Steven Hascher runs projects at Viget and uses AI every day. He still says the hardest part of the job is staying human: weighing what's said against what's unsaid, what to tell a client, reading the room. viget.com/articles/why-ai-wo…
A front end had to move from Lit to React, and the launch date didn't move. Nathan Schmidt used AI to cut a two-month migration-and-QA job to a few weeks, with a person reviewing every component.
