The Shifting Role of the Developer: From Writing Code to Writing Specs
from Karachi Wala Developer · host Mashhood Rastgar
Have you ever asked an AI to build something, only to realize it built the exact wrong thing? AI is incredible at generating code, but it lacks human judgment.In this episode, I share the story of building an internal AI coaching bot called "Jugnu." My first attempt failed completely because I relied on the AI's judgment instead of doing the research myself. I quickly learned that the most successful AI developers spend 90% of their time researching, planning, and writing specs before they ever type a prompt.Join me as we explore how the role of the software engineer is merging with the product manager, the death of "un-used software," and the exact frameworks and tools (like NotebookLM and Superpowers) you can use to master AI-assisted development.
