What is The Augmented Engineer?

Whether you are a professional software developer looking to level up at your job or a nights-and-weekends tinkerer, you’ll find this useful for a few reasons.

AI is changing software engineering. The developers who adapt fastest will build better, ship faster, and stay ahead. Those who don’t? 😬

AI won’t replace software engineers—but engineers who use AI have an unfair advantage over those who don’t. These emails will help you learn how to integrate AI into your workflow, write better code, and become an indispensable developer.

Turning AI into a coworker will make your work more productive and fun. Imagine writing code without Google? Writing code without some AI tool is starting to feel like that.

What do paid members get?

If you’re really serious about using AI to grow your career, consider becoming a member. This gets you access to the full newsletter, including some of my favorite parts:

  • Case studies on how developers are using ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Copilot and other AI tools to augment their work.

  • Detailed step-by-step guides outlining how YOU can use AI in your software engineering role to ship better products even faster.

  • Reports detailing what’s new in AI. All signal, no noise.

Monthly subscriptions are cheaper than going out to lunch once a month 👀


Wondering who I am?

I’m Jeff Morhous, a senior software engineer working in healthcare. I mostly make web apps, but I’ve been using AI tools for a while now to build all sorts of stuff.
