Eric Siu argues that building end-to-end workflows and closed loops is the AI skill that will matter most in 2026. People who master this will outperform those stuck maintaining open loops.
Once you learn how to build end-to-end workflows for yourself personally, you can then carry over. That's a really valuable skill, and then you can carry that over into work, and then people are going to see more value in the way that you do things. Because I'm telling you, that skill is going to be in massive demand. So no matter what you do, learn how to do end-to-end workflows. Learn how to get to closed loops, because I'm telling you, the vast majority of people are going to stay with open loops, and you are going to run circles around them.
