Ryan welcomes Nic Benders to discuss the complexity and abstraction crisis in software development, the importance of going beyond observability into understandability, and demystifying AI's opacity for understanding and control.

How we feel about AI-generated content, what AI detectors tell us, and why human creativity matters. Also, what is art?

Ryan is joined by Greg Foster, CTO of Graphite, to explore how much we should trust AI-generated code to be secure, the importance of tooling in ensuring code security whether it’s AI-assisted or not, and the need for context and readability for humans in AI code.

Ryan talks with Deepak Singh, VP of Developer Agents and Experiences at AWS and lead at Kiro, about spec-driven development in a vibe coding world. They explore how AI tools have evolved from autocomplete to sophisticated agents that can write code based off of just specs, and how AWS has pioneered spec-driven development through their Kiro agent.

CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar will be speaking at a virtual fireside chat at the OpenAI Forum.

Ryan welcomes Tom Moor, head of engineering at Linear, to discuss AI agents’ mixed results for productivity in the development lifecycle, the importance of context for maximizing agents’ effectiveness, and the role that junior developers need to take in a world increasingly driven by AI.

AI agents can chat, use tools, and write new code all from one interface. That's why they'll last.

This episode draws on insights from the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey to equip leaders with ways to navigate the current AI landscape and capture value beyond the hype.

From sprawling PDFs to a fast, factual conversational assistant.

While using LLMs to judge LLM outputs might seem like the fox guarding the henhouse, turns out it works pretty well (and scales better than humans).

While AI coding assistants are helping developers become more productive, the true value of AI lies in its ability to automate the non-coding tasks that have historically been bottlenecks, allowing leaders to create more agile teams and focus on higher-level strategic problems.

Gil Feig, co-founder and CTO of Merge, joins the show to explore Merge’s approach for reducing third-party APIs to a single call, the complexities of and need for data normalization, and the role that AI and MCP plays in the future of API functionality.

This episode provides insights and strategies to successfully navigate AI adoption in engineering teams. Learn how to build developer confidence and create environments that drive real results beyond the hype.

Ryan sits down with Marco Palladino, CTO of Kong, to talk about the rise of AI agents and their impact on API consumption, the MCP protocol as a new standard for agents, the importance of observability and security in AI systems, and the importance for businesses and entrepreneurs to leverage opportunities in the agentic AI space now.

Jeff Hollan, director of product at Snowflake, joins Ryan to discuss the role that data plays in making AI and AI agents better. Along the way, they discuss how a database leads to an AI platform, Snowflake’s new data marketplace, and the role data will play in AI agents.

Ryan chats with Karen Ng, EVP of Product at HubSpot, to chat about Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how they implemented it for their server for their CRM product.

Ryan welcomes Geraint North, AI and developer platforms fellow at Arm, to dive into the impact of GenAI on chip design.

Whether you're leading an engineering team today or preparing for an AI-integrated future, this conversation provides practical insights into where AI can have the greatest impact on your software delivery process.

For promising Gen Z students, a career as a software developer seemed like the golden ticket to career stability and success. But in the age of AI, the career promise for Gen Z software developers is gone.

Ryan is joined by our very own Ash Zade, Staff Product Manager, and Alex Warren, Staff Software Engineer, to discuss our newly released stackoverflow.ai, how it’s enhancing user experience by combining human-validated answers with AI, and our future plans for deeper personalization and community integration.

Kylan Gibbs, CEO of Inworld, joins the show to discuss the technical challenges of creating interactive AI for virtual worlds and games, the significance of user experience, and the importance of accessibility and cost-efficiency in deploying AI models.

Ryan welcomes Darko Mesaroš, Principal Developer Advocate at AWS and all-around computer history buff, to chat about the history of software development improvements and how they made developers made more productive.

Ryan welcomes Nathan Michael, CTO at Shield AI, to discuss what AI looks like in defense technologies, both technically and ethically.
