The Future Developer Is Closer to a Product Engineer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As building gets cheap, the bottleneck moves from “how” to “what”. We look at the rise of the product-minded engineer - someone who understands the customer, the business and the outcome, and happens to be able to build. Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
Why AI Is Making Good Engineers More Valuable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A fear runs under a lot of AI conversations: that experienced engineers are worth less now the machine can write code. We argue it’s close to the opposite - AI raises the floor on output but raises the ceiling on judgement far more. Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
The Junior Developer Crisis Nobody Is Talking About (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If AI writes the boilerplate, tests and CRUD screens juniors used to learn on, how does anyone become senior? We look at the apprenticeship we’ve quietly automated away - and the slow, deferred bill that comes with it. Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
The End of Coding Interviews As We Know Them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The whiteboard puzzle always tested the one mode the job never uses - alone, from memory, no help. We look at why AI finally makes that impossible to ignore, why hiring clings to it anyway, and what’s worth measuring instead. Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
Prompt Engineering Is Dead - Long Live Specification Engineering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We argue prompt engineering is already on its way out - and what’s replacing it is one of the oldest skills in software. When generating code gets cheap, deciding precisely what to build becomes the whole game. Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
