Episode notes
Prompt Library
- Enterprises often have developers create prompts ad-hoc, leading to inconsistencies.
- Sourcegraph's prompt library addresses this, enabling prompt sharing and quality control by senior developers.
Early Influence and Onboarding
- Senior developers can leverage tools like Cody to influence coding practices early on.
- It helps with onboarding new team members and building trust, rather than just post-micromanagement in code reviews.
System-Level Best Practices
- Shift from educating every developer on specific skills (like accessibility) towards building systems that inherently incorporate those skills.
- AI can help enforce best practices based on the specific codebase, stack, product, and business needs.
