Description
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.Sections & Timestamps00:00 - Intro0:06 - The Two Pizza Team: Still Relevant?1:36 - Where Agile Breaks Down with AI3:18 - Rethinking Team Structure in an AI-First World5:06 - Can We Keep the Roles?
