316 Putting Agentic AI and Agile to work Developing Code

If you’re listening to this episode while nervously glancing at your laptop wondering if ChatGPT is about to write your performance review, well… you’re in good company. Today we’re diving headfirst into the topic that’s keeping tech workers up at night: AI taking your jobs. And to help us navigate this digital existential crisis, I’ve got the perfect guest – Bryan Finster, a DevOps guru who’s spent over two decades in the trenches building mission-critical systems for enterprises so large they have their own zip codes.

Bryan has seen more technology “revolutions” than a carnival Tilt-a-Whirl, and he’s the mastermind behind MinimumCD.org, co-author of “Modern Cybersecurity: Tales from the Near-Distant Future,” and currently works at Defense Unicorns solving software supply chain problems that would make a Rubik’s cube weep. So when it comes to AI disruption, Bryan’s got some thoughts – and spoiler alert: he thinks the robots aren’t coming for your job, they’re coming for your bad habits. Let’s talk about why that might actually be the best thing that’s happened to software delivery since someone invented the undo button.
