Ep. 19 - Mubashir Cheema on AI, Augmentation, and Why Small Teams Have the Advantage
AI is changing the way software gets built but according to Mubashir Cheema, CTO of Corellian Software, the real story is not replacement. It is augmentation. In this episode of On The Fringe, Anne Larson sits down with Cheema to talk about how AI tools are reshaping software development, why small teams may have the most to gain, and what it actually means to become an AI-first company. From GitHub Copilot and agentic AI to prompting, guardrails, product design, and the future of work, Cheema breaks down how developers are using AI to move faster, solve bigger problems, and focus less on repetitive work and more on creativity, judgment, and communication. The conversation also explores the difference between adding “AI sparkle” and building tools that genuinely help users, especially in complex software environments like EPR Live.
