Being anti-hype does not mean being anti-AI

Taking time to learn before speaking up

Do you feel pressure to have an opinion on every new technology the moment it drops?

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, Aaron and I finally talk about AI. It took us 147 episodes to get here, and we explain why that was intentional.

We discuss the difference between speaking with authority and feeling rushed to comment prematurely. Sometimes zooming out and understanding the bigger picture matters more than memorizing every detail. And being a slower adopter is not something you need to apologize for.

  • 00:00 Why we haven't talked about AI yet
  • 01:00 Building deep knowledge before sharing opinions
  • 02:30 AI moves faster than JavaScript frameworks
  • 04:30 Zoom out before sweating the details
  • 06:15 Every stage of the learning cycle matters
  • 07:45 Silly bit
