Senior Developers Haven't Written Code in Months?!?

The industry has fundamentally shifted. Developers with decades of experience are openly admitting they haven't written a line of manual code in months.

Plus, we answer a listener question on salary negotiation and explain exactly how one 5-minute conversation can replace 6 years of grinding for annual 3% raises.
