In this episode of Algo Ego, Jason and Lisa take on leadership in the age of AI: not the abstract, Harvard-weekend version, but the real questions facing anyone who manages people, builds teams, or raises kids in a world where unlimited processing power is sitting right next to you. They debate whether AI kills leadership or demands more of it, why the liberal arts may be more relevant now than ever, what happens when entry-level classes shrink and the school of hard knocks loses its enrollment, and whether AI board members are as far-fetched as they sound. Lisa pushes back on ageism, champions the builder mentality, and draws on their family’s experience with military leadership training.

Then Jason is joined by Dor Israeli, CTO of Gain, who describes what it’s actually like to lead a software team when one developer can ship 13 features in a day, and why decision fatigue, not code quality, is the new bottleneck. They explore the widening gap between senior and junior developers, why AI slop is already becoming a thing of the past, and how bringing along the average developer may be the hardest leadership challenge of all.
