AI yells at voice agents so you don't have to.

Ryan Donovan

With the promise of AI productivity gains not always coming to fruition, we wondered where developers still get frustrated.

Erin Yepis

Ryan is joined by Kayvon Beykpour, CEO and founder of Macroscope, to dive into AI-powered code review’s potential for managing large codebases, the need for humans-in-the-loop for PR reviews so AI tools can efficiently and effectively debug, and how AI can increase visibility through summarization at the abstract syntax tree level and high signal-to-noise ratio code reviews.
