AI is changing what developers build, but code alone is no longer enough to prove what you can do. Wes Bos explains why engineers need to solve problems beyond syntax, how agent workflows are reshaping software development, and what still requires human thinking.
In this conversation:
- The limits of generative UI and AI-generated design
- Agent loops, harnesses, and cheaper AI models
- The rising cost of AI coding and the case for local hardware
- Why developer education is shifting from syntax to problem-solving
- Personal branding, conferences, newsletters, and AI-generated content
For developers navigating AI-assisted coding, this episode explores the skills and signals that still help you stand out.
This podcast was recorded at JSNation, the key web dev conference.
