The issue isn&#8217;t the tools\u2014it&#8217;s taste. AI shifts developer work from writing code to specifying intent, verifying output, and judging what to delegate or reject. Drawing on WordPress examples, this explores a practical model\u2014specify, delegate, verify\u2014for developers who write less code but make more consequential decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-0e968be7 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83d\udd34 LIVE Keynote - Dreaming with AI: Lessons from Disney &amp; Meta | Loyal Pyczynski\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PU0j4a2_amM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/PU0j4a2_amM?feature=share\">Dreaming with AI: Innovation Lessons from the Front Lines of Disney &amp; Meta<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-a600c585 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/us.wordcamp.org\/2026\/speaker\/loyal-pyczynski\/\">Loyal Pyczynski<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time: August 18 at 9:15 am MST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawing on his work developing breakthrough experiences at Disney Imagineering and Meta, Loyal Pyczynski examines how AI can help teams build digital products that are more useful, engaging, and distinctly human.
