🤖 Will AI Replace Developers? The Truth


Hey Reader,

I’m back! 🎉 I’ve been on parental leave for the past 2 months, enjoying time with the family. Now I’m diving back into videos and here’s the first one!

🎥 Watch it now:

Here’s the TL;DR if you can’t click right now:

AI can already write code, fix bugs, and explain complex concepts.

So… are we doomed?

No. AI isn’t replacing developers anytime soon.

But: Developers who use AI will replace those who don’t.

The best devs are using GPT to:

  • Skip repetitive work
  • Prototype faster
  • Learn quicker
  • Get unstuck in minutes

Here’s the secret: they stay in control. They review, question, and decide. AI writes more, but we still lead.

The job is evolving:

  • Less boilerplate, more big-picture thinking
  • More design, collaboration, and code review

So the real question is: Are you learning to use AI well? Because if you are, you’ll be more valuable than ever.

🎯 Go deeper: Watch the full video here for my workflow, examples, and how I use GPT in .NET development.

💡 Coming soon: I’m working on a brand new course - .NET with AI for Beginners - where I’ll show you how to use GPT to build projects from scratch. It’s not out yet, but you can join the waiting list here.

Take care,

Patrick

Hey friend, I just released a new video and I think you’ll enjoy it. In the video, I ask GitHub Copilot to build a .NET Web API using a short, vague prompt. The result works, but the structure feels random and messy. Then I run the same idea again with a stronger prompt that forces a clean structure. Feature folders. Vertical slice. Mediator. Fluent Validation. The difference is night and day. Watch the video here 👇 Enjoy the breakdown and let me know what you think. Take care, Patrick P.S....

Hey friend, I just released a new video showing a better way to use GitHub Copilot in real .NET projects. Watch it here 👇 If you ever felt like Copilot starts strong but then your code slowly turns into chaos, you’re not alone. It happens to most developers when they start using AI without giving it the right guidance. In the video, I show you one simple file you can add to your project that keeps your code clean, structured, and consistent. No guessing. No random patterns. Just a clear...

Hey friend, I just published a new video that walks you through how to upgrade to .NET 10. Watch it here 👇 If you're already trying the update, you may have seen this: the app builds no errors but… Blazor doesn't load That happened in my project too. And the fix is small, but easy to miss. In the video, I show: how to update the target frameworks how to update NuGet packages what changed for Blazor and how to fix the missing static assets issue No hype. Just a clear step-by-step walkthrough....
