Podcast: How Will We Train Developers If AI Does the Routine Work: A Conversation with Scott Hanselman

Michael Stiefel: Welcome to the Architects Podcast, where we discuss what it means to be an architect and how architects actually do their job. We are very lucky today to have as our guest, Scott Hanselman, who is a programmer, teacher, and speaker. He works out of his home office in Portland, Oregon for Microsoft GitHub as a vice president and member of the technical staff. He works on open source and agentic coding tools like GitHub, Copilot, CLI, along with the Windows development platform. Before Microsoft, he was the chief architect at Corillian Corporation, now a part of CheckFree for six plus years. Previously, he worked as a principal consultant at Step Technology, speaking, writing, consulting, and very much not getting rich during Web 1.0, although he worked on a bunch of websites you probably have heard of. He also worked at Intel, Nike, and consulted all over the world. He was an adjunct professor at OIT teaching C and Web Services and created the first Palm Pilot diabetes management system in 1998 and sold it to a healthcare company some years later. It's great to have you here on the podcast. How Did You Become An Architect? [01:30]…
