A course on AI-assisted development turns out to be fundamentally about timeless software engineering principles: requirements gathering, types and testing, architecture and codebase design, and backlog prioritization. The core insight is that AI is merely an implementation detail, and solid software fundamentals from 20 years ago remain the essential foundation.

The more I work on this course, the more I realise it's just teaching 20-year old software fundamentals

- Requirements gathering
- Types &amp; testing
- Architecture &amp; codebase design
- Backlog prioritization

The AI is just an implementation detail
