The New Software Team

About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of software teams with the integration of AI agents in coding.

One of the things I used to emphasize in talks about DevOps is that no modern software of any significance is built by one person. Everything takes a team, so the foundation of version control becomes extremely important. We need a way to coordinate work across multiple individuals and communicate what changes are being made. This requires a strong foundation, and that starts with version control. In 2026, that hasn't changed, but what has changed is the makeup of the team. No longer do I need a bunch of humans. In today's world, with extremely powerful AI LLMs, we can have a team of AI agents that write code, often at a pace far exceeding that of human teams. However, they still need to coordinate and communicate and ensure their changes mesh together. Read the rest of The New Software Team
