When the cost of code approaches zero, what does engineering leadership look like?

On this episode of Leaders of Code, Eric Anderson, director of engineering at Intuit, joins Stack Overflow engineering director Ben Matthews to talk about what happens to software teams when AI makes code generation seemingly free.

Eric explains how Intuit rolled out Claude Code across the entire organization, why PMs are now merging their own PRs, and what it means for engineering culture when product/engineering roles start to converge. Eric and Ben unpack the engineering skills that matter most in an AI-first industry and why the work of developing junior talent has gotten harder.

Eric also shares how he personally uses AI to manage his inbox, synthesize specs, and run promotion processes (but why he stopped letting it send emails on his behalf).
