Ukukhangisa i-AIpocalypse: I-Strategy Essential for Developers

Facing the AIpocalypse With Eyes Open, and a Plan to Win

Xa ndicinga malunga ne-AI ekuphenduleni iimveliso zeengcali, iimveliso, okanye i-AI i-business automation, ndifumene imibuzo ezimbini ezininzi:

• "Ukunciphisa, i-AI ayikwazanga." Enye umntu waza wathi, "Intelligent yakho iyathintela!"
• “Yey, bro, it is wild. It has a lot to deal with.”

Ndingathanda i-optimism, kodwa ndingathanda, ukuguqulwa kwakhona. Iya kuqala, kwaye abaninzi abalandeli kunye nabasetyhini ziya kukufanelekisa kunye nokuphumelela kule ukuxhaswa okuqinile.

Ndiyakuthanda imibuzo yam eyenziwe kwaye ndingathanda ukuvelisa nge-AI. Ukubala umzimba wakho kwi-sand like a ostrich kwaye ukholelwa ukuba oku akuyona.Yintoni i-Strategy.

Ukulungiselela FTW.

Ngoko ke, yintoni iingcebiso zayo kumadoda we-software emzimbeni yokutshintshwa kwiminyaka emininzi?

Ukufundisa i-AI - Ngaba kungenxa apho uye uye

• I-Junior Dev? Ukufundisa i-AI.
• Ingcinezeli Senior? Ukufundisa AI.
• I-Software Product Lead, Team Lead, CTO? Learn AI.

Yintoni i-tech, leyo ndidumileyo nangona kunjalo. Ukusabela ekugqibeleni kwinkqubo ye-shift iya kutshintshela.

Indlela yokufunda i-AI njenge-dev

I-I-Automation i-experiment ye-I.I. I-I. I-I.I. I-I.I. I-I.I. I-I.I. I-I.I. I-I.I. I-I.I. I-I.I.I. I-I.I.I. I-I.I.I. I-I.I.I. I-I.I.I.I.I. I-I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I

Ngiyazi: abantu abaninzi, abaninzi abaninzi be-software bafumane i-AI. Abaninzi nathi bafumane kwaye bafumane izinto, kodwa siye kwinqanaba.

Umzekelo omnye: uya kufuneka iiyure okanye iiyure ezimbini nge-ChatGPT.

Ukufundisa i-Landscape

I-AI engaphezulu kwe-ChatGPT kuphela. I-LLM, i-agents, i-workflows, i-memory, kunye neengxaki ezininzi ezahlukileyo ze-modelling. I-AI ingaba kwi-fundamentally search-up tool, kodwa phantse ngosuku zonke, i-team entsha isetyenziselwa ukwenza into ezintsha.

My advice:

• Read Hacker News, HackerNoon, X, kunye ProfitSwarm.ai

Ukufundisa ukufikelela kwi-AI

Ukulungiselela imvume yobungcali. Ukuba unemvume kwi-PRDs okanye i-sales copy, xa unayo i-avantage. I-quality ye-AI outputs yakho ikhona ngokupheleleyo kwi-quality ye-input yakho (i-prompts).

My advice:

• Fumana ukufumana i-AI APIs nge-prompts ezininzi kunye ne-dynamic
• Play kunye ne-AI image gene tools
• Ukusebenza ukucacisa imiphumo ngezindlela ezifanelekileyo
• Ukufundisa i-model quirks & i-master system prompts
• Ukufundisa i-automation tooling (i-Gumloop, i-Lindy, i-n8n, njl)

I-Vibe Shift

Iiposi zayo ezidlulileyo ezimbini kwi-HackerNoon zihambe. I-vibe ye-coding i-exploded, yaye iye yaba i-niche ye-drama emangalisayo kwi-AI ngomhla elidlulileyo.

... Kodwa ndingathanda ukuba ezi zibonakalayo ziyafumaneka ngokufanelekileyo.

Vibe coding is legit for good developers.

Kwamanye amazwe, kunokuba lula kwaye elungileyo kwi-prototyping. Kodwa asikwazi ukuvelisa ikhowudi efanelekileyo, elawulwa, elinganayo.

Kwimingcali abo abakhusela i-vibe encoding, kuyinto umnqweno.

Ngokuya ngo-April 2025, i-Vibe Coding Smart iyona:

• I-non-technical people: Usebenzisa i-AI ukuba i-prototype kunye ne-learn. Just don't assume it outputs production-ready code
• I-Junior devs: Sebenzisa ukufundisa kunye nokukhutshwa kwe-logic yakho yokubhaliweyo, kodwa uchofoze, uchofoze, uchofoze
• Senior engineers/full-stack devs: AI is excellent at:
  • Quick prototyping
  • Fast (if bland) UI work
  • Writing boilerplate code (e.g., CRUD / DAL basics)

Nangona kunjalo, i-AIIngaba unemibuzoYintoni:

• Ukhuseleko
• Ukuvumelana
• Ukucaciswa
• Ukucaciswa
• Qhagamshelana Framework

Ngokusebenza kakuhle kunye nokukhuthaza i-PRDs, i-specifics emangalisayo, kunye ne-lashkin layouts, emva kokukhuthaza ikhowudi, sinokufumana imiphumo emangalisayo.

Ukusetyenziswa njenge-Software Engineer? Ukusetyenzisa i-AI kwisiseko yakho.

