In this episode of Commerce Today, Joshua Warren dives into the latest advancements in AI coding agents and what they mean for ecommerce development. He shares how tools like Claude Code are drastically reducing project timelines—turning what used to be six-month replatforming efforts into one-week sprints. Drawing from a recent proof of concept, Joshua explains how a six-step AI loop (plan → code → test → commit → CI → repeat) positions AI as a powerful coding partner for Magento, Shopify, and Adobe Commerce projects. He also discusses how smaller dev shops can now compete with large teams, why extension developers need to rethink pricing and testing strategies, and how value-based pricing is overtaking traditional billable hours. Whether you're a developer or decision-maker, this episode offers practical insights into the rapidly evolving role of AI in ecommerce.
