The Way We Use AI Will Completely Change in 2026 (Hot Takes)
The IDE is dying. So is tool calling. OpenAI won't win. And you'll be shipping code you've never read even as an experienced engineer. The way we use AI for agents and writing code is going to look COMPLETELY different in 2026. In this video, I cover my predictions (some are definitely hot takes) and why they matter for you right now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - If you want to build reliable AI agents powered by APIs you can trust, check out the Postman AI Agent Builder (thanks to Postman for working with me on this!): https://fandf.co/4i1V5es ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Join me on Saturday, November 29th at 9:00 AM CST for my next livestream! I'll be unveiling my new system for remote agentic coding and giving it away to you, but ONLY during the event itself!
