Claude Crumbs: The Little Book of Future Problems

AI can write code faster than most of us can describe the problem. That’s the good news.

The catch is that building software has never just been about writing code. It’s about making decisions today that won’t come back to haunt you six months from now. In this episode, Rob and Justin unpack what happened after Justin and Kellan built a real application with AI. The code came together quickly. The architecture, the maintenance, and the “why on earth did we do it this way?” moments took a little longer.

Along the way they discovered something that applies far beyond software development. AI can help you build almost anything, but it still depends on people to define the patterns, document the rules, and recognize when today’s shortcut quietly becomes tomorrow’s technical debt. Sometimes the smallest notes left behind become the biggest lessons later.

If you’re building with AI, or simply trying to understand where human judgment still matters, this episode is worth the time. It turns out the future has a funny way of leaving breadcrumbs.
