Building with AI: The Developer's Dilemma and How to Solve It | with Jesse Lilly
<p>AI can help almost anyone build something now. But what happens when the thing you built starts handling customer data, running part of your business, or growing beyond what you actually understand?</p><p>Kathryn Good sits down with Jesse Lilly, longtime software developer and co-founder of Cambron, to explore how AI is changing software development and what businesses need to consider as they begin building with it.</p><p>Jesse shares why he's optimistic about the opportunities AI creates while cautioning against confusing a working prototype with a secure, reliable system. He and Kathryn discuss data security, backups, version control, platform dependence, documentation, and when it's time to bring an expert into the process.</p><p>Ultimately, Jesse's advice is simple: start using AI. Experiment. Learn what it's good at. But keep humans involved, follow the business practices that have always mattered, and don't mistake AI for the expert.</p>
