JUXTCast Interview
JUXTCast S6E4: Risk-First Software Development
A wide-ranging conversation with Henry Garner that starts with "why doesn't agile actually work?" and ends with predictions about when AI will finally match human reliability (spoiler: give it 10,000 years).
What's Covered
Rob and Henry dive into:
- Rehabilitating risk management — because it's not just for actuaries and the finance team (even if that's what developers secretly hope)
- Why your backlog is lying to you — every ticket is really about reducing some risk, but nobody writes it that way
- AI: amazing tool or chaos agent? — "I cannot leave Cursor alone for more than a couple of minutes without it going completely off the rails"
- FINOS and open source in finance — getting ferociously competitive banks to actually collaborate (harder than it sounds)
