Agentic Development, From the Ground Up — AI for GameDevs & Enterprise | The AI Dev Show Ep. 01

What do AI agents actually change about how software gets made? In our first episode, Jason Weimann (Unity3D College) and Chris Lucian (The Mob Mentality Show) lay the foundations of agentic development for two very different worlds — game studios and enterprise teams. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro — who we are 02:34 Predicting the AI boom before ChatGPT 05:01 AI funding history, TensorFlow & the alignment problem 09:36 How deep do you need to understand AI? 14:55 Open-source models: GLM, Qwen, Gemma & harnesses 16:29 AI-assisted game prototyping — 7 games in 4 weeks 17:52 Vibe-coded apps: ChoreQuest & a Magic life counter 18:48 Roblox AI app generation 19:51 AI risk & LLM-powered game NPCs 23:32 Domain languages for deterministic code generation 29:27 Kite flying & plate spinning: managing multiple agents 34:32 Mob programming with merged AI prompts 37:32 Giving AI agents voices (speed reader MCP) 38:37 Talking vs typing to AI 40:06 Cloning a late friend's voice with ElevenLabs 40:48 Bespoke software & the collapse of dev costs 45:40 An internet-level inflection point 47:17 Wrap-up: books, Mrs. Davis & what's next 📚 MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Alignment Problem by Brian Christian — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393868338?...
