Beyond the Hype: Real Talk on AI-Assisted Development • Jessica Kerr & Diana Montalion

Jessica Kerr and Diana Montalion explore a pragmatic approach to AI-assisted coding, framing AI not as a replacement for developers, but as a powerful tool for automating tedious work like typing, scaffolding, and error handling. They argue that AI's strength lies in executing well-defined, laborious tasks, which frees up developers to focus on the nuanced, high-level work of systems thinking, architectural design, and discerning the right response to complex problems—skills where AI currently falls short.
