Why Understanding 'Why' Matters More Than 'How' in the AI Era w/ Olivier Soucy – Part Two
In Part Two, Greg McCallum and Olivier Soucy, founder of Okube, explore the evolving role of developers in a world dominated by AI tools and LLMs.
This episode isn’t just about new technology—it’s about a shift in mindset. From over-reliance on automation to the quiet erosion of creativity in software, Olivier breaks down what’s really happening under the surface of today’s hype cycle.
🎧 In this conversation:
Why soft skills now matter more than technical fluency
The looming risk of homogenised software and cookie-cutter products
How data mismanagement derails innovation before it starts
The impact of AI agents on business operations
Why developers must stop chasing “how” and start understanding “why”
And the real risk of replacing vision with automation
If you’re building, hiring, or just trying to stay relevant in this next wave of AI-native development, this is essential listening.
