AI can generate code, but it can’t replace the human eye for design. Game artists, trained in composition, color theory, and spatial storytelling, are uniquely positioned to shape the next generation of software interfaces.

LLM-powered agents can simulate QA, security, and architecture expertise well enough to catch 80% of the issues a human reviewer would. The question is whether that last 20% still justifies the cost of a dedicated specialist.

Vibe coding is great for prototypes, but production software still needs guardrails. Here’s why AI-generated code demands the same SDLC discipline we’ve always applied, and how an 8-stage agent pipeline keeps things from falling apart.

How I built GoPro’s developer program from zero infrastructure to 330+ partners including NASA, Google, and BMW. Lessons learned about launching developer ecosystems from nothing.

If on-demand software is the future, interoperability is its foundation. JSON Schema, OpenAPI, MCP, and llms.txt are becoming the standards that determine whether AI-generated tools can actually talk to each other.
