Why AI Made Software Engineers More Human

"AI scribes are just a feature. The record of clinical judgment is the moat."

I talked with Kush Shah, founder and CEO of Noted Dent, on Startup Hustle this week. Noted Dent uses AI to handle clinical documentation for dentists, so practitioners aren't stuck writing notes at 11pm or on the weekend, and so they're covered when the auditors and health funds come knocking.

Here's what you'll get out of it:

⚡ Why vibe coding gets you to an MVP and no further, and why Kush deleted 8,000 lines of AI-generated code in three months

⚡ Why the job of a software engineer has changed, and how AI has actually made it more human

⚡ Why demand, not product, is the hardest thing in any business, even eight years in

⚡ Why startups are the best place for young engineers to learn, and why job-title silos hold them back

⚡ What actually makes the leap to CEO so hard when you come from a technical background

If you're a technical founder, an engineer eyeing your next move, or anyone building in a regulated space, this one is worth your time.
