    Agile is Dead, the Intern Killed It

    The Death of Agile and the Rise of AI in Software DevelopmentIn this episode of 'AI Snap That,' hosts Michael Rollins and Thanos discuss the provocative statement that 'Agile is dead,' particularly critiquing the rigid and ceremonial aspects of Agile with a capital 'A.' They explore how small 'a' agile principles still hold value. They delve into their personal experiences and methodologies in software development, including leveraging AI tools for coding and project management. Despite advancements, they stress the importance of traditional software engineering fundamentals. The episode also features discussions about enhancing productivity with a small engineering team, automation in code reviewing, and the balance between human oversight and AI's capabilities in software development.00:00 Introduction and Hosts00:09 Agile is Dead: The Bold Claim00:42 Defining Agile: Big A vs. Small a01:34 The Problems with Big A Agile01:49 Small a Agile: A Reasonable Approach06:12 Agile vs. Waterfall: A Historical Perspective07:14 AI Scrum Master: A Futuristic Idea08:11 The Role of Engineers in Agile14:41 Challenges of Agile Ceremonies17:11 Intern's Journey: From Fear to Freedom23:42 Reflections on Process and Productivity24:17 Challenges of Team and Architecture Changes25:03 Rewriting the Machine Learning Pipeline26:53 Empowering New Engineers27:34 Automating Code Review and Testing34:20 Implementing Standard Artifacts39:45 Ensuring System Reliability46:52 Final Thoughts and Future Plans

    Agents All the Way Down! - What's up with AI agents?

    Navigating the Rise of Multi-Agent AI SystemsIn this episode of 'I Snap That,' hosts Michael Rollins and Thanos discuss their experiences and insights into the development and challenges of using multi-agent AI systems versus single-core LLM agents. While Thanos shares his recent travels in Greece and upcoming vacation plans, Michael dives deep into the complexities of AI coordination, the Blackboard model, and the surprising efficiency gains realized through distributing tasks among specialized AI agents. They explore the counterintuitive nature of these improvements, the role of memory and semantic understanding in AI workflows, and touch upon future concerns about QA and ensuring trust in AI outputs. The episode balances technical discussions with light-hearted banter and real-world anecdotes, creating an informative and engaging dialogue about the evolving landscape of AI technology.00:00 Welcome to I Snap That!00:30 Vacation Plans and Travel Stories04:27 Exploring AI Agents06:42 The Blackboard Model Explained11:00 Memory and Data Coordination15:08 Building and Testing Multi-Agent Systems20:02 Performance and Efficiency Insights23:04 Token Usage and Trade-offs in Computer Science24:30 Challenges with Coding Agents and Data Access25:57 Handling Semi-Structured Data and CSV Ambiguities27:20 Improving Coding Agents with MCP Servers32:12 Ensuring Trust and QA in AI Systems39:24 Learning and Implementing Lang Graph42:13 Real-World Coding Agent Experiences46:08 Concluding Thoughts and Future Topics
