A lot of developers are still grinding away at React, Vue, and traditional full stack stacks, thinking that\u2019s the safe path. It\u2019s not. That wave has already crested.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been in this business for over 30 years, and I\u2019ve seen this pattern repeat. People pile into what worked yesterday, and by the time they get good at it, the market has moved on. That\u2019s how you end up with solid skills that don\u2019t get you paid.<\/p>\n
The shift now is toward what I call AI harnessing.<\/strong> Not just using AI, but designing systems that coordinate multiple AI components to produce real outcomes.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a simple example from my own workflow.<\/p>\n I built a system where I upload a YouTube video, and everything else happens automatically. One AI grabs the transcript and cleans it. Another refines it based on how I think and write. A third turns it into a structured article. Then Zapier pushes it into WordPress as a draft.<\/p>\n What used to take me 30\u201340 minutes now happens on its own.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t about saving a bit of time. This is a different way of building software.<\/strong> You\u2019re no longer just writing functions and components. You\u2019re orchestrating behavior across multiple systems.<\/p>\n The mistake is focusing on tools instead of principles.<\/p>\n Tutorials teach you syntax. Frameworks teach you patterns tied to a specific stack. But those stacks keep changing. If your value is tied to a tool, your value expires with that tool.<\/p>\n What actually transfers is:<\/p>\n That\u2019s the foundation that lets you adapt when the ground shifts. And it always shifts.<\/p>\n AI isn\u2019t removing the need for developers. It\u2019s changing what developers do.<\/p>\n If you aim to be someone who writes boilerplate CRUD apps all day, that space is shrinking. But if you can design systems that coordinate tools, services, and AI models, there\u2019s a lot of room.<\/p>\n I saw the same thing in the 90s. Developers who chased the established platforms got stuck. The ones who moved toward the web early had options.<\/p>\nFrom Writing Code to Designing Systems<\/h4>\n
