Episode notes
AI Expands Past Code To Shipping Work
- AI is expanding beyond code authoring into automation across triage, reviews, docs, and tests.
- This shift targets non-coding bottlenecks that slow shipping, not just typing speed.
Docs Team Used AI To Test Doc Accuracy
- Ryan described docs writers using AI to generate Selenium tests that detect product changes.
- That let docs know when the product changed so they could update public documentation.
