AI-First Project Management for Developers | Alex Gavrilescu on Backlog.md

The AI Native Dev - from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow

Even the smartest AI agent starts as a blank slate.
Alexandru Gavrilescu, creator of Backlog.md, and Simon Maple explore how to give AI the right context and specifications so it can deliver like a human teammate, and sometimes faster.
On the docket:
• why humans still matter for review, but AI can accelerate work beyond traditional sprints
• the rise of persistent agents that proactively manage tasks and subagents
• preparing for a world of disposable, single-use software and continuous development loops
• why current Agile metrics and bandwidth estimates need a major rethink
AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI. Tune in as we engage with engineers, founders, and open-source innovators to talk all things AI, security, and development.
