In this episode, we break down one of the wildest stories in tech right now — an AI agent wiping out an entire production database in seconds — and what that says about the systems we’re building.
But that’s just the beginning.
We also dive into the bigger shift happening across the industry: the decline of junior developer roles, the rise of AI-assisted engineering, and why the way we build software is fundamentally changing. From debugging with AI to companies restructuring how teams work, this isn’t just a trend — it’s a real shift in how engineers are expected to operate.
If you’re a software engineer (or trying to break into the field), this is something you need to understand now, not later.
Let us know in the comments — are we moving too fast with AI, or is this the natural evolution of engineering?
