There is a moment every builder remembers: the first time they used AI not just to write a snippet, but to actually construct a working system. This episode explores what that experience teaches — about the nature of AI collaboration, about your own role as the human in the loop, and about why the first system changes how you think about building forever. It matters now because thousands of builders are crossing that threshold for the first time, and knowing what to expect changes everything. Produced by VoxCrea.AI This episode is part of an ongoing series on governing AI-assisted coding using Claude Code. 👉 Each episode has a companion article — breaking down the key ideas in a clearer, more structured way. If you want to go deeper (and actually apply this), read today’s article here: 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 At aijoe.ai, we build AI-powered systems like the ones discussed in this series.
