Your Job Isn’t Coding Anymore. It’s Managing the AI That Codes.
Manage AI before it manages you.
Coding used to be about syntax. Now it’s about prompts.
Omo, are you ready to manage the machines that will manage your code?
Let’s talk, bruv.
There was a time I couldn’t solve a bug without running to Stack Overflow like my life depended on it.
Hours wasted, tabs open everywhere, copying random solutions and praying they work.
But somewhere along the line... things changed.
Now? I barely leave my code editor.
Between GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and even Anthropic’s Claude, I became self-sufficient.
Copy the error, paste it in Cursor, tweak a few prompts... boom.
Solution dey ! everywhere soft !.
It wasn’t magic — it was a mindset shift.
Instead of googling problems, I started reasoning inside my coding environment.
Learning while fixing. Growing faster than ever.
That’s when I realized: AI wasn’t just helping me code — it was changing how I worked.
And bro, it was mad. (In a good way.)
The Real Hustle: Deadlines No Send You
Let’s be real — at work, when issues needs to be ASAP! nobody dey really ask how you fixed the bug.
They just want the feature live by Monday 9AM sharp.
I’m currently building an Elite Talent feature at my 9–5 ,handling some talent mock interview apis too and im talking:Schemas, controllers, ClickUp tasks flying around like crazy.
Pressure full ground.
When deadline dey chase you, you no get time to dey debug manually for 5 hours.
i mean you can debug for 5 hours , but be ready to jump on a call and explain why you’re not effective or fast and if this will be your expected pace!
”Cursor and Copilot save lives. Period.”
The trick?
Use the AI tools, but still review the code with sense.
Quick wins are cool, but long-term skill will still be your passport in this industry.
Omo, AI Will Either Bless You or Expose You
If I could talk to a 20-year-old dev just starting out, I go tell am plain:
Bruv, AI go make you feel like coding na small thing.
But don’t skip the basics.
Learn your syntax.
Understand how your frameworks work.
Know the WHY behind your code.
Because one day, real wahala go land:
You’ll need to fix a weird bug manually...
Or explain a database query on the spot...
Or build something from scratch without any "help"...
And if you no sabi the foundation, you go dey look like mumu.
E go choke.
Speed is great. Mastery is greater.
You get me?
Life Update: Building, Growing, Preparing for Something Big
While AI is upgrading the hustle, life no slow down too.
We just crossed 200 subscribers here. (Omo, una too much!)
Our Discord community is wrapping up our second dev project.
I’m still juggling my 9–5 work, grinding on features, dreaming bigger things.
Big announcement coming soon.
Something I’ve been cooking for the community.
Stay locked in.
Who Wins? Who Falls Behind?
The Winners:
Developers who see AI as a partner, not a threat
Builders who can think beyond the prompt
Coders who design, review, and direct machines like orchestra conductors
The Losers:
Those clinging to "how it’s always been done"
Those mistaking typing code for building systems
Those who refuse to adapt because "my workflow is fine"
Spoiler:
The market doesn’t care about your comfort zone.
Five years from now, the best developers won't be the ones who write the cleanest syntax.
They’ll be the ones who:
Think bigger than code
Lead teams of human + AI collaboration
Build faster, smarter systems—without getting lost in the weeds
You can either manage the machines that manage the code...
Or be managed by those who do.
The choice is now.
