Story

At the Amsterdam/online summit (June 11–15), Dodds walked through "How I Build Web Applications in 2026," building a real full-stack app live in Cursor (GitNation). The value is in the specifics of how a testing-and-quality-focused educator sequences AI into production work, a practitioner's workflow, not a hype reel. Useful counterweight to the "coding is going away" framing, and it pairs well with the Willison piece above.
