Welcome - Introduction to AADA, the future of AI in software, and what to expect on this podcast

Welcome to the Augmented Developer Podcast - I'm Evan Vaughan, founder of Augment AI and creator of the Skool community - AI Augmented Developer Academy. This podcast is for developers who see the writing on the wall: AI isn't replacing us, but developers who can't orchestrate AI definitely will be. Each episode, I'll break down real AI integration strategies, tool workflows, and production-level techniques that go way beyond basic prompt engineering. You'll hear deep dives into tools like Claude Desktop for research, MCP services for context management, and Pocketflow for agentic systems. I'll share case studies from my consulting work, interview developers who've made the transition to AI orchestration, and walk through the frameworks that are actually working in production environments. This isn't theory - it's the practical, hands-on approach I teach in my 8-week accelerator program, delivered in bite-sized episodes for developers who are serious about staying ahead of the curve. If you're tired of surface-level AI content and want to learn how to actually integrate these tools into professional workflows, you're in the right place Check out our community for free here: https://www.skool.com/augmented-developers-academy/about
