    Video Description:

    Brett, a software engineer with 20 years of experience, talked about the toll AI coding tools have taken on his mental health, his craft, and his career.

We talked about the unsustainability of the AI coding industry, the widespread deskilling of developers, and why reconnecting with the craft of writing code by hand might be the most important thing a software engineer can do right now.
