How I Ship TypeScript Without a CS Degree: AI-Assisted Development in Production

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

Six months ago, I couldn't write a for loop. Today, I'm shipping multi-agent systems on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that handle real customer conversations across Telegram and WhatsApp. The difference? AI-assisted development tools that let me leverage my business logic while the AI handles syntax. This isn't another "AI will replace developers" piece. It's about how someone with deep domain expertise but zero traditional programming background can ship production code by treating AI as a pair programmer who never gets tired of explaining TypeScript generics.
