The Culture & Methods Trends Report podcast reveals trends in software development for 2025, highlighting AI's role in accelerating development but raising quality problems. The conversation emphasizes the continued importance of team collaboration, with the risk of engineers leaning more on AI than on each other. Junior engineers are effectively leveraging AI as a learning tool, while psychological safety remains crucial for team dynamics. Observability's increasing costs call for strategic investment views, and Agile and DevOps are now fundamental, with platform engineering emerging as the next evolution in developer tools.
AI tools dramatically increase development speed but come with quality concerns, creating a need for new testing and quality approaches.
Team collaboration remains essential despite AI advancement; risking reliance on AI over colleagues undermines collaborative culture crucial for high performance.
Observability costs are constantly growing; organizations must view observability as a strategic investment rather than merely a cost center.
Agile and DevOps practices have become so integrated into industry standards that theyâre now 'the air that we breathe,' setting the stage for platform engineering.
