Coding Required

Two Minds, One Prompt

2025-12-112 min read

At YoPrint, we meet more than ever. Not less.

The old wisdom said protect your developers. Give them long, uninterrupted blocks. Deep work requires focus. Context switching kills productivity.

That math changed.

When ideas validate in minutes instead of days, the interrupt becomes worth it. Why protect four hours of building when you can confirm the direction in fifteen minutes together?

So we get on calls. We prompt, we watch, we react. Two people thinking out loud while AI generates options. One spots a flaw, the other suggests a pivot, the code adjusts. Real-time iteration.

This is pair programming for the AI age.

The old version had two developers at one keyboard. Slow, expensive, hard to justify. But when AI handles the typing, two humans can focus entirely on thinking. The bottleneck isn't keystrokes anymore. It's judgment. And judgment sharpens in conversation.

We're not protecting focus time the way we used to. We're trading it for faster validation. A quick call to gut-check an approach beats three hours down the wrong path.

AI made building cheap. Deciding what to build is still hard. That's better done together.
