My AI archetype
The Craftsman
You're the engine. Everything good runs through your hands — and right now, that's exactly why it works.
What you’re great at
Self-reliant craft. You don't wait for permission or a vendor — when something needs doing, you make it yourself, and it bears your standard.
Your next frontier
Your hands are the best in the building. The next level is teaching a system to do the parts that don't need your judgment — so your craft compounds instead of capping out at the hours you have.
