The craft "dying" is your OPPORTUNITY

Why watch

Kent C. Dodds argues that AI's threat to software craft is overstated—while most developers will hand over system design to AI agents, those who stay engaged, design primitives, and maintain ownership will differentiate themselves. He explains that LLMs are not deterministic compilers, and true judgment (along with slop) was always outsourced to libraries, tickets, and now agents. The opportunity lies in treating your codebase as a software factory where you design what the agent cares about—UX, cost, and sustainability.
