just by describing what you want in plain English. No coding required — you chat with the AI, it builds the app for you. Perfect for quickly turning ideas into working prototypes or building projects without learning to code first.
An AI coding buddy that sits in your code editor and helps you write code as you type. Stuck on a problem? Ask it to explain, suggest fixes, or write entire functions. Free for verified students. Perfect for learning to code faster or tackling assignments more efficiently.
