The Output Illusion: Reflections On AI, Business, Work And The Economy

In this episode I reflect on how AI has changed the way I work from 2023 to the present (2026) and how it's changing software engineering, business expectations and the economy. Recounting my observations from utilising AI heavy workflows and developing AI features for organisations to fundamental factors such as context that have been severely underweighted amidst the hype around the technology. I leave this episode with a number of unanswered questions that I believe we as a society should address. Want to listen to more episodes?
