124. The Reality of AI in Software Development - with Rick & Oscar
In this podcast episode, Rick and Oscar explore the reality of AI in software development in early 2026. Where does AI genuinely add value today, and where does it fall short? Should developers fear for their jobs? They highlight the gap between AI hype and real-world use, the risks of trusting AI output blindly, and the challenges of using AI in production under strict data residency and compliance requirements. They reflect on developer tooling and a clear preference for practical experience over speculation and hype.
