He claims this work is as complex as full-stack development, requires deep understanding of model weaknesses and agentic workflows, and predicts AI will eliminate some jobs while creating new ones. He estimates 25-35% productivity gains from AI over the coming years, with some app-building tasks seeing 10x-100x gains. He also claims most current layoffs (including at Meta) are correcting prior overhiring rather than being AI-driven. The video promotes his own mentoring program for developers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Also, the amount of people needed for this role is very small. You'll have to find clients, constantly blab on linkedin to be "seen" and it's just a overall very very energy-depleting type of work **@heracles2756** · 0 upvotes > AI implementation consulting is likely to become a valuable role, but the real advantage will go to professionals who combine strong domain expertise with the ability to apply AI effectively—not just use AI tools. **@agustinbarrientos** · 0 upvotes > An AI implementation pitch should name one measurable workflow instead of promising that a whole company will "use AI better" ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AI is changing your .NET job: What you need to know](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-is-changing-your-net-job-what-you-need-to-know-lpvjs3k5d) · Round The Code · 20 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#career](https://daily.dev/tags/career), [#future-of-work](https://daily.dev/tags/future-of-work) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/this-new-type-of-dev-job-is-starting-to-grow---fast--dr3dxgohv) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"This New Type of Dev Job is Starting to Grow - FAST!","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/this-new-type-of-dev-job-is-starting-to-grow---fast--dr3dxgohv","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/this-new-type-of-dev-job-is-starting-to-grow---fast--dr3dxgohv"},"datePublished":"2026-08-17T17:22:24.972Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:43:17.431Z","description":"A YouTuber argues a new job category is emerging: AI implementation consultants who train companies and employees to use AI effectively, since most people use...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l8CQnvx0cNo/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l8CQnvx0cNo/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Stefan Mischook","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Stefan Mischook","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--rL9dJTgI--/f_auto/v1731602107/logos/stefanmischook","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/stefanmischook"},"commentCount":10,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/this-new-type-of-dev-job-is-starting-to-grow---fast--dr3dxgohv","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":24},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":10}],"keywords":"ai,career,future-of-work","timeRequired":"PT4M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"This New Type of Dev Job is Starting to Grow - FAST!","description":"A YouTuber argues a new job category is emerging: AI implementation consultants who train companies and employees to use AI effectively, since most people use...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/l8CQnvx0cNo/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-17T17:22:24.972Z","duration":"PT4M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/DR3DxGOhV","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/l8CQnvx0cNo"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Stefan Mischook","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/stefanmischook"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"This New Type of Dev Job is Starting to Grow - FAST!"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/this-new-type-of-dev-job-is-starting-to-grow---fast--dr3dxgohv","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"That’s basically becoming a part time role for myself and my business.
