Episode 4: Designing Intelligence: GitHub Next, AI, and the Human Side of Code

Code Space: Product Making

Guest: Idan Gazit (Senior Director of Research, GitHub Next)

This installment of “Friends in Code Spaces” features a conversation with Idan Gazit, Senior Director of Research at GitHub Next. With a background spanning front-end, back-end, and design, Idan brings a product-driven perspective to software development.

Idan’s current work in the AI space is of particular interest in small language models and their potential to reshape the developer experience.

Host Craig Dennis and Idan explore how AI can move beyond code completion to become a true partner in the creative process, helping developers think, iterate, and build more effectively.

Along the way, Idan emphasizes the value of in-person collaboration, importance of ethical responsibility, and designing tools that align with how humans actually work.
