AI Assisted Coding: From Deterministic to AI-Driven—The New Paradigm of Software Development, With Markus Hjort In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the emerging world of AI-assisted coding with Markus Hjort, CTO of Bitmagic. Markus shares his hands-on experience with what's being called "vibe coding" - a paradigm shift where developers work more like technical product owners, guiding AI agents to produce code while focusing on architecture, design patterns, and overall system quality. This conversation explores not just the tools, but the fundamental changes in how we approach software engineering as a team sport. Defining Vibecoding: More Than Just Autocomplete "I'm specifying the features by prompting, using different kinds of agentic tools. And the agent is producing the code. I will check how it works and glance at the code, but I'm a really technical product owner." Vibecoding represents a spectrum of AI-assisted development approaches. Markus positions himself between pure "vibecoding" (where developers don't look at code at all) and traditional coding. He produces about 90% of his code using AI tools, but maintains technical oversight by reviewing architectural patterns and design decisions. The key difference from traditional autocomplete tools is the shift from deterministic programming languages to non-deterministic natural language prompting, which requires an entirely different way of thinking about software development. The Paradigm Shift: When AI Changed Everything "It's a different paradigm! Looking back, it started with autocomplete where Copilot could implement simple functions. But the real change came with agentic coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code." Markus traces his journey through three distinct phases. First came GitHub Copilot's autocomplete features for simple functions - helpful but limited. Next, ChatGPT enabled discussing architectural problems and getting code suggestions for unfamiliar technologies. The breakthrough arrived with agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code that can autonomously implement entire features. This progression mirrors the historical shift from assembly to high-level languages, but with a crucial difference: the move from deterministic to non-deterministic communication with machines. Where Vibecoding Works Best: Knowing Your Risks "I move between different levels as I go through different tasks. In areas like CSS styling where I'm not very professional, I trust the AI more. But in core architecture where quality matters most, I look more thoroughly." Vibecoding effectiveness varies dramatically by context. Markus applies different levels of scrutiny based on his expertise and the criticality of the code. For frontend work and styling where he has less expertise, he relies more heavily on AI output and visual verification. For backend architecture and core system components, he maintains closer oversight. This risk-aware approach is essential for startup environments where developers must wear multiple hats. The beauty of this flexibility is that AI enables developers to contribute meaningfully across domains while maintaining appropriate caution in critical areas. Teaching Your Tools: Making AI-Assisted Coding Work "You first teach your tool to do the things you value. Setting system prompts with information about patterns you want, testing approaches you prefer, and integration methods you use." Success with AI-assisted coding requires intentional configuration and practice. Key strategies include: System prompts: Configure tools with your preferred patterns, testing approaches, and architectural decisions Context management: Watch context length carefully; when the AI starts making mistakes, reset the conversation Checkpoint discipline: Commit working code frequently to Git - at least every 30 minutes, ideally after every small working feature Dual AI strategy: Use ChatGPT or Claude for architectural discussions, then bring those ideas to coding tools for implementation Iteration limits: Stop and reassess after roughly 5 failed iterations rather than letting AI continue indefinitely Small steps: Split features into minimal increments and commit each piece separately In this segment we refer to the episode with Alan Cyment on AI Assisted Coding, and the Pachinko coding anti-pattern.  Team Dynamics: Bigger Chunks and Faster Coordination "The speed changes a lot of things. If everything goes well, you can produce so much more stuff. So you have to have bigger tasks. Coordination changes - we need bigger chunks because of how much faster coding is." AI-assisted coding fundamentally reshapes team workflows. The dramatic increase in coding speed means developers need larger, more substantial tasks to maintain flow and maximize productivity. Traditional approaches of splitting stories into tiny tasks become counterproductive when implementation speed increases 5-10x. This shift impacts planning, requiring teams to think in terms of complete features rather than granular technical tasks. The coordination challenge becomes managing handoffs and integration points when individuals can ship significant functionality in hours rather than days. The Non-Deterministic Challenge: A New Grammar "When you're moving from low-level language to higher-level language, they are still deterministic. But now with LLMs, it's not deterministic. This changes how we have to think about coding completely." The shift to natural language prompting introduces fundamental uncertainty absent from traditional programming. Unlike the progression from assembly to C to Python - all deterministic - working with LLMs means accepting probabilistic outputs. This requires developers to adopt new mental models: thinking in terms of guidance rather than precise instructions, maintaining checkpoints for rollback, and developing intuition for when AI is "hallucinating" versus producing valid solutions. Some developers struggle with this loss of control, while others find liberation in focusing on what to build rather than how to build it. Code Reviews and Testing: What Changes? "With AI, I spend more time on the actual product doing exploratory testing. The AI is doing the coding, so I can focus on whether it works as intended rather than syntax and patterns." Traditional code review loses relevance when AI generates syntactically correct, pattern-compliant code. The focus shifts to testing actual functionality and user experience. Markus emphasizes: Manual exploratory testing becomes more important as developers can't rely on having written and understood every line Test discipline is critical - AI can write tests that always pass (assert true), so verification is essential Test-first approach helps ensure tests actually verify behavior rather than just existing Periodic test validation: Randomly modify test outputs to verify they fail when they should Loosening review processes to avoid bottlenecks when code generation accelerates dramatically Anti-Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid Several common mistakes emerge when developers start with AI-assisted coding: Continuing too long: When AI makes 5+ iterations without progress, stop and reset rather than letting it spiral Skipping commits: Without frequent Git checkpoints, recovery from AI mistakes becomes extremely difficult Over-reliance without verification: Trusting AI-generated tests without confirming they actually test something meaningful Ignoring context limits: Continuing to add context until the AI becomes confused and produces poor results Maintaining traditional task sizes: Splitting work too granularly when AI enables completing larger chunks Forgetting exploration: Reading about tools rather than experimenting hands-on with your own projects The Future: Autonomous Agents and Automatic Testing "I hope that these LLMs will become larger context windows and smarter. Tools like Replit are pushing boundaries - they can potentially do automatic testing and verification for you." Markus sees rapid evolution toward more autonomous development agents. Current trends include: Expanded context windows enabling AI to understand entire codebases without manual context curation Automatic testing generation where AI not only writes code but also creates and runs comprehensive test suites Self-verification loops where agents test their own work and iterate without human intervention Design-to-implementation pipelines where UI mockups directly generate working code Agentic tools that can break down complex features autonomously and implement them incrementally The key insight: we're moving from "AI helps me code" to "AI codes while I guide and verify" - a fundamental shift in the developer's role from implementer to architect and quality assurance. Getting Started: Experiment and Learn by Doing "I haven't found a single resource that covers everything. My recommendation is to try Claude Code or Cursor yourself with your own small projects. You don't know the experience until you try it." Rather than pointing to comprehensive guides (which don't yet exist for this rapidly evolving field), Markus advocates hands-on experimentation. Start with personal projects where stakes are low. Try multiple tools to understand their strengths. Build intuition through practice rather than theory. The field changes so rapidly that reading about tools quickly becomes outdated - but developing the mindset and practices for working with AI assistance provides durable value regardless of which specific tools dominate in the future.

