Scott Hanselman, the VP of Developer Community at Microsoft,
speaks with host Jeremy Jung about AI-assisted coding. They start
by considering how the tools are a progression from syntax
highlighting and autocomplete. Scott describes the ambiguity and
non-determinism of agentic loops, why vague high-level prompts
usually don't give good results, and the need to express intent
and steer the models. He explains how knowing fundamentals helps
you create better plans and know what to ask the models, and how
to treat agents differently based on your knowledge level. He
discusses his experience porting Windows Live Writer to a modern
.NET stack, and defining success and providing tools for models
to verify their work. Finally, he explains why you need to read
and understand generated code in production environments, plus
methods for sandboxing agents.
