In this episode, Dave interviews Mitchell Johnson, chief product development officer at Sonatype, about the notion of a Hippocratic Oath for developers, where you do no harm to the codebase, and how AI is impacting that.
They discuss:
- The responsibility a developer has to keeping their codebase healthy whenever they add a new feature
- How being able to output code faster with AI makes it harder to have visibility into how changes impact downstream systems
- How AI assisted coding may actually slow things down
