The Software Engineer Who Started Thinking About Farming

AI is changing software development faster than many engineers expected. As coding agents become more capable, junior roles, technical depth, and the path toward senior engineering are all being challenged. In this episode, we explore why software engineers should think beyond code. We look at AI-generated software, security and architecture risks, the uncertain economics of the AI boom, and the question of whether we can blindly trust AI with critical systems. Then we turn to farming, not as a career replacement, but as an example of a durable, physical-world skill that builds independence and resilience in a rapidly changing technological world.
