Ben McHone joins The Ai Dev Craft Show to talk about how consulting and software development are changing as AI becomes part of everyday engineering work.
The conversation explores the rise of product engineering, how consultants are helping teams adopt AI safely, why developers need more than just better prompts, and how coding agents are changing everything from pull requests and code reviews to security and team workflows.
Ben also digs into the importance of codifying engineering standards, giving developers room to find the AI tools and workflows that work best for them, and why the most important question is increasingly shifting from “How should we build this?” to “Should we build this at all?”
And beneath all the new tools and automation, the team comes back to something that still matters just as much as ever: working with people, building trust, and keeping the human connection in software development.
