How far can you get without a coder?

Hey Reader, Today I'm sitting down with software engineer Brian Coords for a deep dive into how AI is changing software development forever. Our big takeaways:
It's somewhat ironic that software development is one of the first areas to get hit hard by AI, since software developers created AI. But that's the way the cookie crumbles – and Brian and I are here to help you navigate the new rules of building software. Enjoy, – Rob Howard PS. On Tuesday, join us for the free Incubator Demo Day event, where our students will show you the new AI products and processes they've built in the past 60 days. Live and recorded. Add to calendar > |
Innovating with AI
We help entrepreneurs and executives harness the power of AI.
Hey Reader, I had a chance to chat with two big media outlets – Fortune and Mixergy – about AI consulting this week. A lot of people are shocked by the level of demand they're seeing for AI advisory work... but the results we're seeing from our students (which I'll be showing you a lot more of soon) line up with the seemingly wild headlines. • Fortune: AI consultants are being deployed as engineers and getting paid $900 per hour AI consultant Rob Howard told Fortune he wasn’t surprised at...
Hey Reader, Hard truth from last week's messy launch of GPT-5: being the best at training AI models doesn't automatically make you good at delivering consumer products. As I discussed with my AI Consultancy Project students yesterday, this disconnect between technical excellence and user experience creates chaos for the world's most popular companies, and introduces new opportunities for those of us guiding organizations through the AI revolution. The ‘Abrupt Transition’ Problem OpenAI's...
Hey Reader, This week I'm digging into a question that comes up a lot among students – as well as among all my software engineer friends, many of whom have been coding for money for 20+ years. Are coders truly cooked as a result of AI? It's ironic, of course, that the first white-collar job to be replaced by AI is likely to be the job that many of AI's creators held for most of their careers. It also makes a lot of sense – the folks who are making large language models are coders themselves,...
