Do the Wrong Thing Much Faster with Graham Lee
Graham Lee returns to chat about what it takes to become a software centaur: using AI to get better at the craft, not just faster. We get into why the job was never about typing code, meat proxies and Jevons paradox, his catalog of interaction patterns for AI-augmented development, why a model shouldn't mark its own homework, and Axminster, his UML-based macOS app that gives LLMs a design to follow.
