How to Ship AI-Generated Code to Production

AI writes code. But shipping to production? That still takes a software engineer.

In this GitKon talk, Chris Kelly from Augment Code breaks down what it actually means to use AI-assisted development to write production-ready code, not vibe code. If you've been using AI coding assistants and wondering why the output doesn't always make it past code review, this is for you.

Chris covers:

00:00 - Why "AI is replacing devs" headlines miss the point

02:45 - Code is the artifact, not the job

05:10 - Why LLMs can't make architectural trade-offs (and you still can)

08:30 - The airplane metaphor: fixing software that's already flying

11:00 - How to give AI agents the right frame to work in

14:15 - Why context is everything in AI prompting

17:40 - Code review as the most important skill of the AI era

21:00 - How Augment Code's context engine changes the game

Key takeaway: The engineers who will thrive aren't the ones who let AI do everything. They're the ones who know how to review, direct, and architect around what AI produces.
