In this episode we sit down with Vasiliy Zukanov, Android performance and architecture expert, creator of Tech Your Chance, and one of the most respected (and most contrarian) voices the Android community has had for years.

We hand him the question quietly keeping senior developers up at night: if AI generates almost everything we build, are we about to lose the skill of writing code for good?

What follows is one of the most honest conversations we've had on this channel.

3 questions we couldn't stop thinking about afterwards:
→ If you stop writing code, what exactly are you still being paid for?
→ Is the Android job market really collapsing — or is everyone reading the data backwards?
→ And the skill of writing code… is it something worth protecting, or something we were always meant to let go of?

We also get into the deprecation of Views, what he honestly thinks of Jetpack Compose, native vs cross-platform in 2026, the personal project he went silent for a year and a half to build, and a round of rapid-fire questions you won't want to skip.

Press play. You'll finish this one with a very different idea of what your job is about to become.
