    AI Is Rewriting How Software Gets Built | Agents Of Dev Ep. 5
    Jan 15 2026

    Software development is changing fast as AI becomes embedded directly into how code is written, planned, and shipped.

    Java and Python continue to dominate, but tooling, workflows, and expectations for engineers are evolving just as quickly. In this conversation, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin break down what’s actually changing beneath the hype.

    From AI-powered developer tools and spec-driven development to the renewed importance of open-source collaboration, this episode looks at the real challenges and opportunities shaping modern software engineering.

    Adaptability, not just language choice, is becoming the defining skill for developers navigating what comes next.

    How AI Agents Are Replacing Traditional Coding | Agents Of Dev Ep. 4
    Jan 8 2026

    AI is changing how software gets built, and it’s not subtle. Coding agents, long-term memory, and context-aware workflows are reshaping what developers actually do day to day.

    Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin break down how AI is altering planning, specifications, and project structure, why traditional APIs are struggling, and what happens when agents start managing more of the work. They also dig into how developer roles are shifting and which skills still matter as software engineering enters its next phase.

    No hype. Just what’s breaking, what’s working, and what comes next.
