In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke to Joy Ebertz about how the use of artificial intelligence is changing the way architects and developers do their jobs.

Great seeing you today. I hope your students will find Codetown a little more fun than plain old programming. I bet once they get involved here, they'll see things in a different light. See you Wed. Don't forget to RSVP, please. The meeting announcement (where you RSVP) is in the Events section. Best, Mike
