CODE

If you're a developer in France and wondering what to learn in 2026, this post is for you 👇 I don't communicate much in French, but if I can help French speakers make the right choices about what to learn, I will. Let me introduce myself: I'm Brivael, tech co-founder of @argildotai, I went through Y Combinator in 2024 and raised 5 million euros. We're currently a team of 11 people based in Paris and we're building what will be seen in the future as a kind of AGI / Agent to produce videos for social media. Today we have tens of thousands of users, we're focused on video generation with AI avatars, but we're going to expand to much more than that very soon. If you want to ride the AI wave, it's still possible. But you have to be honest about what it takes. To paraphrase @naval: there will no longer be demand for average people. It's brutal but it's reality. If you don't find a way to be in the top 5% of what you do, you'll be unemployable. Not in 10 years. Soon. At Argil we have 7 tech people internally. And we're automating almost the entire software construction process. Our days increasingly boil down to one thing: designing agentic systems, validating architecture, orchestrating AI agents to do the rest. Classic code? Agents already do it. What has value today is the ability to think in systems, to understand how to orchestrate models together, to know when an agent should decide and when it should delegate. And that's where many get it wrong: even if AI produces 100% of the code, without mastery of software engineering, architecture and systems as a whole, it's almost impossible to [Translated from EN to English]
