With a background building high-stakes systems at Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, and Deutsche Bank, Yaakov brings a unique perspective on how AI is transforming software development.
This conversation cuts through the hype around AI coding and explores the real challenges behind prompts, architecture, and traceability. From the pitfalls of “vibe coding” to why functional specs and regulatory compliance matter more than ever, this episode offers a practical roadmap for startups, enterprises, and solo developers navigating the future of AI builds.
If you’ve ever struggled with vague prompts, spaghetti code, or wondered how AI coding will reshape the industry in the next five years, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
About the Guest
Yaakov Sash is the founder of Casso.ai, a platform pioneering “vibecrafting” — the missing step between what we mean and what AI builds. He is a former head of Digital Asset Markets Tech at Credit Suisse and has led major technology initiatives at Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, and Deutsche Bank. His work focuses on AI-native software development, compliance-ready builds, and bridging business requirements with production-ready code.
Key Takeaways
The biggest challenge in AI coding isn’t speed — it’s architecture and validation.
Many non-technical users get stuck when the “magic” of AI-generated apps wears off, revealing hidden complexity.
Enterprises already rely heavily on Excel and Google Sheets, but AI coding could replace these fragile systems with more robust solutions.
Casso.ai is rethinking software development by enabling traceability from business requirements to running code.
Future developers won’t write most of the code — AI will — but validation, compliance, and alignment will require more skilled developers than ever before.
Yaakov predicts that in the next five years, humans may no longer be writing code directly, but their role will be essential in reviewing and guiding AI outputs.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
