AI Amplifies Team Strengths and Weaknesses in Software Development

In this Engineering Culture Podcast episode, host Shane Hastie chats with Jon Kern and Anita Zbieg about how AI acts like a magnifying glass on dev teams: cranking up delivery speed while also spotlighting any cracks in collaboration or system-thinking habits. They stress that solid fundamentals—clear communication, shared ownership, and holistic design—are more important than ever when you’ve got machine muscle on your side.

Whether you’re pushing out features faster or wrestling with unexpected bugs, AI won’t fix bad processes for you. Master the basics, keep your architecture hats on, and treat your system as a living whole to really make smart use of the new capabilities.
