AI Won’t Fix Bad Software Teams

What do you do an Saturday when you don’t feel well to go out for some activities? Right! Let’s read about Software Engineering and AI!

Yesterday I read the complete series of the 22 blog posts listet on The AI-Ready Software Developer – Index – Codemanship’s Blog.

AI code generation used by teams with bottlenecks, blockers and quality leaks in the development process makes delivery delays and problems in production worse.

Only teams who were already high-performing are seeing any tangible benefits from using AI.

The AI-Ready Software Developer – Codemanship’s Blog

Each of the articles adresses a different aspect of Software Engineering and how AI can help … or … make it worse.

I really liked the series because it is not arguing in the extremes (“AI will bring 10x” or “AI is only bad”) but sees AI Agents & Coding support as what it is: A tool that can be used well or not.

Actually, the more I read about it, the more I’d be really keen on seeing teams who really leverage this technology meaningful. I guess those teams would have a) a very good software development process b) a real benefit fro the tool.

Feel free to reach out if you are really leveraging the AI tools in a team. I’d be happy to get in touch.

And don’t forget to check out the mentioned series:
