In this episode of Beyond the Hype, Colin Eberhardt is joined by Remi Van Goethem to unpack the fast‑evolving world of AI‑accelerated software development. From everyday autocompletion to emerging multi‑agent frameworks, they explore how AI is reshaping coding practice and where human engineering judgement still matters.

Remi shares his recent experience rapidly prototyping a planning application using a Research–Plan–Implement workflow, highlighting how AI can transform early‑stage discovery, architecture thinking, and delivery speed. Together, they consider what this shift means for developers, architects, and CTOs as AI starts to generate more of our code, and whether vibe coding is a glimpse of software's future or simply the latest trend.
