AI has made writing code faster than ever. But speed isn’t the differentiator anymore.
In this episode of Beyond the Build, we talk about engineering taste, what it actually means, why it matters more in an AI-driven world, and how to develop it intentionally.
We explore why taste matters more than ever when AI has democratized technical competence, and how it's becoming the ultimate bottleneck in modern software development.
We break down the 5 axes of developing taste, reveal how to build it through comparison rather than creation, and expose the biggest enemies of taste.
