Mike Vizard talks with Ted Julian, CEO and Founder of Flux, about why AI-driven software development is creating new demand for software engineering intelligence. Julian explains how Flux analyzes pull requests and code changes directly to surface bottlenecks, risk, complexity, technical debt, productivity trends and team dynamics without relying on tickets or manual tagging. The conversation also covers agentic coding, code review bottlenecks, developer trust, AI ROI, token consumption, security analysis and why engineering leaders need code-first data to manage transformation at machine speed.
