Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code, has proposed a new framework for classifying roles in the AI era, suggesting traditional jobs like developers and data scientists will be replaced by five new archetypes: Prototyper, Builder, Sweeper, Grower, and Maintainer. Cherny, now at Anthropic, developed Claude Code, which significantly impacts internal workflows and has contributed to GitHub commits. He argues that AI is lowering skill barriers, making generalists more valuable and professional specializations obsolete, likening the current shift to the impact of the printing press on scribes. Cherny's framework is intended to help individuals and organizations adapt to the rapidly changing job market. AI
