If you've felt like the show has leaned hard into agentic coding lately, today's episode opens with why: the realistic future of software engineering includes these tools, and pretending otherwise makes this show less useful to you. From there, I want to give you something practical — a transferable skill that will compound in value as LLMs get more capable, and that also makes you a stronger communicator with humans. The skill is learning to speak in **meaning-rich, high-specificity abstractions**.
