Writing code is now cheap. Software Engineering remains the actual skill. Know the difference. Make decisions accordingly.

There's going to be a point where we, as hiring managers, have to make a deliberate choice to hire Junior-level people onto our teams with the goal of leveling them up. How else will we develop the next generation of software engineering leaders in the age of #ai?

With so much hype around replacing human software engineers with #ai, I doubt the companies looking to sell that dream will ever reveal the costly failures that sometimes come with being an early adopter. It's not in their best interest to say the tech is not there yet.

With the number of libraries available to Go developers these days, you'd think building a CLI app was now a trivial matter. But like many things in software development, it depends. In this episode, we explore the challenges that arose during one team's journey towards a production-ready CLI.
