AI agents are transforming developer workflows at a rapid pace. What began as experimentation in chat interfaces has expanded into fully agentic systems capable of memory management, automation and multi-channel orchestration.
In this episode of Agents of Dev, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin analyze the implications of open-source agent frameworks, control plane architectures and observability-native software design. They discuss how developer productivity is shifting from syntax to intent — and why IDEs may soon evolve into orchestration environments rather than code editors.
As data gravity, governance and enterprise constraints collide with agentic innovation, the question becomes clear: how should software be built in an era where intelligence is embedded in the stack?
