To AI or Not to AI with Kicki Frisch
Details
To AI or Not to AI - how to use AI sustainably in development, avoid the hype and set healthy expectations on productivity and cognitive load.
Reflections by a (formerly) AI-sceptic engineering manager on the psychology and behavioural mechanisms behind development, and how to get AI to reduce cognitive load instead of adding to it.
This talk won’t tell you anything you didn’t already know about agentic AI or efficient prompting.
Instead, we’ll talk about the human behaviour of coding, and how to use this new tool in a healthy way to improve engineers’ lives – without burning out in the process.
