I help senior programmers pivot to AI. Author of The Imposter’s Handbook. Creator of This Developer’s Life. Founder https://t.co/DfFlH1MJ5u. Former Microsoft/VS Code.

On Sunday, I used AI to build an app. In a couple of hours, it generated 23,000 lines of code with full documentation and 836 passing tests. The code is amazing. The app is fully functional, well written, well structured, and has great test coverage. At least that's what the agent told me after reviewing the project structure, completeness, and code quality. So I fired it up and clicked the button. Nothing. Turns out all tests passing and the agent grading its own work as brilliant doesn't mean it actually works. Now I'm debugging, filling gaps, and showing the agent what it missed. AI can get you most of the way there, fast. But that last bit? That still needs a human who knows what they're doing. Let's not pretend otherwise.
