AI can write a working feature in seconds — and it's on every laptop. For 20 years, writing the code was the job. That moat is mostly gone.
So what makes you the engineer now?
The honest answer: the AI is a genius junior developer with zero judgment. It's never shipped to real users, never sat in a product meeting, never been paged at 2am. It writes the code — you catch what it silently skipped, and make the calls only you can make.
These sessions are the KT for that skill. One concept at a time: what AI gets right, what it quietly gets wrong, and the exact checklist to hand it so it builds the real thing instead of a demo. Authentication, payments, race conditions, security, scale — even building AI features into your own product.
The uncomfortable question these sessions answer: if AI writes the code, what are *you* worth? Every session ends with the checklist AI needs from you — that checklist is the answer.
