#270 - Coding in the Age of AI: What No One’s Telling You
About this episode
AI is changing coding faster than anyone expected.
Two years ago, autocomplete felt wild—now people with zero dev experience are shipping apps over a weekend.
The question isn’t “is AI replacing developers?” It’s “how do you actually use it without wrecking your codebase?”
In this episode, I’ll break down when to use AI (and when not to), why Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the real game-changer, and how you can stay valuable as a new developer in a world full of hype.
