AI is everywhere right now. It can write code, generate content, fix bugs, and give you a starting point in seconds. But if you’re an entrepreneur building a real product, you’ve probably already realized something important: AI alone isn’t enough.
In this 10 Minute Tech Talk, we are joined again by Greg Lutz from Mescius, a Pittsburgh-based software company that’s spent decades building tools for developers who need to move fast and build things that actually work in the real world. In this clip, Greg shares a grounded, practical perspective on where AI truly adds value, where it can lead you astray, and why purpose-built development tools still matter more than ever.
If you’re using AI to accelerate your work but wondering how to turn those quick wins into sustainable software, this conversation is exactly what you need to hear.
