What If Fixing Code Wasn’t Your Job Anymore? | Jonathan Schneider & Moderne

The AI Native Dev - from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow

Jonathan Schneider, co-founder and CEO of Moderne, joins Simon Maple to share how real engineering teams are using Moderne’s rewrite engine to reduce technical debt at the source, and drive org-wide transformation.
On the docket:

• the hard limit LLMs can’t scale past
• why OpenRewrite uses a declarative framework
• the real challenge: accessing the compiler’s truth
