## Resource

In this episode, Maggie Appleton from GitHub Next explains why "single player" AI tools are creating a team alignment crisis. We discuss the shift from solo CLI instances to multiplayer agentic environments, the launch of ACE (Agentic Collaboration Environment), and why the future of software isn't just about writing code faster—it's about using proactive agents to bridge the gap between developers, researchers, and the social fabric of a company. This was recorded at AI Engineer Europe. Links: Maggie Appleton https://maggieappleton.com/ GitHub Next https://githubnext.com/
