Hosted by Guy Podjarny and Simon Maple, The AI Native Dev-from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow is a conversation about the profound shift happening right now in how software is created. This isn't just another tech show about using the latest AI tool; it's a deep, ongoing exploration of what it means to build software in an age where artificial intelligence is a fundamental partner. Each episode unpacks the practical realities and the long-term implications of this transition, moving beyond today's assistive copilots to imagine the workflows, team structures, and architectural decisions of a fully AI-native future. For developers and engineering leaders who feel both the excitement and the uncertainty of this moment, the podcast offers grounded discussions, expert insights, and forward-thinking analysis. You'll hear concrete examples of AI's current impact on coding practices alongside speculative, thoughtful debates about where this all might lead. The dialogue is shaped by a genuine curiosity about how we can actively guide this transformation rather than just react to it. Tune in for a nuanced perspective that treats AI not as a simple productivity hack, but as the core of a new development paradigm that is still being written. This Tessl production provides a essential space for anyone invested in the craft of building software to understand and help shape what comes next.
