How AI Assistants Are Changing Coding (E.12)
from Free Form AI · host Michael Berk
In this episode of Free Form AI, we explore how AI coding assistants are reshaping the development workflow. From spotting bugs that slip past human review to writing context-aware tests and reviewing entire PRs, these tools are changing how engineers build software. We break down the “secret sauce” behind how they scan a repo with targeted search commands, keeping context focused and results accurate without overwhelming the model. The conversation also tackles the trade-offs, from productivity gains to the risk of skill decay and what this means for the future of engineering.