I-Engineer yinto enhle; kunokuba ibhizinisi elidumileyo. Kodwa ngokwenene, kufuneka uqhagamshelane kwimveliso yakho ye-AI, okanye ubuncinane uqhagamshelane kwi-transition. Ukuba ayikho, ungenza ukuba uyaphumelela ngexesha elide ngexesha le-2026.

• Zifumaneke iiprojekthi yakho ukuyifaka izixhobo kunye nokukhuthaza inkampani yakho
• Yenza iinkcukacha zokusebenza kwi-AI
• Qaphela iimveliso ze-AI ezinxulumene kwimarike
• Be forward-thinking about automation
• Ingaba uxhomekeke ukuba umntu; abantu akufuneka umsebenzi yabo, kwaye ukuguqulwa ngokufanelekileyo inikeza ukuxhaswa. Oku kunokufumana njenge-escalation / i-conflict; ukuxhaswa ngokufanelekileyo

(Note:Zonke iindidi kunye ne-software ezihlawulwayo ziya kubaluleke kakhulu ukuchithwa kwe-AI; bheka i-healthcare, i-finance, njl. Kodwa awukwazi ukuchithwa ngokupheleleyo, bheka indlela yokusetyenziswa kwe-AI ngaphandle kokuthintela abantu okanye ukunciphisa izixazululo zomthetho.)

Khetha Line yakho, Exit Strategies & CRAFT

I-AI itshintshela umsebenzi lethu. Kwimeko apho abantu ziya kubasebenzi isofthiwe ngexesha elidlulileyo ayinayo. Nceda uqhagamshelane nathi ngexesha elidlulileyo.

• If your job pivots to managing AI employees, do you still want to do it?

• Is software engineering your craft? Do you want to compete in a market rife with AI clone factories?

• Will you enjoy a day-to-day work life with far fewer humans in it?

  
  

  

Zonke nathi unxibelelwano: A range of environmental variables that are nourishing, or even just acceptable.

Kukho amathuba ukuba i-pivot, i-retrain, i-accept, okanye i-refuse i-AI njenge-part of our workflows.

Ukucacisa umgca bakho ngaphambi kokuba uqhagamshelane.

Strategy Examples:

• Iimpawu ezininzi ze-software ziyafumaneka ngokufanelekileyo ngokuvamile ukugcina i-humane developer craft
• Olandelayo ingaba ukufumana kakhulu kwi-automating kunye ne-happy wrangling bots
• Ingaba ungayibhalisa kwi-consulting okanye i-career epheleleyo

(Qhagamshelana nathi ukuba ungenze le nceda njengoko iingcebiso yokuzonwabisa. Ndingathanda nje ukucinga!)

Ukusuka ku IRL

Enye umnqweno ndingathanda (kuba ndingathanda ukuba ziya kuba enkulu ngexesha le-2026) i-pivot yobugcisa kwiinkampani ze-IRL.

Ndingathanda ukuba uvule:

• umphathi we-boat
• Yenza i-gigant sculptures
• Ukuqhagamshelwano Smallholding
• Yenza iimveliso eziqhelekileyo

... okanye ndingathanda ukuba ndingathanda nje .

I-Software kunye ne-logic ziyafumaneka, kodwa i-IRL 'inkonzo' kunokwenzeka, inikeza iingxaki ezintsha, kwaye inikeza ithuba elide.

I-Tech ingaba ukunyusa umdla kwi-apps ye-hand-crafting. Yenza i-copycats i-1000 iiyure ezininzi kakhulu, yenza i-race ukuya kwegazi.

Ngokuqhelekileyo, kunokuba kukho iziphumo ezininzi zethu kwi-IRL kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo.

Kwakhona, ndiya kukufaka iingcali zayo zebhizinisi ze-digital ngeengcali ezininzi ze-analog.

I-Aipocalypse Prep yam

Ndingathanda ngokubanzi. Ndingathanda ukuba i-AI iyakwazi ukuvelisa iziphumo ezilungileyo kumadoda. Kodwa ndingathanda le nqaku:

"Invert, always invert." - algebraist Carl Jacobi, via Charlie Munger

I-AI ine-potency enkulu ye-mass career changes, kodwa nangona iinkonzo ezininzi kwizinto ezimbini.

Yintoni ndingathanda ukuvelisa nge-AI:

• Ukukhangisa kwi-AI ngempumelelo (ukwenza umxholo yokwenza i-AI ye-100% yebhizinisi kule nyaka - ProfitSwarm.ai)
• Ukwenza ukufundisa ukusetyenziswa kwe-AI ingxenye yesiseko yam
• Ndicwangcisa ngokuqhubekayo, kwaye ndicwangcisa ukufikelela kwi-values yam kunye ne-humanity yam. (i-AI is super experimental ngoku)
• Ukubhanjiswa kwe-digital living kunye ne-IRL living
• Ukukhangisa ngokuchofoza iimfuno ze-biz yendawo

I-AI ingaba i-steen ye-philosopher okanye i-axe ye-management consultant. Uyazi.

Ndiyathanda apho i-AI uqhuba nathi

Ukuba ufuna uqhagamshelane kunye nezifundo zayo ze-AI ye-business automation, ungakwazi ukufikelela kwiUkucinga.ai.

Ndingathanda ukuba i-AI yenza i-stone ye-philosopher yam, okanye i-explode ngokufanelekileyo. Thina nqakraza apho kuthatha kwakhona.
