58 - Beyond Copilot: The Agentic Software Development Lifecycle with Esteban Garcia
AI can already write code for us - but the biggest change may be everything happening around the actual coding. Jakob Ehn and Johan Nordberg talk to Esteban Garcia, who leads GitHub AI Solutions at Lantern , about Azure DevOps vs GitHub, GitHub Copilot, Agentic Workflows, and how specialized AI agents could reshape the entire software development lifecycle - from requirements and planning to testing, documentation and code. We also discuss why more lines of code is a terrible productivity metric, how AI can help us understand legacy systems, and why model selection, token usage and AI FinOps are becoming increasingly important as AI-powered development scales.
