AI Dev Podcast #5 / Как ИИ меняет разработчика, менеджера и всю индустрию / Денис Неклюдов

Denis Neklyudov, a Google Developer Expert well known in the mobile community, returns to the AI ​​Dev Podcast studio to discuss how the wave of AI tools is changing not only code but also the people around it. We discuss the cognitive load of developers in the age of agents, why middle management is under threat, how American companies make layoff decisions based on dashboard metrics overnight, and whether engineers will remain valuable when agents write faster. Denis shares his observations from Silicon Valley—the culture of fear, FOMO, the avalanche of tools, and where the money is really flowing. This is useful for anyone working in development who feels something is changing dramatically but doesn't understand how. 01:06 — Denis from Silicon Valley: 10 PM, Sunday, protests nearby 01:39 — AI Everywhere: Posters on the Streets of San Francisco 02:09 — Which Tools Denis Put Away, and Which He Left Behind 02:41 — Cognitive Load with Agents: We've Started Thinking More, Not Less 03:27 — When You Give Everything to an Agent and Just Say "Yes, Yes, Yes" 04:33 — Productivity Measurements in Large American Companies 05:54 — Early Adopters and Those Who Can't Keep Up 06:26 — Middle Management: Who Will Suffer First? 07:29 — FOMO in IT: "There's Boost, But Not Everywhere" 08:02 — Avalanche of Tools and Update Fatigue 09:03 — Not Invented Here: Everyone Wants to Write Their Own 10:21 — Fear of Missing Out vs. Fear of Doing the Wrong Thing 11:26 — Agents as New Fast Entities Around Us 12:13 — The Magic Number 7±2 and Human Cognitive Limitations 13:15 — Managing Agents vs. Managing People: Which is Easier 14:17 — Why Managing Non-Protein is More Fun 16:06 — What's Happening with Skills Inside Companies Right Now 16:39 — Superheroes Exist, but Few: The Reality of the Market 19:33 — How Denis Tested an Agent on Mobile Development 20:03 — How Can Models Read the Visual Interface? 22:39 — Bandwidth Is Limited by Your Creativity 23:44 — Layoffs in the US: At Night, Based on Metrics, Without Warning 25:01 — Two Opposing Cultures: Not Firing vs. The Hunger Games 27:06 — Everything's Burning, Everyone's Running: Panic Around AI in Industry 32:05 — Where Did GitHub Copilot Go and What Happened to It 39:05 — Any Business Is Capitalization or Cash Flow 41:00 — Who's Really Profiting from the AI ​​Wave: Infrastructure Sellers 44:42 — New Developer Muscles: Verification, Decomposition, Imagination 54:42 — The Value of an Engineer: In Assembly or in the Ability to Define a Problem? 57:48 — The Developer Unit Economics Are Changing Forever #AIDevPodcast #DenisNeklyudov #AIAgents #MobileDevelopment #TheFutureofDevelopers #CognitiveLoad #SiliconValley #LLM #AITools #AItools
