One of my first posts when starting this blog was a YouTube video. It’s been a long time since then, but as a senior developer with a quarter-century of experience, this one rings true. That said, I believe it’s essential in 2026 to see what A.I. says about code. Skipping that’s malpractice, IMHO. But trusting it when shipping production code, without review, is too.

In 2025 A.I. was like an intern coding. This year it’s like a junior dev. It’s truly getting better, and saves a lot of time. But it still needs a human in the loop. This video answers the question, “But why?” well. Perhaps next month that will all change. Things are moving fast…. real fast.
