Artificial Intelligence: Software, Work, and Creative Practice

AI makes it easier to start a project and faster to try an idea. It does not remove the need to decide what to build, check the work, and take responsibility for the result. These posts bring together research on software development, my own experience of building with AI, and writing on its effects beyond code.

If you are making something, start with the first group. If you want the wider view of jobs, business, or creative work, continue to the second.

Build with AI

• AI and Software Developers examines productivity claims alongside code quality, security, jobs, and a workflow that keeps human judgment in the loop.
• From Using AI to Building With AI is a personal account of returning to software projects, starting small, and learning through use and iteration.
• Meet the Builder Economy considers what AI-assisted tools can mean for people and small teams turning experience into products and services.

Work, power, and creative fields

The effects of AI extend beyond a developer’s tools. These pieces look at who benefits, who makes decisions, and how particular industries respond.

• The Future of Work: How AI Is Redefining the Workplace in 2025 is a dated look at workplace change. Read it as a 2025 snapshot rather than a current forecast.
• Who Controls Fashion’s AI Future? asks how a creative field uses AI and who gets to shape its direction.
• Nvidia’s Empire Is Taking Shape Beyond the Chip follows the wider technology stack and the concentration of power around it.
