Curious, what's the career path you'd chase? Can you give examples of some work that you think Claude will never be able to one-shot?

Oddly enough switched from software to selling retro games online.
Made ridiculous bank during 2019-2023, lost money 2024-2025 (I wasn't doing proper accounting at that stage, so it took a while to really internalise that the market wasn't insane anymore), looks like we'll make a decent-ish profit in 2025-2026 after pivoting the business model. Some regrets but it's possible staying in software could have been just as turbulent.
Funnily enough we're finally at the stage where I can launching my SaaS side-hustle which I've been sitting on for the past year and a half, so that could end up back in software again soon.
I would never say never, since I don't know what Claude would look like in 5 years' time, but there's plenty it can't do at the moment.
To give a concrete example, I don't let it make sweeping changes to the main "business logic" of my SaaS. Not because it's necessarily wrong but because I can't easily verify it. But I'll let it rip on peripheral stuff, or co-work with it.
