Angie Jones spent years as the "geek whisperer" — translating technical possibility into human progress. Then she led one of the most ambitious AI adoption programs in the industry, and the rug got pulled out. Now at the Agentic AI Foundation, she's working to make sure the standards powering the next era of software are built in the open, by everyone. Kent and Angie dig into the impossible bargain AI has handed engineers, what it really means to hire junior developers right now, and what scares her most about where we're all headed.
This season of Still Burning is sponsored by WorkOS and Augment Code.

This is such an interesting and important conversation about curiosity, learning, and thinking in new ways about problems. I loved it and will share it wildly widely thank you Kent and Angie..
Seriously?!?! The Geek Whisperer?!?! GFY
