## Resource

In this episode, we explore the evolution from simple code completion AI to more sophisticated software engineering agents. While tools like GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer revolutionized code suggestions, the next frontier involves AI agents that can handle complex engineering tasks and collaborate with each other through agent-to-agent protocols. We dive into how engineering teams can prepare for this shift, examining how these new AI capabilities will impact development workflows and team productivity. The discussion also touches on the importance of using the summer period strategically - taking time to evaluate current tooling, processes, and team readiness for the upcoming wave of AI-powered development tools.
