AI coding tools are giving non-engineers the ability to build real business software, which is exciting, but also risky. In this episode of Leap to Scale, Justin Davis and Greg Ross-Munro talk about the shift from “vibe coding” to “agentic engineering,” and how business leaders should think about AI-built tools inside their companies. We know that AI can write code, but what happens if that code breaks?  If you’ve built a simple internal tool that runs locally and analyzes a spreadsheet, the risk is low. But a system that touches customer data, payroll, medical records, payment information, or your CRM? That is a different conversation. Check out the episode to learn when it’s safe to experiment, when to add guardrails, and when to bring in professional engineers. #AICoding #AgenticEngineering #BusinessSoftware https://hubs.ly/Q04z8Q6q0

Thanks again to the Tampa Bay Tech members who joined us for a fun event at the Sourcetoad office last week! Our VP of UX, 💥Justin Davis Davis, gave a hilarious talk about what happens when AI agents go rogue. It was a good reminder that as these systems become more capable, designing the right guardrails matters just as much as designing the right experience. And big thanks to Improving for sponsoring the happy hour libations! Come back anytime 🍻

What if you didn't have to guess what customers wanted? Aaron White's answer was simple: become the customer first. By acquiring a marketing agency before building software, his team validated real problems, tested solutions in production, and built a product around workflows they already knew delivered value. We unpack that strategy in the latest episode of Leap to Scale! 🎥 Watch the full episode here: https://hubs.ly/Q04n422n0 #SaaS #ProfessionalServices #Productization #AI

Most service businesses are sitting on valuable data and don't even realize it. Every proposal, CRM update, invoice, support ticket, sales call, and project leaves behind what Doug Smith calls "data exhaust." Until recently, most organizations didn't have a practical way to use it. In our latest episode of Leap to Scale, Doug Smith (Director of AI Operations at Element 451) joins us to discuss how service firms can uncover hidden opportunities inside the systems they already use every day. If you're leading a consulting firm, agency, or other service business, this conversation is packed with practical ideas you can apply today! 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://hubs.ly/Q04n3TF20 #ArtificialIntelligence #ProfessionalServices #Automation #AI #BusinessGrowth #DigitalTransformation #Consulting #FutureOfWork
