FROM .NET IN 2003 TO THE AI ERA Andre takes us back to the early days of .NET and C#, when learning a new Microsoft technology often meant purchasing official training and traveling to another city.Since then, software development has moved through desktop, web, mobile, cloud, containers, microservices, and serverless computing.Andre argues that the transition to AI feels fundamentally different. Instead of simply introducing another platform or framework, AI introduces a new way for humans to interact with software. AI ASSISTANTS VS. AI CODING AGENTS There is an important difference between having an AI assistant inside your IDE and delegating work to an agent.An assistant can explain code, suggest refactoring, answer questions, and help developers understand their applications.An agent can receive a goal, create a plan, divide the work into smaller tasks, use tools, coordinate additional agents, and implement significant parts of the solution.Andre explains how this is already changing his own development workflow, with AI now generating much of the code he previously would have written… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/m365-fm-modern-work-security-and-productivity-with-microsoft-365-7311214/episodes/how-ai-changed-software-development-forever-building-the-agentic-future-with-andre-baltieri-mvp/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/m365-fm-modern-work-security-and-productivity-with-microsoft-365-7311214/how-ai-changed-software-development-forever-building-the-agentic-future-with-andre-baltieri-mvp.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
