Learn AI or Die - My Skater Past Taught Me That First

Meta Description: If you weren’t on a board, you were dead. Then spreadsheets killed me. Now it’s AI. Same hill. Better wheels. Learn or wipe out.

Used to think if you weren’t on a board, you were dead.

That was the only thing that mattered. If you couldn’t skate, you didn’t exist.

Then Reality

Then spreadsheets killed me.

Turns out knowing how to kickflip doesn’t pay rent. The world moved on. New skills. New survival.

Now

Now it’s AI.

Same story. Different decade.

Learn or wipe out.

What Dying Looks Like

Not Terminator style.

Nobody’s getting chased by robots.

It’s slower than that. Boring. Quiet.

Replaceable.

Someone else does your job. Faster. Cheaper. Better. And you didn’t even see it coming because you thought you had time.

Same Hill

Same hill I’ve been skating my whole life.

Just better wheels now.

The hill doesn’t care if you’re ready. It doesn’t wait for you to figure it out.

Learn AI.

Or die.

Same lesson. Different decade. The hill is always there.
