Down to earth conversations about AI. This is a podcast about how real people are actually using AI — not in theory, not in the headlines, but in their everyday work. From teachers to developers, lawyers to writers, students to entrepreneurs, we talk to people across industries about what's working and what's not. Because yes—life might be about to change as we know it. But right now, in this moment, a fascinating tool has been invented. And we want to figure out how to use it. After all, it’s not the end of the world… yet.

#005 – Coding with LLMs, the "who wrote this?" problem, & prompt mastery — Front End Lead, Ben Kemp

Front End Lead Ben Kemp (CyberOwl; ex-Citi & Shell) joins us to unpack how AI is reshaping software work—10× code output, QA as the new choke point, and why “prompting” is fast becoming everyone’s core skill. We get practical too: fridge-photo recipe hacks, durable prompt habits, and where to draw the line on using AI for emotional support. It’s not the end of the world—it’s a recalibration.

Highlights

What a front-end dev actually does vs UX design
How ChatGPT/Claude & GitHub Copilot changed day-to-day coding
Hiring tests in the LLM era & the “who wrote this?” problem
QA as the bottleneck and why it’s more valuable than ever
Three quick tips: fridge-to-recipe, prompt stacks, and using AI for reassurance (with caveats)
