AI is going to take our jobs!!! Have you heard this statement yet? Better said, have you heard this statement a million times yet? Well, this week the guys interview someone who tells Caleb and Chris from firsthand experience that we have a right to be concerned!

The guys have a really interesting and technical conversation with full-stack web developer Jody LeCompte, who discusses the rapid evolution of technology and its impact on the labor market. He reflects on his journey from a 90s "internet kid" to a specialized tech professional that’s now facing modern AI-driven industry shifts that not only is impacting his personal livelihood, but his entire industry.

LeCompte explores the transition from the mobile app era to the current artificial intelligence epoch, noting how tools like Claude and ChatGPT are now performing tasks once reserved for senior engineers (like him). He encourages entrepreneurs to experiment with AI to automate menial tasks, suggesting that while the technology presents unprecedented challenges (employment and otherwise), it also offers a chance to reclaim time for human connection and faith. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the necessity of reskilling in a world where the boundary between human intelligence and machine automation is increasingly blurred.
