I give my assessment of what's happening with AI coding tools and how they're changing software development. I'm a longtime designer and product manager and I'm finding that they are powerful, but you still have to know software engineering as the models can still write code that isn't appropriate for the scenario. Designers and developers are now having overlapping duties with AI being able to do each others' jobs. The tech industry may see a shift towards smaller development teams, as a result. It's clear these tools will be changing software development significantly. Have you tried any yet? Let me know in the comments how these tools work for you and which ones you've tried.

This week I talk to Emmanuel Saccoccini "Sacco" from Riff Raff an app that allows musicians to collaborate from anywhere. This app is fun and is a perfect example of expanding the music market in a casual way, but also letting more committed artists find new audiences. Music tech can reach many and the "casual musician" and "social musician" are good personas to explore. The app aims to rekindle the joy of playing music by connecting musicians who share similar tastes, providing a platform for creativity and community. Socko discusses the app's features, the importance of collaboration, and how it motivates musicians, especially those who may have lost their passion for playing. Our conversation highlights the app's potential to bring musicians together and encourage participation in music, regardless of skill level or experience.
