A+ Show S11E9 | AI-Proofing Angular: Architecture, Agents, and the New Developer Skillset with Tomasz Ducin

About this episode

The episode discusses how AI and LLMs are transforming software architecture and the role of developers in Angular development.

In this episode of the Angular Plus Show, Lara, Jay, and Jan sit down with Tomasz Ducin to dig into how AI and LLMs are reshaping software architecture, Angular development, and the day-to-day role of developers. The conversation moves from practical AI workflows and deterministic tooling to deeper architectural choices like vertical slices, local state, plugin-based design, and “removability” as a new advantage in AI-assisted codebases. Along the way, the group discusses why communication, product understanding, and architectural judgment may matter more than ever in a world where code is becoming cheaper to generate—but still expensive to maintain.
