In this segment, the speaker emphasizes that adhering to good coding practices—particularly the principle of convention over configuration—creates a feedback loop that benefits both development tools and developers. By following these practices, AI systems can operate more efficiently, leveraging the consistency and predictability of well-structured codebases. Conversely, when projects lack supporting infrastructure, the speaker notes that modern AI has become capable of generating the necessary scaffolding, effectively filling gaps in configuration and tooling.

it all just feeds back into the system, the convention over configuration stuff. The tools benefit greatly from all of that, just like developers benefit greatly from all of that. What we've found is like, the more we follow these good practices, the more the AI can work efficiently. When those things don't exist, like when we get these projects that John's talking about where we're being asked to vet them and how do we take them to the next level? And none of that extra infrastructure exists. The AI has gotten really good at building that too.
