Taste & Craft: A Conversation with Tuomas Artman, CTO Linear & Gergely Orosz, @pragmaticengineer

Tuomas Artman, Cofounder and CTO of Linear, discusses the paradoxical challenge AI introduces to software development. While AI agents accelerate shipping features, this speed can lead to a decline in software quality. He argues for prioritizing "tasteful," high-quality software as the ultimate competitive advantage and shares Linear's unique internal practices, such as the "Zero-Bug Policy" and "Quality Wednesdays," designed to cultivate a deep-seated culture of quality.
