Prashanth Chandrasekar, Stack Overflow: What Comes After Coding?

Episode Summary

Prashanth Chandrasekar, CEO of Stack Overflow, predicts that developers will increasingly become managers of AI agents rather than writers of code.

Episode Notes

Stack Overflow quickly realised generative AI represented more than a new technology trend. In this episode of Ctrl Alt Lead, CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar reflects on how generative AI disrupted the developer ecosystem, forced Stack Overflow to reinvent itself, and changed the way organisations create, share and consume knowledge.

We explore the trust gap holding back enterprise AI, which Prashanth argues is the key to successful AI adoption. He also predicts that software developers will increasingly orchestrate teams of digital workers rather than write code themselves, saying, “Everybody now becomes a manager of digital agents.”
