# Podcast recording — 2025-05-08
Recorded episode with Priya Sharma. Great conversation.

## Notes
- Episode theme: third session with Priya — the impact of AI code assistants on mobile development specifically, and how her team is integrating these tools into their existing development workflow
- Priya shared six months of data from her team's structured rollout of AI coding tools across iOS and Android development, with granular metrics on which tasks benefited most (boilerplate UI code, test generation) and which saw no improvement (complex state management, platform-specific API integration)
- Her rigorous, metrics-driven approach to evaluating AI tools stands in contrast to the usual anecdotal takes — she ran controlled experiments with and without AI assistance on comparable features
- Strong technical episode that will age well; the data she shared provides a snapshot of where AI tools genuinely help mobile development versus where the hype exceeds reality
- Key quote: "AI tools are fantastic at writing the code you already know how to write. The question is whether that is actually your bottleneck"
- Audio quality was excellent as always; Priya continues to record from her professional setup

## Follow-up
- [ ] Send thank-you email to Priya and request permission to publish the before/after metrics
- [ ] Draft show notes with the AI tool evaluation framework
- [ ] Schedule editing with [[person-paco-furiani]]
- [ ] Create social media clips — the controlled experiment results will drive engagement among mobile devs
