Now he's building his own podcast player while sounding the alarm on AI displacement. In this conversation, Philip doesn't sugarcoat it: he thinks most software developers won't be able to compete with AI within a decade, believes companies will choose "more with less" every time, and argues that your career speedrun is actually setting you up for a midlife crisis. But he's not all pessimism. Philip shares why he still pays a developer despite AI being cheaper, explains why the top 1% of engineers will make more than ever, and reveals why he thinks consciousness and wave-particle duality should be dominating our conversations way more than they do.

    Why People Are INVISIBLE To Leaders And How To Fix It | Ethan Evans

    🎉 Big Announcement: Linear is now the presenting sponsor of A Life Engineered!  We're thrilled to partner with Linear for the entire next year. Linear is the purpose-built tool for planning and building products - trusted by companies like OpenAI, Cursor, and Perplexity. Exclusive offer for our listeners: Get 6 months free of Linear Business (3 seats) to celebrate our partnership.  👉 Redeem at: https://linear.app/ale Ethan Evans got fired twice for his big mouth, yet still became a Vice President at Amazon where he built Prime Video and Twitch. In this raw conversation, he reveals what really happens when you fail catastrophically in front of Jeff Bezos, why his CEO retaliated by seducing his wife, and the uncomfortable truth about the trade-offs executives make to reach the top. He's brutally honest about giving himself a "C" as a parent and explains why turtling up after a mistake is career suicide. We dive into the counterintuitive wisdom that most people miss about career growth: why your nervous system is lying to you about risk, how to turn failure into trust, and why building your network might be more valuable than anything you're currently working on. Ethan shares his test for high-potential employees, the exact emails he sent Jeff Bezos during his biggest disaster, and why he told Elon Musk that having VPs code was "a stupid idea." If you want unfiltered truth about what it actually takes to lead at the highest levels of tech, this is it. Guest Link: https://www.ethanevans.com/
