He reveals his small part in the birth of VS Code (back when its codename was Ticino) after he spent a year trying a new editor every month. The conversation dives deep into \"Agentic AI,\" where John predicts developers will soon become \"managers of agents\". But is it all hype? John and Warren debate the risks of too much automation (no, AI should not auto-merge your PRs) and the terrifying story of a SaaS built with \"zero handwritten code\" that immediately got hacked because the founder was \"not technical\". The episode highlights John's jaw-dropping war stories from Disney, including a mission-critical hotel lock system (for 5,000+ rooms) that was running on a single MS Access database under a desk. It's a perfect, cringeworthy lesson in why \"we don't have time to test\" is the most expensive phrase in tech, and why we need a human in the loop. John leaves us with the one question we must ask of all new AI features: \"Who asked for that?\" 💡 Notable Links: Impact of AI on Critical Thinking paper LLMs raise the floor not the ceiling DevOps Episode: How far along with AI are we? 🎯 Picks: Warren - Shokz OpenFit 2 John - Run Disney","meta_description":"Share Episode Microsoft's John Papa, Partner General Manager of Developer Relations for all things dev and code joins the show to talk developer relations…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3200,"processing_state":"failed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/adventures-in-devops/episodes/ai-ides-copilot-critical-thinking/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adventures-in-devops/ai-ides-copilot-critical-thinking.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
