Summary
Agentic coding is not just making engineers faster. It is changing how teams triage bugs, prototype features, involve product, and think about hiring. Scott Weller, CTO and founder at EnFi, joins The Tech Trek to talk about how his team is building around agentic software development while operating in financial services, where trust, accuracy, and human judgment still matter. EnFi uses AI agents to work through complex financial data rooms, extract knowledge, and support faster analysis in commercial lending. In this episode, Scott breaks down how EnFi moved from simple coding assistance to a broader development harness, why Slack became a central interface for agents, how product and business leaders can now participate earlier in feature creation, and why engineering interviews need to change when AI is part of the actual job. Practical Takeaways • Start with specific productivity goals before trying to rebuild the whole development process. • Agentic tools work better when they connect to the team’s real workflow, shared context, and software lifecycle data. • Faster code generation changes the cost model, but it also creates new problems around review, testing, prioritization, and decision fatigue. • Product, sales, and executive teams may be able to prototype ideas faster, but engineering still has to make the work production ready. • Hiring needs to test how people solve problems with AI, not whether they can perform the old interview format without help.
