From Managing NASA Projects to AI Vibe Coding with Jennifer Spykerman

84% of devs use AI. Only 33% trust it. Why are we pretending this is fine?

Jason Baum, Project Leadership at Selenium, is here to say what most won’t: AI is creating as many problems as it solves. Development is faster, sure, but the cost is rising. More bugs. More hallucinations, too. Teams are losing time chasing the promise of AI without fixing the foundation it runs on.

In this episode, Jason and Nicky get real about the AI productivity paradox—why developers are feeling slower and what teams can do to get quality back on track without tossing the whole tech out the window.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “Am I actually building faster or just debugging more?” this is the reset you need.

Are We Shipping Code We Don’t Trust? The AI Productivity Paradox

With great power comes great responsibility—and yes, coding agents can backfire if they’re not thoughtfully deployed. Instead of boosting productivity, they can frustrate developers, slow down progress, and even diminish your competitive edge.

We’ll unpack three strategies organizations should embrace when scaling agentic coding agents enterprise-wide. Drawing from firsthand lessons and internal experiments—where agents effectively resolved nearly half the tasks we threw at them—we’ll share real-world scenarios showcasing engineering work AI agents excelled at. We’ll also highlight where they fell short, detailing what went wrong and what we’d do differently next time.

Learn from our experiences and ensure your organization’s deployment of AI coding agents empowers your developers, ignites innovation, and solidifies your market leadership.

AI Coding Agents: Three Keys to Successfully Scaling in the Enterprise

In this episode of the AppDevANGLE, Paul Nashawaty (Principal Analyst, Application Development) and Rob Whiteley (CEO of Coder) dive deep into the challenges facing modern developers. Research shows developers spend up to 66% of their time on environment maintenance rather than innovation, highlighting an urgent need for change. Rob explains how Coder is solving this by shifting the entire software development lifecycle—including the critical step of writing code—to the cloud using secure, modular, container-based workspaces. Learn how platform engineering is evolving to support scale, security, and the future of AI coding agents.

Key Highlights
- The Developer Productivity Crisis: Over two-thirds of developer time is spent on maintenance and inefficient workflows, not innovation.
- Shifting to the Cloud: The strategy of moving the last piece of the software development lifecycle to the cloud for safety and productivity.
- Governing AI Coding Agents: The challenge of introducing AI tools like autonomous agents while maintaining security, compliance, and protecting intellectual property (IP).
- The Changing Definition of a Developer: How the rise of data scientists, low-code users, and "vibe coders" are expanding who writes applications, increasing the need for centralized governance.
- Container-Based Workspaces & Standardization: How Configuration as Code allows platform teams to standardize developer environments, dramatically accelerating onboarding and improving CICD reliability.
- Massive Cloud Cost Savings: Achieving an estimated 75% reduction in cloud spend by utilizing on-demand and auto-scaling compute to eliminate resources that sit idle 70% of the time.
- The Future of Platform Engineering: Creating secure, sandboxed workspaces where both human developers and AI agents (treated as untrusted third parties) can collaborate safely.

What if I told you that you are developing your applications the wrong way? Yes, even in 2025! Think about it: We host our applications in the cloud, our CI/CD pipelines run in the cloud, our code is stored in the cloud (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)... but where do we actually write and test that code? Often, it's stuck on our local machines. 

But What happens if you break your computer, well your code is safe, its stored in the cloud, but what about your dev environment. Reinstalling everything would take days and it would be a huge headache. But what if we could also put our dev environment into the cloud? How about the cloud development environment?

The Right Way to Develop Modern Applications  (You're Probably Doing It Wrong)

Is your local machine lying to you? Ben Potter, VP of Product at Coder, gets real about why AI agents aren’t living up to their potential without the right infrastructure.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 
1. The real reason AI agents aren’t living up to their hype 
2. How to create a secure and scalable AI development stack 
3. Why your current environment setup is holding you back from AI success

Your Local Machine Might Be Lying. Ben Potter on AI Agents in Development

The fear of "vibe coding" (non-developers using AI to write software) mirrors historical fears about DIY home improvement. Yet Home Depot built a trillion-dollar market by recognizing that proper tools, education, and boundaries enable regular people to tackle appropriate projects safely. 

This session shows how open source communities can lead the citizen development revolution by applying the same three-pillar approach that made DIY construction successful. 

Nicky Pike, Field CTO at Coder, shares real examples of where citizen development works, where it fails, and what we learned about building guardrails that actually work. You'll see how open source principles of visibility, community review, and shared knowledge create natural boundaries that keep people in their lane while unlocking massive productivity gains. 

Beyond just faster development, we found that citizen developers actually help their IT teams get unstuck from endless backlogs and start shipping things that matter. Join me to see practical examples of how open source tools and governance models create a blueprint for democratizing software development without the disasters.

From Fear to Framework: How Open Source Enables Safe Citizen Development

Dev Containers provide a standardized way to define and share development environments.

From Setup to Scale: Managing Dev Containers in Coder

Many engineers welcome the chance to improve legacy code, especially when they’re the ones driving it. But when priorities shift mid-stream, timelines slip, and support wavers, what started as an exciting technical investment can quickly become a source of frustration, or worse, another abandoned effort.

So how can engineering managers support meaningful refactoring without burning out their teams or losing momentum?

This panel explores how modern teams are redefining refactoring, not as a risky detour, but as a strategic, AI-assisted part of building better systems. We’ll share practical lessons on how to structure, scope, and sustain large-scale improvements, even in the face of delivery pressure.

Join us to learn:
1. How to lay the groundwork for a sustainable refactor
2. Where to leverage AI for faster, safer legacy transformation
3. How to build a culture that tackles technical debt with consistent leadership support
