The industry has fundamentally shifted. Developers with decades of experience are openly admitting they haven't written a line of manual code in months. We break down the massive shift toward AI-assisted coding, why 60% of companies are pushing unreviewed AI code to production, and how you need to adapt your workflow before the "AI forgiveness bubble" bursts. Plus, we answer a listener question on salary negotiation and explain exactly how one 5-minute conversation can replace 6 years of grinding for annual 3% raises.
