#13 – Your next coworker might be an AI agent

We used to treat AI like a highly advanced calculator. Now, we are treating it like a colleague. Autonomous AI agents are no longer just writing code—they are joining Slack channels, attending stand-ups, and reviewing Pull Requests. In this episode, we explore the bizarre and fascinating new reality of human-AI collaboration in the workplace. What happens to team dynamics when half your team doesn’t need to sleep? In this episode, we explore:

• How autonomous software engineers (like Devin and its successors) actually work within a team.

• The management challenges of assigning Jira tickets to AI.

• How to build trust with a digital coworker without micromanaging it.
