The Human in the Loop: Leading and Building With AI

40% Better - Engineering Leadership

About
“If you’re already good at what you do, AI is great. If you’re not, don’t expect it to do everything for you.”

Bill talks with Kam Low, a self-taught technical founder who left school early, started and exited several startups while traveling the world, and only became a leader when a team of juniors was handed to him.

They dig into why you can’t lead people like machines, staying lean with AI, why fully automated engineering raises warning bells, and whether teenagers should still learn to code.

Plus: what Claude said when Kam asked what it thought of him.
