The Continuous Delivery Podcast
Developer Workflows from Planning to Production
•
Zarar Siddiqi
The team debates AI development workflows, introduces Stride (a multi-agent requirements system), and discusses whether programming languages and software engineering principles still matter when AI writes most of your code. They explore how product management is transforming as iteration costs plummet and MVPs now take hours instead of weeks.
- Ancillary AI Development Tools - Tools built on AI models like OpenSpec, SpecKit, and Kiro.dev that help with planning and design before coding
- Planning vs. Direct Implementation - Debate on whether extensive planning (BDD/Given-When-Then) is needed or if iterative development with AI works better
- Stride Requirements System - Cheesy's Kanban-based tool that manages multi-agent workflows, prevents merge conflicts, and matches tasks to agent capabilities
- Does Programming Language Matter? - Whether language choice still matters when AI generates code, and if developers will let AI select languages based on accuracy
- Product Management Transformation - How PM roles are shifting from managing backlogs to rapid prototyping with drastically reduced iteration costs
- Code Review and AI Trust - Evolution from reviewing every AI-generated line to relying on automated checks as confidence increases
- Software Engineering Principles - Whether core principles (DRY, SOLID, clean code) remain important - consensus is yes, they help AI work more effectively
