AI is changing everything — but not in the way most people expect.

In this episode, I sit down with Oleg Danyliuk, Founder & CEO of Doanx and Co-Founder & CTO of Insyghtful AI, to talk candidly about tech layoffs, the shrinking demand for developers, and how AI tools are reshaping both sales and software development.

Oleg shares firsthand insights from running offshore teams in Ukraine and Poland, building AI-powered products, and transitioning from a deeply technical role into sales leadership — a move that ultimately inspired the creation of Insightful AI.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why tech layoffs feel different in the AI era
  • How AI is reducing the need for large development teams
  • The shift from “just coding” to proactive, business-focused engineering
  • Real-time AI sales coaching during live Zoom calls
  • How Insightful AI helps sales reps handle objections instantly
  • Career advice for developers navigating uncertainty
  • Why networking and relationships matter more than ever

Whether you’re a developer worried about your future, a founder adapting to AI, or a sales leader looking for an edge — this conversation offers real, grounded perspective from someone building in the middle of the shift.
