✍️ A Spotlight from Andrew Glago, Developer at pubGENIUS (🇬🇭 Ghana)

We asked our team: “What’s one specific way AI has improved your work?” Here’s what Andrew shared and it’s genuinely insightful.

The Big Shift: No More Language or Framework Barriers

Before AI, hitting an unfamiliar tech stack was a real roadblock. The classic example: “This software needs a bug fix, but it’s written in PHP 3.”

A task like that could take a week of learning the language, mapping the architecture, and debugging carefully.

Now it’s a non-issue. What used to take a week now takes hours. AI helps me understand the code, find the issue, and then focus on delivering value for the customer.

Favorite Tool: Granola AI

A big part of Andrew’s week is bouncing between planning calls, stand-ups, and syncs. Keeping track of everything used to be tough.

Now he can jot down quick, messy notes during meetings, and Granola enriches them using the transcript.

Afterward, he can search through the conversation or even chat with his notes.

The best part? No “note taker bot” awkwardly joining the meeting. It just works quietly in the background.

By 2026, AI Will Change What We Build

Software engineering has been a perfect sandbox for AI because it has structure, rules, and instant feedback loops. That’s why tools like Copilot took off so fast.

But this is only the beginning.

Imagine:

• 🎬 A “Cursor for video editing”

• 📐 A “Copilot for CAD design”

• 🧠 A Notion-style tool that thinks with you during product strategy

We’re not just speeding up our work. We’re opening the door for entire industries to build differently.

🙏 Shoutout to Andrew for sharing his perspective. If you’re a developer using AI in interesting ways — or surviving legacy PHP — we’d love to hear your story too.
