Critical thinking will only become more important as AI tools spread more. How can you get better at this, and why should you reject jargon and "thought leaders?"
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s critical thinking as that’s too wide a term to be useful.
What I would put in my top 3 skills are:
problem decomposition
curiosity
being open to feedback / criticism
Problem decomposition allows you to take huge problems and fix them as if they’re nothing more than a few tiny issues.
You won’t learn anything after the initial knowledge required to do your job and keep on growing without being curious.
The same can be said for feedback, a lot of people attach their ego to their work. This is such a limiting factor, holding you back from improving in areas you weren’t aware of.
