After publishing the first lesson, I realized I should have started the series with why I started to build with AI, what I learned, and how it shaped my view of software development in the age of AI.
I've led engineering teams for about 25 years. Lately I've been back in the code myself. Over the last several months I built a product end to end, mostly on my own: an AI-native procurement tool, first plan through deployment, with AI in the loop the whole way.
Zero to production in about four months.
A few thousand tests behind it.
Multiple LLM providers, picked by the use case.
