ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Senior developer Ilija reveals he writes ZERO lines of code anymore and ships 4x faster than before. In this episode, he breaks down exactly how AI transformed his entire development workflow and what it means for the industry.What we cover:- How his team went "full AI" and stopped manual coding completely- The meta-workspace setup that manages multiple codebases- Why token costs hit $200 in 4 days (and how they fixed it)- The junior developer crisis: 50-60% fewer job openings- Why big corporations are backtracking on AI investments- His workflow: 80% prompting, 20% reviewing, 0% coding- The skill decay problem when AI does everything- Why founders expect miracles after building with V0/Lovable- Environmental costs nobody talks about (data centers poisoning water)- Soft skills vs hard skills in the AI eraKey takeaway: The industry is split into two camps: those adapting to AI-first development and those getting left behind.
