Whether you're an industry professional or a tech enthusiast, this podcast series offers a rare glimpse into the minds of two thought leaders shaping the future of multifamily housing.
Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they explore an unexpected consequence emerging from the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence in software development. AI-powered coding tools can generate applications, features, and complex code faster than ever, but as AI-generated code moves from prototypes into production environments, companies are discovering that speed doesn't always translate into quality, reliability, or long-term maintainability.
In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy examine the growing divide between developers who learned software engineering fundamentals before generative AI and those whose development experience has been shaped largely by AI-assisted coding. While vibe coding can dramatically accelerate development, experienced engineers bring something that can't be generated through a prompt: years of architectural knowledge, security awareness, and the judgment to recognize when seemingly functional code may create deeper problems within an application.
Kerry and Jimmy’s Words of Wisdom: “AI has made it incredibly easy to generate code, but generating code and engineering reliable software are two very different things. The real value of an experienced developer isn't how fast they can type—it’s the years of knowledge behind every architectural decision, security consideration, and line of code they review. As vibe coding accelerates software development, that experience becomes more important, not less. AI can give someone incredible speed, but it can't instantly give them the judgment that comes from years of building and maintaining real-world systems.”
