Every major technological wave follows a similar emotional arc. First comes excitement. Then exaggeration. Then fear. Then disappointment. And finally, normalization. Artificial intelligence is currently somewhere between exaggeration…
The job market is full of new titles. AI Engineer. AI Specialist. AI-Native Developer. It sounds like the industry is shifting toward a completely new role. But if you look closely at what companies actually need, a different pattern…
The conversation around AI and software development often focuses on one dramatic question: Will AI replace developers? In reality, that’s not where the biggest impact is happening. The most immediate disruption is appearing somewhere…
AI is changing software engineering. Not by eliminating developers — but by shifting where value lives. If code becomes cheaper, faster, and easier to generate, then the differentiator moves. The question is not how to compete with AI.…
AI is improving at an extraordinary pace. It writes code, explains concepts, drafts documentation, suggests refactors, and sometimes even anticipates what we’re trying to build. The progress is real. Pretending otherwise would be naïve.…
If AI can write code, what exactly are we being paid for?
Why AI makes average output easier — and real expertise more valuable.
After the AI hype, fear, and noise — a calm look at what this moment really means for developers.
I quit AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and Cursor AI to rebuild my coding focus and skills. Learn how stepping back can improve developer productivity and creativity.
