About Luke and Future of Dev →The approach
What does AI-native mean here?
Use AI as part of how you explore an idea, develop a skill and produce useful work. Learn how to guide it, check its output and decide what to change. The result might be a research process, a project brief, a repeatable workflow or even a working project.
