Building in the Enterprise
Viewed through the lens of systems thinking, AI introduces both leverage and fragility into the development lifecycle. In this episode, Duncan Mapes, Jason Ehmke, and returning guest, Chris Boyd break down how AI affects feedback loops, failure modes, team throughput, and the architecture of modern systems. They explore the evolving responsibilities of engineers in an environment where code generation is partially automated, and discuss how AI reshapes design principles, mobile development approaches, and cross-team dynamics. The takeaway: AI is neither a panacea nor a threat. It’s a force multiplier for teams who know how to use it, and a risk amplifier for those who don’t.
