Today, I got to introduce the AI interns to new topics like dogfooding*, cyclomatic complexity, BEM, JSON:API, and why interfaces are so useful. It was great to nerd out with them! Their excitement was contagious, and I was impressed to learn their code review for the chatbot was their first time working with React and web development.

Seeing that “aha!” moment when they first create something—there’s nothing like it.

For you Gen Z and Alphas: “dogfooding” means using your own product, just like your users do, so you feel the same issues and can fix them. It’s like making sure the dog food you’re serving is good—because you’re eating it too**!

** Don’t eat dog food - unless it’s a biscuit, I guess, but you do you.
