AfterThePrompt

Jay & Greg

AfterThePrompt is a show about what happens when AI moves faster than people, companies, and culture can keep up. Hosts Jay and Greg share field notes from the real world: why adoption lags, what finally makes it click, and how these tools change the way we work, decide, and communicate. Most episodes stay grounded in everyday use and organizational reality, with occasional special conversations that zoom out to the wider ripple effects. Practical where it matters. Curious where it’s headed.

    Stop Prompting, Start Managing: The Rise of AI-Run Teams (Ep 5)

    The conversation delves into the lessons learned from using vibe coding and the challenges faced in managing handoffs and processes in AI-centric development. It explores the need for a shift in mentality and management mode when transitioning from vibe coding to market-ready production. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of managing handoffs and the impact of AI on traditional software development processes. The conversation delves into the impact of fast prototyping, challenges with agile implementation, misalignment between business and development, the importance of prototyping sessions, transitioning to managing AI teams, human barriers and mental shift, challenges for developers turned managers, transitioning roles in the business, shift in business and technical roles, increasing proper stakeholders, iterative process and checks & balances, evolving work processes, building and iterating specialists, and the future of specialized teams. Takeaways Lessons from using vibe codingManaging handoffs and processes in AI-centric development Fast prototyping enables individual contributors to build what a whole team would have previously built.The shift to fast prototyping requires a mental shift and upskilling of individual contributors.
