sevaka (Worker)

यत्करोषि यदश्न‍ासि यज्ज‍ुहोषि ददासि यत् ।
यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम् ॥ २७ ॥

Whatever you do,
whatever you eat,
whatever you offer or give away,
and whatever austerities you perform
do that, O son of Kuntī, as an offering to Me. -Bhagavad Gita 9.27

The greatest men in the world have passed away unknown. The Buddhas and the Christs that we know are but second-rate heroes in comparison with the greatest men of whom the world knows nothing. -Swami Vivekananda, Karma Yoga.

Our first duty is not to hate ourselves, because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God. He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God. -Swami Vivekananda, Karma Yoga.

With AI the importance of specialization becomes less important. If AI can write some code faster, trying to outpace AI is not going to be useful as you will always be behind AI. It is better to focus on the fundamentals and become an effective generalist that can then keep an eye on AI systems.

This means that we must learn different fields and have a baseline understanding in all of them. The most important core knowledge across everything is project management and finance. These two are the stone of all business and understanding of how to do both effectively will lead to everything else becoming easier to do.

The secondary skills that are needed on top of these two are marketing, sales and engineering. These three are where we apply the knowledge of project management and finance. So Sevakas are to learn these five things at a basic level and use AI or specialization to optimize. Having broad understanding of how different systems work together is more important than any specialized knowledge of a single system. The specialized knowledge can be figured out. But seeing how the whole system works is more important.
