About this episode

Konstantin Klyagin discusses the implications of AI in software development and the importance of making informed decisions.

Konstantin Klyagin has spent more than two decades building software for other companies, and lately he’s also been fixing more of what AI helps people build. Through his agencies Redwerk and QAwerk, he sees what happens after the prototype looks convincing and real users start doing things you didn’t expect. Something that worked perfectly in a demo can suddenly fail on basic workflows, from payments to duplicated bookings. That’s why Konstantin sees AI as a multiplier. It can help you build more, but it can also accelerate a bad decision before you’ve realised you misunderstood what people actually need. When almost anyone can turn an idea into working software, deciding what deserves to be built becomes more important. In this episode, we get into where vibe-coded products start to break, what still needs proper technical experience, and how to build a software business when AI is available to everyone. We also talk about bootstrapping, hiring behind demand, and what 21 years in business taught Konstantin about adapting when circumstances change underneath you. ___ ⭐️ Episode sponsored by DataForSEO ⭐️ Check how your business appears across AI answers and web search…
