🤖 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 Reader, If you’re a Blazor developer, you know that annoying flash when your app loads data during pre-rendering. It’s been around forever. Sure, you could disable pre-rendering, but then you'd hurt performance and SEO. Well… with .NET 10, we finally have a real fix: the new Persistent State Attribute. 🎉 🎥 Watch my full tutorial about it here: In this video, I walk you through: ✅ What causes the flashing issue ✅ Why disabling pre-rendering isn’t ideal ✅ How the new Persistent State...

Hey Reader, Last week, I tested GPT-5 Agent Mode on .NET and Blazor apps, and the results were surprising. This week, I went a step further. I used GitHub Copilot inside Visual Studio and asked it to create real .NET and Blazor projects for me. Here’s what happened: Copilot generated a working calculator app in C#. It built a Web API that responded with “Hello GPT-5 Agents.” It even created a Blazor app with extra features like a reset button, a plus five counter, and a weather API. Were...

Hey Reader, I just published a new video where I put GPT-5’s Agent Mode to the test. 🚀 Instead of asking it for something simple, I went all in: A .NET 9 console app calculator A Web API with endpoints and docs A Blazor Server app with extra counter buttons And even a Blazor app that calls a public weather API 🎥 Watch it now: In the video, I didn’t just type “make me an app” and hope for the best. I gave GPT-5 very specific prompts, like: “Please create a .NET 9 console application that works...
