    70. How to Stop AI From Replacing You

    You’ve probably seen the headlines about AI replacing developers, but is AI really coming for our jobs, or is there more going on? In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening in the tech industry and how you can use AI to make sure you don’t get left behind. We talk about the role of AI in layoffs, how it’s changing software development, and why this shift is more evolution than extinction. We cover real-world examples, practical use cases for AI as a developer, and why companies are now hiring for AI skills. Plus, we explain key AI concepts like LLMs, prompts, agents, and tokenisation in classic Hot Girls Code fashion. We also share some of our hot tips on how to use AI as a tool so it can be your bestie instead of your enemy! Whether you’re curious, cautious, or fully on board with AI, this episode will help you understand how to work with it—not against it!
