I will likely never use Excel again. As a former banker, I genuinely believed one thing: My Excel skills would never get disrupted. This weekend, I had the same moment many developers had with Claude Code. Macros. Nested IFs. Circular models. That was my moat. I tested a new AI tool on a messy financial model: • 8 interlinked sheets • Broken references • Hard-coded numbers everywhere • Inconsistent formulas In minutes, it: – cleaned the structure – flagged inconsistencies – standardized formulas – explained what was wrong – and suggested a clearer architecture A real co-analyst. Now, let’s be clear: 1) You still need to understand what’s happening underneath. 2) You still need to sense-check. 3) You still need judgment. But something fundamental is shifting. For years, your value was partially tied to your technical execution skills: “How fast can you build the model?” “How well do you master the tool?” That constraint is dissolving. The bottleneck is no longer: 👉 “Can you technically do it?” It’s becoming: 👉 “Do you know what should be built?” 👉 “Can you structure the problem?” 👉 “Can you detect when the AI is wrong?” 👉 “Can you orchestrate the right agents?” We’re moving from software operators to system designers. From spreadsheet technicians to critical thinkers + agent managers. And this is going to hit way beyond Excel: Finance. Ops. Marketing. Legal. Strategy. The people who win won’t be the most technical. They’ll be the ones who: • Understand the fundamentals • Think clearly under uncertainty • And know how to collaborate with AI without outsourcing their brain If you’re still optimizing for “being the best at the tool,” you might be optimizing for yesterday. The real question now is: Are you training yourself to think at the level above the tool? Nathan Z. - thanks for the tool 😉 Comment below "Shortcut" if you want to know the tool!
