    Developer Workflows from Planning to Production

    The team debates AI development workflows, introduces Stride (a multi-agent requirements system), and discusses whether programming languages and software engineering principles still matter when AI writes most of your code. They explore how product management is transforming as iteration costs plummet and MVPs now take hours instead of weeks. Ancillary AI Development Tools - Tools built on AI models like OpenSpec, SpecKit, and Kiro.dev that help with planning and design before codingPlanning vs. Direct Implementation - Debate on whether extensive planning (BDD/Given-When-Then) is needed or if iterative development with AI works betterStride Requirements System - Cheesy's Kanban-based tool that manages multi-agent workflows, prevents merge conflicts, and matches tasks to agent capabilitiesDoes Programming Language Matter? - Whether language choice still matters when AI generates code, and if developers will let AI select languages based on accuracyProduct Management Transformation - How PM roles are shifting from managing backlogs to rapid prototyping with drastically reduced iteration costsCode Review and AI Trust - Evolution from reviewing every AI-generated line to relying on automated checks as confidence increasesSoftware Engineering Principles - Whether core principles (DRY, SOLID, clean code) remain important - consensus is yes, they help AI work more effectively YouTube: https://bit.ly/3Xfv2bp Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4bNrAJK Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/4bZjtcA LinkedIn Group: https://bit.ly/3wZIWDM RSS Feed: https://bit.ly/3KsaODW Twitter: https://bit.ly/4ecWHju

    Team Sizes, Trust, and Testing in an AI-First World

    What does the future of software development look like when AI is writing most of the code? We dive deep into how AI is fundamentally changing team dynamics, agile methodologies, and the roles we've held sacred in software engineering. We break down why humans are now the real bottleneck, how to build trust with AI-generated code, and what your development workflow should actually look like right now.
