[featureTitle] => Hector Beyers on how AI is transforming software development
[featureDescription] => AI software development is accelerating rapidly, but businesses still need human expertise to turn faster coding into secure, reliable software.\r\n\r\nHector Beyers, CEO and founder of Codehesion, explains how artificial intelligence is changing the software development lifecycle and why developers can no longer afford to ignore AI-assisted tools.\r\n\r\nBeyers discusses Codehesion’s AI-augmented Innovation Pod model, which combines specialist developers, UX, QA, DevOps, and planning expertise with AI to deliver projects faster. He also explains why code audits, security, scalability, and human accountability remain critical as AI generates more production code.\r\n\r\nThe conversation explores AI-powered prototyping, modernising legacy systems, and why custom software is becoming easier and more cost-effective to build. Beyers also predicts how developer roles could evolve as autonomous AI agents take over more repetitive testing and development tasks.\r\n\r\n0:00 Intro\r\n2:30 AI hype vs real software value\r\n6:20 Why human oversight still matters\r\n7:52 Codehesio's Innovation Pod model\r\n11:42 Balancing AI and human expertise\r\n18:34 The limits of AI prototyping\r\n22:29 Modernising legacy software\r\n\r\nJoin Hector Beyers, CEO and Co-Founder of Codehesion, alongside our technical experts, for a practical discussion on what it really takes to use AI to build production-ready software.\r\nLearn more: https://codehesion.com/webinar/\r\nRegister: https://codehesion.com/webinar/register/\r\n\r\nFollow MyBroadband:\r\nX - https://twitter.com/mybroadband\r\nFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mybroadband\r\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mybroadband/\r\nWebsite - https://mybroadband.co.za/news/\r\n\r\n#ArtificialIntelligence #SoftwareDevelopment #Codehesion
