#141 - What happens when Coding Stops Being the Bottleneck - with Alberto Brandolini and Marco Heimeshoff

About this episode

The episode discusses the transformation of software development as AI reduces the coding bottleneck, emphasizing human collaboration and domain language.

What happens when coding is no longer the bottleneck in software development? In this episode, Alberto Brandolini - creator of EventStorming and pioneer in domain-driven design - joins software engineer and Kandddinsky founder Marco Heimeshoff to explore how AI is transforming the practice of building software, and what remains fundamentally human in the process. Together, they reflect on the growing importance of collaborative modelling, domain language, organisational coherence, and feedback loops in a world where software can increasingly be generated through interaction rather than deterministic programming. This episode offers a grounded yet provocative perspective on what it means to be human, in an increasingly agentic world. Tune in. Alberto and Marco also speak about how AI is reshaping their day-to-day development practices - from using Claude Code and Obsidian-based memory systems to designing “harnesses” that constrain and guide increasingly capable agents. The conversation explores the rise of transient software, the limits of “vibe coding,” and why bounded contexts, modular architectures, and shared language become essential when working with probabilistic systems…
