The Stack Overflow Podcast

In this episode, Ryan chats with the GM of Slack, Rob Seaman, about how their new Code Channels feature is bringing multiplayer AI to your team chats. They discuss how most interactions with coding agents become siloed context, why a party chat with devs and agents flattens writing code and code review into a single step, and why a Slack channel might be a better dev environment than a terminal.
Episode notes:
Check out the article Rob mentioned: Learning on the shop floor.
