We get into Block’s experience scaling coding agents, AI productivity claims, Verification Asymmetry, AI reviewing AI, whether independent testing matters more when the developer is a machine, meaningful human oversight, and the AI Manager Paradox: if the future engineer’s value is judgement and supervision, how do we create experienced engineers if agents increasingly perform the work through which that judgement was developed?

We also revisit Angie’s warning about the power and incentives behind “Big AI” and ask what changes when you move from criticising that ecosystem to helping build some of its foundational infrastructure.

As well as being super smart and a wealth of information about leadership and building learning teams, Ashley is just a great human being speaking with humility and self reflection in all her example packed stories.

In this episode, we explore how her Master’s in Applied Industrial and Organizational Psychology has changed the way she thinks about managing teams, psychological safety, performance management, job design and the growing influence of AI on human work.

Enjoy!
