Laracasts

Jeffrey Wei reflects on how AI coding agents have fundamentally transformed his development workflow and business. While AI has devastated his educational platform's business model (forcing 40% staff cuts as developers need less traditional learning), he's personally experiencing unprecedented productivity and enjoyment in programming. He describes transitioning from writing code line-by-line to a developer-driven AI approach where he architects solutions and reviews agent-generated code. Despite initial resistance to this shift away from traditional coding, he's accepted that adaptation is necessary as AI represents a permanent change rather than a passing trend.

<p>Honest video. But my snippy point is that I think AI actually is a trend today. There is too much money put in this technology. Without much profit. We will see real capabilities and costs of AI after easy money will go somewhere else.</p>
