Listen "#005 – Coding with LLMs, the "who wrote this?" problem, & prompt mastery — Front End Lead, Ben Kemp"
Episode Synopsis
Front End Lead Ben Kemp (CyberOwl; ex-Citi & Shell) joins us to unpack how AI is reshaping software work—10× code output, QA as the new choke point, and why “prompting” is fast becoming everyone’s core skill.
