    AI Made Development Fast… So Why Doesn’t Speed Matter Anymore?

    AI made development faster… but has it actually made it better? In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan is joined by OutSystems MVP Krishnnambal Sundaram to break down what’s really changing in software development and why speed is no longer the advantage it once was.  As AI tools and “vibe coding” make it possible to build applications in minutes, the real challenge is shifting somewhere else entirely. It’s no longer about how fast you can create something… it’s about whether you can trust it, scale it, and run it in a real-world environment. Krishnnambal shares her journey from traditional development into low-code, training over 2,000 developers, and what she’s seeing firsthand as AI reshapes how teams build, deploy, and think about software. What you’ll learn in this episode:  Why speed is no longer the key differentiator in modern development  The gap between building quickly and running in production  The biggest misconceptions around low-code and why they still exist  How AI is changing (and not changing) the role of developers  Why many developers struggle to understand the code AI generates  The difference between prototype-ready and production-ready systems  How platforms are evolving to bring governance, trust, and context into AI development  What developers should focus on now to stay relevant  The importance of architectural thinking in an AI-driven world  Certifications vs real experience and what actually matters in hiring The shift is already happening. From building faster…to understanding what you’ve built…and being able to run it when it actually matters. Tell us what you loved about this Episode.

    You’re Solving the Wrong Problem in Enterprise AI | Ingo Paas

    Are enterprises actually building AI… or just reacting to it? In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down with Ingo Paas to discuss what’s really happening beneath the surface of enterprise AI, platform strategy, and modern software delivery.  From leading large-scale transformation at Green Cargo to authoring A Billion Times Smarter, Ingo brings a rare perspective on how organizations move from legacy complexity to composable, scalable systems and why most still misunderstand the problem they’re trying to solve. This isn’t a conversation about tools. It’s about how enterprises think, decide, and build in the age of AI.  They discuss: Why most enterprise teams start with the wrong problem The shift from buying software → continuously solving business problems How low-code platforms change the relationship between IT and the business Why platform ecosystems matter more than individual tools The hidden risks of AI adoption, especially around control and decision authority What “governance” really means when systems operate at machine speed Why “human in the loop” may already be an illusion How decision power is quietly shifting from people to systems What enterprises must do to stay in control as AI scales This episode goes beyond the hype. Because the real challenge isn’t adopting AI, it’s building systems you can actually understand, govern, and trust. Tell us what you loved about this Episode.
