There’s a dramatic gap between what people think AI does and what it actually changes day-to-day. AI isn’t just a coding helper—it’s a shift in how developers design, reason, debug, and explore solutions. Most importantly, it changes what a single person can build.
In this episode, we examine the real impact: faster reasoning loops, smaller feedback cycles, more ambitious solo projects, and a transition from “memorizing” to “orchestrating.” I also break down how to use AI without becoming dependent on it—and how to maintain your engineering depth in an AI-driven world.
The developers who thrive in the AI era won’t be the fastest typers. They’ll be the best thinkers.
