Engineering leaders are struggling to get real value from AI tools as teams revert to old habits. James Everingham, former Meta DevInfra head and CEO of Guild.ai, argues for treating AI as an 'AI control plane' woven into the SDLC rather than a collection of point tools. The discussion covers replacing top-down mandates with business challenges to drive organic adoption, the rise of collaborative agent workflows, and the infrastructure needed to govern and audit them at enterprise scale. Also covered: OpenClaw's explosive GitHub growth and security concerns, Steve Yegge's 'Wasteland' factory federation concept for agentic collaboration, Perplexity's long-running computer agent, and the argument that software development now costs ~$10/hour via Claude Code loops—shifting engineer value toward architecture and decision-making.
