Скачать или смотреть Ep 3 – The Agentic Quality | Using AI Without Losing Critical Thinking | A Developer’s View

AI can help you write code.
But should it think for you?

In Episode 3 of The Agentic Quality Podcast, host Tatyana Arbouzova sits down with Walter Zimerman, former QAE/SDET and now a Developer at Amazon, to explore how AI fits into real-world engineering without eroding critical thinking.

Walter shares how his teams build and operate testing infrastructure at Alexa scale, running millions of test cases every month, and why he treats AI as a pair programmer, not a replacement for human judgment.

This conversation goes beyond hype and dives into what actually works when AI meets large-scale systems.

In this episode, we cover:
→ How developers use AI without outsourcing thinking
→ Where AI helps and where it can quietly fail
→ Why intent, edge cases, and validation still belong to humans
→ How to scale testing infrastructure reliably
→ Preparing for the next bottleneck: triage and prioritization, not detection

If you’re using AI in development or testing and want to avoid blind trust, this episode is for you.
