June 12th, 2026

When an AI coding agent guessed its way through bad permissions and deleted months of PocketOS production data in nine seconds — and what durable skills would have stopped it.

One durable skill per episode, straight to camera.

AI keeps making implementation cheaper. That doesn't make you less valuable — it moves the value. Knowing what to build, what to fix first, and what your users actually need is the work that stays scarce. That's what this show is about.

Each episode I take one skill, framework, or hard-earned lesson from real product work and land it in about fifteen minutes. No tool demos, no hype. And every episode ends with homework you can apply to your own backlog the same day.

New episodes publish on YouTube first, with audio everywhere you already listen.

Shipping code is getting easier. Shipping the right thing isn't.

The engineers who stay valuable are the ones who get better at judgment, prioritization, and understanding the people they build for.

The expensive mistake has changed.

When implementation was slow, bugs were the costly failure. Now agents can build the wrong thing faster than ever — and the wrong thing at speed is still the wrong thing.

These skills outlast the toolchain.

Frameworks and models churn. Problem clarity, prioritization, empathy, and ownership transfer across every stack, team, and product cycle.

Every episode stands alone — start anywhere.
