After years at an AI-first company, Ibrahim Diallo has seen the reality behind the hype: AI accounted for less than 10% of the actual work. In this episode, he breaks down:
Why building with AI isn’t about the AI itself, but everything around it
The uncomfortable truth about "AI-powered" startups solving problems that don’t exist
When AI actually delivers value (and when it’s just an expensive crutch)
Why natural language tech isn’t new—and what that means for today’s LLM boom
No sensationalism, no futurism—just a veteran developer’s clear-eyed take on when AI works, when it doesn’t, and why we’re using it wrong.
