A+ Show S11E9 | AI-Proofing Angular: Architecture, Agents, and the New Developer Skillset with Tomasz Ducin

In this episode of the Angular Plus Show, Lara, Jay, and Jan sit down with Tomasz Ducin to dig into how AI and LLMs are reshaping software architecture, Angular development, and the day-to-day role of developers. The conversation moves from practical AI workflows and deterministic tooling to deeper architectural choices like vertical slices, local state, plugin-based design, and “removability” as a new advantage in AI-assisted codebases. Along the way, the group discusses why communication, product understanding, and architectural judgment may matter more than ever in a world where code is becoming cheaper to generate—but still expensive to maintain.

Dev Life Ep 21 | Signals, Accessibility, and the AI Workflow with Brian Treese

What happens when the cutting edge of Angular meets the rigorous demands of enterprise UX? In this episode of the Dev Life, Brooke & Matt sit down with Brian Treese, Angular GDE and UX Lead, to explore the evolving landscape of frontend development. Brian breaks down his recent deep dives into Signal-based forms and why this reactive shift is a game-changer for state management. We also go under the hood of the Angular CDK - the "hidden gem" of the framework - to discuss why more developers should be leveraging it for robust component logic. As a UX leader, Brian shares his excitement for Angular ARIA and the future of building natively accessible applications at scale. Finally, we discuss the human side of the "AI revolution," as Brian reveals his current favorite AI development tools and how he’s refining his workflow to stay productive in a rapidly shifting ecosystem.
