Stripe co-founder John Collison on the two types of people who will thrive in the AI era over the next 10 to 20 years: He identifies two categories of people he's "super bullish on": First: high-agency people. "We know this at Stripe. The people who are like, I've been talking to customers. I know exactly what we should do. We got to go fix this. But the people who have that pep in their step and they want to go make Stripe better." The idea is simple. The people who don't wait around for permission, who figure out what needs doing and go do it, now have leverage they've never had before. AI lets them execute faster without needing to assemble a huge team behind them. Second: double majors. "I think if you understand software and understand finance or if you understand software and understand marketing, you now can go massively improve the entire marketing funnel for your company and one person can do." John Collison connects this to a famous Paul Graham observation: "Typically an entrepreneurship team a founding team has a collection of like five or six skills between two founders three founders." He also points to Charlie Munger's case for multidisciplinary thinking, noting it's easier than ever to pick up a functional grasp of new fields: "He thinks getting a functional understanding of many disciplines is not that hard you can just go read the books now you know you can talk to your AI about it and so I think multidisciplinary thinkers are going to do incredibly well." The throughline is the same for both: AI closes the gap between knowing what to do and being able to do it. One person can now move at the pace of a full team, and combine skills that used to require entire departments.
