AI Won't Kill Your Coding Career
In this episode, Brick Thompson and Landon Oaks discuss how AI coding tools have evolved from early, unreliable versions to powerful assistants like Opus 4.7, GPT‑5.5, and Claude Code, enabling developers to generate routine code quickly while still requiring human oversight for quality and taste. They explore the cultural shift needed to get skeptical engineers—especially those who value the "art" of clean, modular code—to adopt AI, highlighting strategies such as AI‑enablement groups, peer demonstrations, and iterative prompting within IDE extensions. The hosts also address the broader job‑security narrative, arguing that AI will augment rather than replace software engineers, creating new roles around prompting, reviewing, and orchestrating AI output. Finally, they touch on emerging concerns like security and the future potential of more autonomous agents.
