Is computer science a dying field now that AI can generate code? Are developers just becoming "code monkeys" who paste AI output into repositories? In this episode, David Dieruf and Wael Rabadi tackle these questions head-on and explore what true development actually means when AI handles the implementation grunt work.

What You'll Learn:

  • What true development means beyond writing code
  • Why context and documentation are critical for effective AI pairing
  • How AI exposes the difference between code monkeys and real developers
  • The importance of shared understanding and ubiquitous language
  • Why interdisciplinary teams and collaboration matter more in the AI age
  • How to provide AI with the context it needs to be effective
  • The future of software development careers when AI handles implementation

Key Insight: AI doesn't eliminate the need for skilled developers—it raises the bar. The question isn't whether AI will replace developers, but whether you're doing true development or just being a code monkey. If you're the latter, AI is coming for your job. If you're the former, AI is your new superpower.

Hosted by engineering leaders David Dieruf and Wael Rabadi, co-founders of Kisasa.
