EP3: AI : Friend or Foe? Using AI Without Losing Your Edge
In this episode, Ope and I discuss how we incorporate AI into our work as software engineers—the benefits, the challenges, and the misconceptions. We break down the pitfalls of relying too much on AI, share strategies for using it effectively without compromising core engineering skills, and offer practical advice on leveraging AI to boost productivity rather than replace developers. Whether you're excited about AI or skeptical of its role in tech, this conversation sheds light on how to use it responsibly and efficiently.
