What if your AI could patch your vulnerabilities while you sleep?

In this episode of [Dev]olution, Nicky Pike talks with DaShaun Carter, Spring Advocate at Broadcom, about the growing impact of agentic AI in software development. With more companies turning to AI to accelerate development and patch vulnerabilities, DaShaun explains how AI isn't just about coding faster, it’s about automating the tasks developers hate.

From patching CVEs overnight to ensuring systems remain secure while developers sleep, AI agents are reshaping how security is handled in development. DaShaun also talks about the shift from traditional coding workflows to AI-powered environments, where agents autonomously complete repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on more strategic work.

Tune in to understand why AI isn’t a “nice-to-have” anymore, it’s essential to your development process.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How agentic AI can handle critical security tasks like patching CVEs while you sleep
2. Why shifting to AI-driven development environments can streamline your workflows and improve productivity
3. How to implement automation in your dev processes without losing control or security
