And at some level, it makes sense. There are a lot of extroverts out there for whom the ideal job really is feeling like an orchestra conductor delegating and coordination an army of others. There is a great feeling of empowerment in watching a group build something bigger than you could have made on your own. And, if you're not someone who really likes to get their hands dirty and do the thing yourself, why not aspire towards a style of working that always feels that high level and powerful?

And, obviously, people who are wired that way are exactly the kind of people to move into management and executive roles and end up being in charge of and evangelizing AI to the world. So it's no surprise you hear people talking about this style of working all the time.

I'm 47. I've had the opportunity to move into management many times. I've been in a lead role enough to know the positive sides of that job and I deeply enjoy the soft skills part of working with a team.

I just know who I am and know that on days where I don't feel like I really made something concrete myself, I feel like I didn't live a real day.
