Kristin Isaac, Strudel

Kristin Isaac, CEO and Co-Founder of Strudel, joins host Liza Vilnits to discuss a VentureBeat piece by Michael Nunez, “43% of AI-generated code changes need debugging in production, survey finds.”

Drawing on 20 years in enterprise go-to-market leadership — including senior roles at LinkedIn, ESPN, and Disney — Kristin explains why nearly half of AI-generated code still requires manual debugging after it's already passed QA, and what that's actually costing companies in engineer hours, customer trust, and silent churn. Their conversation explores the widening gap between how fast code is being written and how well it holds up once it's live, why traditional debugging tools weren't built for this moment, and how Strudel is giving engineering and customer success teams the real-time visibility they need to catch failures before users ever feel them.
