About this listen

In this episode, Dave interviews Mitchell Johnson, chief product development officer at Sonatype, about the notion of a Hippocratic Oath for developers, where you do no harm to the codebase, and how AI is impacting that.

They discuss:

  • The responsibility a developer has to keeping their codebase healthy whenever they add a new feature
  • How being able to output code faster with AI makes it harder to have visibility into how changes impact downstream systems
  • How AI assisted coding may actually slow things down
