I'm Scott Frees - computer science professor, software developer, and consultant. I teach students how to become the kind of engineers who still bring a huge value-add in the age of AI - by learning to leverage AI tools and agentic principles, not just write code. I apply the same approach in my work with organizations, helping them build systems that solve real-world problems. This blog is where those two roles intersect—where I think out loud about how AI is transforming not just what we build, but how we build it, who builds it, and what skills will matter tomorrow.
