AI implements a refund rule: cancel seven days before the workshop. The tests pass.
Seven days before what? Midnight? The start time? Whose time zone?
Are You Outsourcing Code or Understanding?

AI writes code faster. Who reviews it—and who designs what comes next?
One experienced developer. Two queues. Less time to help others learn.
EP02: why understanding can become the bottleneck, and why building together matters.

“How can I add more features so people will use this?” already assumes why they aren't using it.
In EP01 of Agents and Agency, I explore how AI can help us question that assumption—and test what we learn.

If AI can help us create almost anything, what should we actually choose to create?
The future does not belong to better prompt engineers.
It belongs to better thinkers.

When answers become cheap, what becomes valuable?
For me, working with AI has made one thing clearer:
The quality of the question changes the quality of the collaboration.

Why does encapsulation matter again in the AI era?
Because as systems get larger, we cannot trace everything.
We need responsibility.
We need boundaries.
We need contracts.

If AI can write code faster than ever, does software craft still matter?
I think this is the wrong moment to abandon craft.
Faster code is not the same thing as clear, validated, valuable software.

What should you never delegate to AI?
When the work matters, there is a line between delegating a task and giving away the understanding you need to maintain, extend, and trust the system.
Where do you draw that line?

If AI can write the code, what’s left for developers?
I think the value moves from implementation to understanding:
context
decomposition
validation
systems thinking
changeable design

Most people think better prompting is about getting AI to understand you.
I think the more interesting part is discovering what you didn’t understand yet yourself.

AI is a mirror for your understanding.

Everyone asks:
"If AI writes the code, what happens to software developers?"
I think they're asking the wrong question.
The most valuable skills were never programming languages
They're thinking skills

They're thinking skills.
AI just made them visible.

Everyone says:
“Let AI code while you sleep.”
I don’t.
Not because the code is bad.
Because every diff I don’t watch is something I don’t learn.
Understanding > automation.

The biggest AI advantage isn’t better prompts.
It’s better relationships.
The more your AI understands how you think, the more valuable your collaboration becomes.
That’s the idea behind Episode 2 of my new Thinking with AI series.

AI didn’t eliminate programming.
It revealed what programming was really about.
The code was never the point.
Thinking was.
