GUEST: Jeff Keyes , Field CTO at AllStacks SHOW: 1017 SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Reasoning Show #1017 Transcript SHOW VIDEO: SHOW SPONSORS: ShareGate - ShareGate Protect. Microsoft 365 Governance, we got this! Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demo SHOW NOTES: Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background, and what you focus on these days at AllStacks. Topic 2 - You’ve been talking to a lot of engineering leaders using AI coding tools - what’s the most surprising gap you’re seeing between increased code generation and actual delivery outcomes? Topic 3 - Why does increasing developer output with AI often lead to more debugging, duplication, or cleanup instead of faster delivery? Topic 4 - You’ve described an ‘invisible rework loop’ - can you walk us through what that looks like inside a modern engineering team? Topic 5 - As code generation gets easier, where does the real bottleneck shift in the software delivery lifecycle? Topic 6 - How do unclear product or engineering specifications get amplified in an AI-assisted development environment?
