What Can AI Really Do?

About this episode

The episode explores the capabilities of AI tools in coding and development processes.

I wonder how many of you have tried vibe coding something with an AI tool. If you haven't, I certainly recommend it. I've been a bit amazed with a few of my AI Experiments , including my loading of a lot of inconsistently formatted data into a database for USD$5 . To be clear, there's plenty of vibe coding that might not be production-ready, but have you ever been handed code from a human developer you didn't think was production-ready? Or deployed code like that? Certainly, AI could exacerbate the situation, but it can also spark ideas, ease (and speed) development in small ways, and tackle the backlog of things your org needs. Especially small tools. Read the rest of What Can AI Really Do?