We have an excerpt from our recent Future of SD-WAN session and how Check Point products protect against BRICKSTORM.

There are concerns a growing number of migrant bus drivers could miss out on gaining residency due to English-language requirements that treat them the same as university masters students. Checkpoint has spoken to drivers who fear the path to residency for them and their families is blocked because of what they say are unfair rules. But Immigration NZ has defended its requirements, saying anyone at that level of proficiency can communicate well in most settings. RNZ Asia's Blessen Tom reports.

An advocate for Auckland's homeless says international students are joining the growing number of people sleeping rough on the city's streets. Throughout winter and into the chilly spring, Kildare Peterson has been dropping supplies to homeless people in the CBD and within his own community in Onehunga. He's seeing growing levels of desperation. One man told Checkpoint he would deliberately get arrested in order to have a roof over his head for a night or two, away from the temptations of drugs and alcohol. It's prompted calls to implement Duty to Assist legislation, to ensure all people have access to safe and stable housing. Bella Craig reports.

Auckland flower sellers have said "you'd be hard pushed to find a happy florist" as their industry is hit by turmoil. Since the city's major flower supplier, United Flower Growers, went exclusively online, florists say there have been a raft of problems. The florists spoken to by Checkpoint also feel their concerns are being ignored, but fear that if they speak out against UFG they'll be blacklisted. The CEO for United Flower Growers says his organisation has done nothing wrong. All the florists in Evie Richardson's report fear their business will be at risk if they speak out, so have elected to remain annonymous.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris were forced to postpone the Soup-er Series for various dumb reasons, so instead they just talked for an extra long time about Week Old News and The Checkpoint. Speaking of which… In Week Old News, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here, and it's off to one heck of a solid start! Plus, Jaleco is apparently still around and kicking, there's a new Super Mario Bros. speedrun record in town, Smash Bros. gets a very unusual new character, and more. Finally, in The Checkpoint, Dan and Kris can finally discuss the wonders of Donkey Kong Bananza and spoil the heck out of it in the process, Kris works his way through Shinobi's history in a very dumb order, and the guys give their first impressions of Silksong.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris board the SAG Cartoon Express for another “classic” episode of ThePower Team. This time, it's an episode called Train Game, where there's a train full of kids under threat of explosion from Mr. Big from NARC, and the only hope of saving the day lies in the hands of Acclaim NES game D-listers. Fun! In Week Old News, the new Mortal Kombat movie gets a hefty delay, the EverCade lineup gets some Activision goodness, and ninjas are EVERYWHERE! How desperate. Finally, in The Checkpoint, Kris beat Bananza, but Dan didn't so he can't talk about why the final act cements it as one of Nintendo's all-time greats. Dan got his hands on Metal Gear Solid Delta and has been annoying everyone he know switch his Solid Snake impressions, and Kris got to spend a little time with the beautiful Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star crossed Worlds.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the August 10 20 30 40, and while it may not have gotten off to a fantastic start, boy did it pick up steam! We're talking some seriously heavy hitters like Killer Instinct for SNES, Advance Wars: Dual Strike for Nintendo DS, and FLIP-OUT! FOR ATARI JAGUAR! (Also available on PC for some reason).  In Week Old News, the analogue 3D got delayed again, there's a shocking amount of Bubsy in the world, Pokemon apparently can't pronounce things, and oh yeah, Silksong finally has a release date!      Finally, in The Checkpoint, Kris gives an update on his mom, and plays House of the Dead on Switch for the low low price of $2.49. But was it worth it? Meanwhile, Dan extolls the joys of Dark Queen of Mortholme, Berzerk Boy, and of course, DK Bananza.      Enjoy!

The panel then takes up the gerrymandering wars coming to a rolling boil in Texas & California, before ending with an in-depth discussion of whether some Democrats' new combative style is the right tonic for the party.

Leonardo DiCaprio had his own brush with drama — narrowly avoiding recognition at a Spanish police checkpoint outside an exclusive Ibiza party, much to his relief.
