Recently I gave my first ever presentation at iO. It was about what it actually feels like to be a junior developer in a world where AI is just always there. This is a write-up of that talk, including what the room said back.

That there's a gap between "it works" and "I understand why it works" and that gap is getting wider, not smaller.

20 years from now, important shit will go sideways, and no one will be able to fix it. That's the world you're building and that's the world your kids will blame you for.
