#193 - How I Use AI Every Day as a Software Developer (and You Should Too)
About this episode
A few months ago, during my first week at a new job, the CEO caught me red-handed using ChatGPT.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
I told him the truth:
“Trying to match this UI design to the design spec—I use ChatGPT all the time for stuff like this. I’m not the best at styling.”
His response? “Oh, cool. I had no idea you could do that.”
In this episode, I’ll share the full story and break down how to use AI tools like ChatGPT strategically—without risking your reputation or blindly copying code.
