AI is rewriting the rules of software development.In this episode of Dot Slash Deploy, co-hosts Austin Vance, Micah Adams, and Shahed Syed break down how generative tools are reshaping everything from coding practices to team structures.
From the rise of “vibe coding” to the death of specialization, the trio explores whether human developers are becoming obsolete…or simply evolving. They debate the limits of AI-generated code, discuss the compression of roles across engineering and design, and share war stories about deploying into production in the age of automation.
Austin challenges the status quo (as usual), Micah grounds the discussion in practical engineering wisdom, and Shahed brings the human and design angle front and center. Together, they wrestle with what the future of software looks like when ChatGPT is your junior dev, Jira boards are run by bots, and legacy codebases can finally be understood at scale.
The episode closes with a hard-hitting truth: in a world of AI, it's not about knowing the tools. It’s about knowing the context, the users, and the value you’re delivering.
