S3E2: AI Coding Assistants

Chris and Nick chat about how AI Coding Assistants have suddenly become very good, maybe even good enough to write 'load bearing' code. So the constraints the existed around producing code have potentially disappeared; but other constraints live on, and we're still finding out what this means for product management. Some time is spent on whether languages and frameworks still matter, and it seems they do. But also guardrails matter, and if you already have good guardrails built in to a progressive delivery system you're likely better placed to (safely) take advantage of new tools.

Chris and Nick chat about how AI Coding Assistants have suddenly become very good, maybe even good enough to write 'load bearing' code. So the constraints the existed around producing code have potentially disappeared; but other constraints live on, and we're still finding out what this means for product management.

Some time is spent on whether languages and frameworks still matter, and it seems they do. But also guardrails matter, and if you already have good guardrails built in to a progressive delivery system you're likely better placed to (safely) take advantage of new tools.
