Agents are eating the software development lifecycle from the bottom up — code generation already gone, review and ops following fast. What remains is figuring out what people actually want, which can't be automated or scaled. That job is called product engineering, it pays $240k, and nobody's training for it.

I scaled back my ambitions from "how to write AI apps" to what I've actually learned. Key lessons: LLMs excel at condensing text, not creating it. Give them the data they need rather than relying on training. Let them self-correct. Use regular code wherever possible. And stop trying to replace humans, especially doctors and lawyers.
