AI researcher Dimitri joins the show to talk about the real impact of AI on software engineering. We discuss token costs, AI coding tools, the future of developers, and whether engineers are heading toward a world of reviewing AI-generated code instead of writing it. It’s a grounded conversation about the hype, the risks, and where AI might actually be taking the industry.

ThePrimeTime

A podcast discussion featuring an AI researcher with 20+ years of experience exploring the real-world state of AI in software development. Topics include: the plausibility of 100x token cost reductions claimed by Sam Altman, the arms race mentality among AI companies, the emerging trend of businesses mandating AI tool usage and tracking token consumption as KPIs, the likely transition to a 'code review heavy' phase for developers, the impact on junior and senior engineers, and speculation about orbital data centers for AI compute. The conversation is skeptical of hype while acknowledging AI's momentum is likely irreversible regardless of quality improvements.
