Just finished listening and really enjoyed it. CIO Classified episode on AI-Augmented SDLC with Jason Adams (State Street Alpha / Charles River Development) and Sid Pardeshi from Blitzy. A grounded discussion on how State Street uses AI solutions like Blitzy to augment the SDLC at real enterprise scale, with governance and human oversight front and center.

Very intuitive and a huge focus for our organization to stay competitive in today’s market. Excited to hear how more enterprises are shifting to this model in 2026… Definitely worth a follow!
