On Using AI To Make Software (in early 2026) - March 29th, 2026
A practical look at AI in software development from the perspective of a working software engineer: where LLMs and coding agents actually help across the SDLC, and where the hype outruns reality. This essay explores AI coding workflows, production software, prompt loops, code review, testing, operations, and the skills software engineers need as syntax generation gets cheaper and faster.
