At iBOOD, we already skipped pull requests. Trunk-based development with AI-assisted review is faster, less friction, and more accountable. We didn’t plan for it — it just made sense to stop waiting.

Our microteams are small and autonomous. We pair, mob, and vibe continuously. As AI becomes a full participant in that collaboration, those practices aren’t going away. They’re evolving. The team’s social contract is being renegotiated in real time. And continuously. This talk walks back from a future where AI-native development is the norm. What happens when developers become knowledge managers, who own outcomes, not keystrokes? How do specs replace tickets, and feedback loops compress from weeks to minutes?

Every major shift in this industry, think internet, mobile, Git, cloud, expanded what teams could build. AI is no different. The question was never whether to adapt. In software, we do that continuously. Change is imminent. This era is no longer about surviving AI, but rather about thriving with AI.
