OM DENNE EPISODE
AI can write code — but that doesn’t mean you should trust it.
In this episode of Domesticating AI, we’re joined by Tyler Folkman (author of The AI Architect) to break down how engineers are actually using AI to build software — and why most people are still just vibe coding.
- Vibe coding vs real engineering
- Reasoning models vs coding models
- How to plan and prompt AI effectively
- When to let AI take the wheel (and when not to)
- Local vs cloud coding agents
- Token costs vs owning hardware
