Eddie explores the “token abundance mindset”—a shift in how developers should think about using AI. Instead of rationing tokens and limiting usage, Eddie argues that modern AI subscriptions encourage maximizing usage to unlock productivity gains. He walks through how AI has evolved from a novelty into an essential tool for software engineers, showing how cheaper and more powerful models have made AI a true productivity multiplier.
He shares practical workflows using tools like Claude Code, worktrees, and batch execution to avoid context switching and dramatically improve efficiency. The session also dives into advanced techniques like adversarial code review, AI-driven planning, and leveraging transcripts as a source of “ambient intelligence” for automation. Along the way, Eddie highlights real-world examples from SSW, including tools like SSW Tiger and automated sprint insights. Finally, he addresses the downsides—AI-generated “slop,” over-reliance, and the need for human oversight—while encouraging developers to stay intentional and keep learning.
If you’re still treating AI like a limited resource, this talk will challenge that mindset and show you how to use AI everywhere to move faster and think bigger.
