Why AI-First Development Is Going to Cost You More in the Long Run

Matthew Brimer — Mon, 18 May 2026 20:12:20 GMT

There’s a narrative taking hold right now that goes something like this: AI can write all the code, you don’t need as many developers, and the ones you do keep just need to be fast with a prompt.

The website you choose is not just about design or code—it becomes the foundation of your presence, your credibility, and in many ways, your confidence.
