The Discipline of AI Engineering

AI-assisted development has moved past the novelty phase, and the builders who are succeeding are not just better at prompting — they are treating AI development as a real discipline with structure, standards, and deliberate practice. This episode explores what it means to approach AI engineering as a craft rather than a shortcut, and why that distinction is becoming the dividing line between systems that hold up and systems that quietly fall apart. The moment we are in right now demands a new word for what serious AI builders actually do.
