Practical coding in the enterprise
Vignesh Mohankumar helps companies get this done
Vignesh started his independent consulting practice a few years ago, helping technical leaders with AI systems, and has seen demand take off in the past 12 months. As we discussed his work, he got into the practical realities of what it took to implement these systems in established companies looking to improve their IT departments.
I recommend his “Cursor for Staff Engineers” video, which talks about real production software development, not vibe coding. Key takeaways:
Experienced engineers stand to gain the most from AI
Don’t give up too quickly
Lean into it’s strengths; test driven development, load testing, PR reviews, etc.
As you can see, these cover important but ancillary development tasks, like quality, bugs, reliability, etc. He includes a live demo which is worth checking out. I’m hoping to do an interview with him soon. Please let me know if there are any questions you want me to ask!
