A quiet prediction for 2026, from someone who has spent a lot of time studying how humans behave at work: I think we’re about to see an unprecedented quiet retirement of elder millennials from tech. Not dramatic exits. Not mass layoffs. Just a steady, largely unannounced backing away. Many elder millennials hit what was supposed to be the payoff phase of their careers—middle to senior roles, stable compensation, some accumulated growth—at the exact moment life got heavier. Kids entering adolescence. Parents aging or dying. Bodies changing. Energy changing. Perspective changing. (Read: perimenopause and midlife crises...) At the same time, the last decade didn’t quite deliver what was promised. Most stock options didn’t meaningfully materialize. Homeownership was delayed or derailed. Many relocated during the pandemic “temporarily” for childcare or sanity and never fully returned—to cities, to offices, or to the pace they once sustained. Then AI arrived. Not just as a new tool, but as a true platform shift. What I’m watching isn’t resistance or denial so much as a widening gap in orientation. Some people are instinctively reorganizing how they think, work, and create around this new substrate. Others are using it incrementally; helpful, but not transformative. Neither is a moral failure. But the gap compounds quickly. For a cohort already tired, already juggling more life outside of work, and already questioning the ROI of constant grinding, the incentive to retool themselves again—this time at platform speed—just isn’t there. So many will choose something else. They’ll frame it (honestly) as leaning into IRL, into human connection, into building tangible things. They’ll open coffee shops, take over family businesses, learn trades, consult selectively, or turn long-held hobbies into second careers. It will look intentional. And often, it will be. What fascinates me is not the “exit,” but the alignment: a generational life stage colliding with a technological inflection point that dramatically raises the bar for cognitive and adaptive load at work. From an HR lens, it’s one of the most interesting workforce transitions I’ve ever seen unfolding in real time... and I think we’re still underestimating how quietly, and how profoundly, it will reshape who stays, who leaves, and what “career success” even means next.

No more winners! They make the rest of us feel bad. Instead of self improvement, I want to wallow in resentment of you - because you are a winner! How dare you!!! I think its time for everyone to be an equal loser. Let's teach our kids to be losers. How great it will be! Don't study - whatever, your grades don't matter. Can't read - it's ok, we will subsidize you. Won't work - no worries, here's a handout. Equal opportunity losing is way better and more just than unequal winning! I think we can all agree on that!

Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency? Grok explanation is ~close: “Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path. People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next. It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

Intelligence is on tap now so agency is even more important

Uber trip pricing and gig economy
Vardhman Jain@lightroastguy

I worked at Uber and was closely involved during multiple driver strikes in Bangalore. This often meant long days at HSR/BTM traffic police stations, dealing directly with frustrated drivers. Whenever we cut driver incentives at a per-trip level or introduced complex incentive structures, the pushback was immediate and intense. These decisions were driven by market share goal getting more drivers onboard to meet demand. In hindsight, this was never sustainable. We later shifted focus: Increased trip fares,Non-monetary benefits (insurance, fuel, groceries), Alerts for drivers exceeding 60 hours/week, Regular focus group discussions via an initiative I launched called Uber Samaaj Despite this, backlash continued. It simply became part of the job. The real perspective shift came when I moved to Colombo. There, I saw part-time drivers driving ~22 hours/week actually benefiting from the platform. Higher fares meant decent earnings without overworking. That’s when it clicked: these platforms were designed for part-timers, not full-time dependency. The market contrast explains a lot. In 2019: Melbourne avg trip fare ≈ $8 India avg trip fare ≈ $3 When fares are low, drivers compensate by increasing hours. Longer hours lead to fatigue, dissatisfaction, and inevitable conflict with platforms. This isn’t just an Uber issue. It’s a structural problem across all gig platforms in price-sensitive markets, where platforms optimize for flexibility, but workers seek stability. Until this mismatch is acknowledged honestly, tension between gig platforms and workers will remain a permanent feature not a temporary bug.
