Why AI Coding Agents Are Here To Stay | Patrick Debois

Patrick Debois (linkedin.com/in/patrickdebois), the mind behind “DevOps,” joins Simon Maple (linkedin.com/in/simonmaple) to unpack the system-level shifts AI is driving across software engineering, drawn from what he saw firsthand at the AI Engineer’s World Fair.

They also get into:
• how inconsistent codebases confuse AI
• why running agents locally is becoming obsolete
• inside OpenAI’s concept of “model specs”
