      Credentialism is dying, and we already know that below the API careers are being rebased on algorithmic gamesmanship, ratings and the like. This is probably going to be better than industrial on-the-clock laboring conditions in the end, even if transients sometime seem worse.

      But those hoping above-the-API careers will become wonderfully imaginative and sui generis works of art are going to be disappointed. Software eating the world does not magically pump you up with imagination at the same time that it fragments the 9-5/ages 18-65 grind.

      What has become clear in the ~20 years since @DanielPink tagged the trend in Free Agent Nation is that the majority of people end up on career paths just as formulaic as old Organization Man paths. They are just procedurally generated rather than life-clock-driven.

      Tim Ferriss’s 4HWW formula was just the first of many. Instead of kids being programmed by daycare-prison schools and then cast into interchangeable-parts specs by colleges, people adopt cliched personalities by imitation and get on derisked career paths in synchronized swarms.

      If organization-man-era people were derisively called sheeple, we could apply the term swarmple to procedurally generated bot-like career paths. The behaviors are perhaps a little richer, varied, and complex due to technological flexibility, but no more imaginative.

      That said, the big difference is that the upside of bringing originality and imagination to everything you do has gone through the roof, even as formulaic patterns saturate via imitation faster and faster. The half-life of a formula like 4HWW is falling.

          It’s not quite a Ponzi scheme, but the bulk of the potential of a formula will accrue to the first cohort to adopt it. So understand the formulas you see being swarmed all around you, but remain aware of the shelf-life, and keep an eye on the expiry date.

          If you want to get off the treadmill of chasing one formula/system/playbook after the other hoping to get lucky, stop paying so much attention to how other people are winning or losing, and start paying direct attention to things that interest you. Let your own daemons guide you.
