Did we overpromise about AI?

We asked 3 engineers the question everyone's thinking. Three practitioners: Paweł (developer, RPA process automation), Jakub (MindPal), and Adam (DevOps engineer, creator of custom MCP tools), have an honest conversation about what working with AI actually looks like in 2026: from everyday tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, local models), through security concerns and API key handling, to the question of how much of AI is hype versus a real shift in how we work and write code. In the second half, the conversation turns to the future - predictions for the next year and beyond, the cost of AI infrastructure, robotics, and whether investing in AI actually pays off for companies. It wraps up with audience questions on LLM subscription pricing, hardware for running local models, work-life balance in the AI era, and how to price client work.
