סיכום הפרק
When every engineer can own a feature end to end with AI, who do they collaborate with? Kelsey Duncan, Senior Engineering Manager at FreeWill, shares what’s changed for her team: fewer blockers, more isolation, and open questions about what career growth looks like. We also cover moving from Cursor toward Claude Code, onboarding engineers onto AI-built repos, and why her team’s skills are named Bake and Sift.

Co-working With AI w/ Mike Nakhimovich
האזנתםMike Nakhimovich led Airbnb’s Dev AI team through a no-mandate rollout that took agentic coding from 5% to 98% adoption. Now he’s building Hive, a place to co-work with your agents that feels more like a farm than a factory. We talk about where to keep humans in the loop, why async beats synchronous, and why 50–80% faster “in a happy way” beats 4X. Hive is in closed beta as of the release of this podcast.
