The jab lands, though it's worth noting the messenger: Mercor's entire business is white-collar hiring beyond engineering, so the framing is conveniently self-serving. Still, the underlying point is sound — coding dominates the agent boom not because engineers matter most, but because code is the one domain with cheap, verifiable evaluation. Extending that to law, finance, or medicine is an evals problem before it's a model problem. In our view, the SF focus is a sequencing choice, not amnesia: whoever cracks domain-specific evals for the other 98% of knowledge work will own the next leg of the market. Watch the benchmarks, not the demos.
