How Do You Actually Ship AI-Generated Code to Production? [Ft. Chris Kelly, Augment Code]
The engineers most resistant to AI coding tools are not the junior ones. Chris Kelly, Head of Product at Augment Code, has watched senior engineers, people with 20 years of experience shipping production systems, be the last to adopt. The reason is not fear of job loss. They were trained to build deterministic systems where A plus B always equals C, and a non-deterministic model that occasionally writes wrong code breaks a contract they have never had to question.
The quality gap is not a model problem, it is a context problem. Most teams point agents at a codebase without giving them the…
