With the integration of AI directly into development tools like Xcode, the way software gets built is changing.
The real question is:
what skills actually matter when AI can generate code?
In this episode, I explore a shift I’ve seen firsthand—moving from knowing to figuring things out.
As an aerospace engineer turned Apple developer, I never followed a traditional path. What’s often called a “hacker mindset” isn’t about breaking systems—it’s about navigating uncertainty and solving problems without having all the answers.
We explore:
• Why thinking matters more than memorization
• What changes for junior developers
• How AI reshapes the role of creativity and problem-solving
• Why persistence and adaptability become more valuable
This isn’t just about coding.
It’s about how work changes when tools get smarter.
