## Description

AI is making software cheaper to produce, but not necessarily better. We need to reframe our roles as designers and engineers as quality stewardship: making intent legible, running fast verification loops, and building workflows that compound learning over time. This talk offers durable principles and concrete habits for using AI to explore more, ship faster, and still deliver software that feels coherent, resilient, and well-crafted.
