Software in the age of human and AI collaboration
summary
Generative AI tools like Q developer write code, generate tests, review legacy code and run operational investigations during incidents; applied at Amazon scale they report saving 45,400 hours and roughly $260 million in maintenance costs. The talk argues GenAI becomes a foundational layer across SDLC, lowers time/cost/resource barriers, and shifts human work toward customer research, continuous innovation and evals while recommending free-tier experimentation and pushing commoditized systems right to elevate differentiating product work.
