Why this topic matters

AI is changing software development. The opportunity is no longer simply writing code faster, but learning to direct AI that can help understand, build, test, and improve software. Codex gives individuals tremendous leverage, but capability without direction can create mistakes just as quickly. This lesson teaches you to use Codex as an engineering partner while keeping human judgment, responsibility, and control firmly in the pilot's seat.
