Why Your SDLC Is Broken with Andre Kaminski

Most organizations think they're doing AI. They've bought the licenses, rolled out the tools, and told the team to start using Copilot. But adding AI on top of a 40-year-old process isn't transformation. It's decoration.

Andre Kaminski, Director of Advanced Technology Solutions at WorkSafeBC and author of "The AI-Native Software Development Lifecycle," joins Peter and Dave to talk about what it actually means to rebuild your delivery process around AI, not just bolt it on.

They get into why optimizing code generation alone is the wrong focus, what the six phases of an AI-native SDLC look like in practice, and why the biggest challenge isn't the technology at all. It's the identity shift that comes with it.
If your organization is asking "which AI tool should we use?" this episode will help you realize that's probably the wrong question.

Why AI-augmented and AI-native are very different things
The compounding learning effect and why early adopters are pulling further ahead every month
