AI Careers

I’ve been a software engineer for 15 years. I’ve built apps, led teams, shipped products. I thought I was safe from automation because I’m a “creator” not just a “user.” But this week I watched a demo of an AI agent that can take a vague product spec, write the entire codebase, deploy it, and […]

I keep seeing the same refrain everywhere: “Prompt engineering is a fad. It’ll be gone in a year once models get better.” I think that’s exactly backwards. And here’s why. **The conventional wisdom is that better models = less need for careful prompting.** GPT-5 or Gemini Ultra will just “understand what you mean,” so you […]

I work in tech—not as an engineer, more on the product/strategy side—and I used to pride myself on staying ahead of trends. But the last six months have been a blur. Every week there’s a new […]
