    The Recursive Revolution: How Agentic AI is Rewriting the Rules of Code | Agents of Dev Episode 15

    Imagine a world where your software doesn’t just run—it thinks, adapts, and heals itself when a data pipeline breaks at 3:00 AM. In this episode of Agents of Dev, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin explore the “Inception” of modern coding: the rise of self-referential, agentic software. Moving beyond functions calling functions, they dive into systems that can act, correct, and even evolve on their own. As traditional CSV-and-FTP workflows buckle under modern data demands, autonomous systems are stepping in. From self-correcting AI to the conversational capabilities of Snowflake’s Snow Work, developers are shifting from manual mechanics to architects of intelligent, adaptive systems. With software becoming increasingly autonomous, the role of the developer is evolving—becoming more creative, strategic, and powerful. The future of code isn’t just written anymore; it’s engineered to learn. #AgentsofDev #SoftwareDevelopment #AIAgents #AgenticWorkflows #TechTrends #Snowflake #DevOps #Programming #ArtificialIntelligence #DataIntegration

    Teradata’s AI Shift, PromptFu Rumors & the Rise of Verification Debt

    In this episode of Agents of Dev, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin explore how Teradata is evolving into an open data platform designed for AI, hybrid search and agentic workflows. They also examine the growing importance of AI security, including what OpenAI’s potential PromptFu acquisition could signal for the future of securing AI-generated software. The conversation breaks down the rise of verification debt in AI-generated code, why software teams are changing applications more frequently than ever, and how AI is helping developers manage an overwhelming volume of technical information. This episode connects the dots between open data platforms, AI agents, software quality, security and observability — and what it all means for the future of software development. #AgentsOfDev #Teradata #AI #AIAgents #AISecurity #PromptFu #SoftwareDevelopment #VerificationDebt #DataPlatform

    AI Observability & IBM DB2 Genius Hub: The Future of IT Modernization

    Is your IT ready for the AI-driven future? In this episode of Agents of Dev, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin explore IBM’s DB2 Genius Hub and how it simplifies database operations, accelerates root cause analysis, and helps modernize enterprise IT environments. They go beyond database tools to examine the broader transformation AI is driving across infrastructure, development, and analytics workflows, highlighting the need for “observability native” platforms and new approaches to managing autonomous AI agents. From understanding AI behavior to integrating FinOps practices, this discussion reveals how organizations can modernize without losing operational control and why observability will be at the center of next-generation IT. #AgentsofDev #AgenticAI #AgenticDevelopment #DB2GeniusHub #AIOps #Observability #EnterpriseIT #IBM #DatabaseManagement #FinOps #AITools #ITTransformation
