AlteredCraft

AlteredCraft helps software developers navigate AI disruption with practical insights and honest perspective. I'm Sam Keen, a 26-year engineering veteran with experience at AWS, Lululemon, and Nike.

Through AlteredCraft, I publish multiple times a week, (since May, 2023), research and analysis on how AI tools, coding agents, and generative AI are reshaping software development. I focus on the questions working developers actually have: Which tools matter?

What skills stay relevant? How do you adapt without losing what makes you good at this? No hype. No doom. Just thoughtful exploration of where software craftsmanship goes from here. Subscribe at https://alteredcraft.com
