Talking Tech: AI Does It Better Than Me. Now What?

If AI can write code for you, what should engineers actually be getting better at?

In this episode of Talking Tech, Nick Boulton is joined by Mike Mindel, founder of Wordtracker and Webventurer. Mike launched Wordtracker in 1998, the first keyword tool, which helped kick off the SEO industry. Today he's evolving the product for a world where AEO and SEO work side by side.

Mike has been coding since the age of 8, and AI has changed how he works. He's now freed from the drudgery and can take far bigger steps than before, while still treating coding as a craft. He and Nick discuss why engineering is increasingly about the level of thinking you bring, and how context and intent engineering help guide AI agents.

Mike also shares his advice for anyone starting out in engineering today: build small things people actually use, and choosing a niche you're passionate about.
