    Agents get their own AOL, Andrew gets published, and vibe coding is actually good?

    Is vibe coding actually good now? This week on The Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben explore the convergence of vibe coding and agentic engineering, unpack the decline of the traditional technical interview, and discuss why companies like Warp are prioritizing AI prototypes over planning meetings. They also celebrate Andrew's newly published research on "mise en place" context engineering. Finally, they break down the enterprise AI "last mile" crisis and share how they are using personal knowledge graphs to upskill their own agents.

    It’s Tuesday and your tech stack is obsolete (again). Now what? | Theory Venture’s Bryan Bischof

    Does it feel like your favorite AI tool is declared dead one week, only to be resurrected the next? This week, Andrew sits down with Bryan Bischof, Head of AI at Theory Ventures, to explore the hidden levers of inference systems and the industry's obsession with prematurely writing off useful tools. Bryan shares his experiences with why prompt optimization is mostly a dead end, the secret to building high-performing data agents, and how his team builds operational software for VCs. The two also break down the origins of the satirical rip-grep.com and drop hints about Bryan's highly anticipated next AI game show experiment.  AI Council 2026: Catch Bryan's track on inference systems and get tickets.

    Goblins in prod, the messy middle of AI adoption, and everything is a harness now

    Are you stuck in the "messy middle" of AI adoption where individual productivity doesn't actually translate to organizational impact? This week on the Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben break down the hilarious and terrifying realities of agentic intention drift, exploring how a "goblin" invasion in ChatGPT and poorly scoped tokens are wreaking havoc on production environments. They also navigate this messy organizational adoption phase, discussing why senior developers are accelerating while juniors stall out on the K-shaped productivity curve. Finally, the hosts wrap up with a look at the open-source renaissance of agentic harnesses like Lattice and Pi.dev.

    Teach the primitives or watch your competitor define them | Baseten’s Philip Kiely

    If you aren't the one educating your users on the fundamentals of AI, your competitors will happily do it for you. This week on Dev Interrupted, Andrew sits down with Philip Kiely, Head of AI Education at Baseten and author of Inference Engineering, to discuss why the secret to winning the AI market is owning the educational narrative through active market development. They explore the rise of the "Double-T" shaped engineer, the hidden complexities of scaling the inference stack, and why the most successful AI companies treat developer education as a mission-critical go-to-market motion.

    Tokenmaxxing scoreboards, the vegan LLM from before 1931, and 30% of the web is now AI-generated

    Are you at the top of your company's tokenmaxxing leaderboard yet? This week on the Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben explore the controversial trend of "tokenmaxxing" sweeping through tech giants like Meta and Disney, as well as GitHub Copilot's shift to usage-based pricing that signals the end of the cheap AI era. The hosts also break down a terrifying incident where a rogue AI agent wiped out a production database and examine a new "vegan" language model trained exclusively on pre-1931 historical data. Finally, they react to a study revealing that 35% of all new websites are now AI-generated and close out the show with the drunk musings of a senior engineer.  Read the guide: The APEX Framework Follow the show: Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts: Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's stories: An AI Agent Just Destroyed Our Production Data.

    Giving robots a brain | Intrinsic’s Brian Gerkey

    What if deploying a new capability to an industrial robot arm was as seamless as pushing an update to a web app? This week, Andrew sits down with Brian Gerkey, CTO of Intrinsic and a titan of the open-source robotics community, to discuss how modern AI is finally giving robotics the "brains" to handle the unpredictable physical world. Brian breaks down how to move away from rigid, monolithic automation toward software-defined, modular robotics using tools like ROS (Robot Operating System) and digital twins. Finally, Brian invites developers of all backgrounds to test their skills in Intrinsic's new AI for Industry Challenge by using AI to solve one of the hardest problems in manufacturing: plugging in a tangled cable.  Read the guide: The APEX Framework Follow the show: Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts: Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's stories: Brian’s Website: Learn more about Brian's work, research, and history in the open-source robotics community. Intrinsic: Explore the robotics software company led by Brian, which provides tools like Flowstate to build and deploy intelligent robotic solutions.AI for Industry Challenge: Get the toolkit and register to compete in Intrinsic's new challenge to solve complex dexterous manipulation and cable routing.ROS (Robot Operating System): The open-source middleware suite that has become the global standard for robotics software development.OFFERS Start Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.Book a Demo: Learn how you can ship faster, improve DevEx, and lead with confidence in the AI era.LEARN ABOUT LINEARB AI Code Reviews: Automate reviews to catch bugs, security risks, and performance issues before they hit production.AI & Productivity Insights: Go beyond DORA with AI-powered recommendations and dashboards to measure and improve performance.AI-Powered Workflow Automations: Use AI-generated PR descriptions, smart routing, and other automations to reduce developer toil.MCP Server: Interact with your engineering data using natural language to build custom reports and get answers on the fly.

    The harness is the showdown, the humans are the tool calls, and have you seen my Claude Code buddy?

    Is the era of cheap, unlimited AI tokens officially over? This week on the Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben walk through the sudden wave of AI pricing chaos—from GitHub Copilot’s panic-paused signups to Anthropic's confusing pricing tests—and break down the terrifying Vercel security breach caused by a single over-permissioned AI tool. They also examine 12 game-changing architecture patterns exposed in the Claude Code leak to help you safely orchestrate your own agentic workflows. Finally, they discuss how to avoid the lethal trifecta of agentic security risks before mourning the tragic deletion of their Claude Code buddies.

    The best model for your team? You haven’t invented it yet. | Ai2’s Tim Dettmers

    Forget the massive GPU clusters. According to Tim Dettmers, research scientist at Ai2, you can build a state-of-the-art AI coding agent with what he calls a "hot plate and a frying pan." This week on Dev Interrupted, Andrew sits down with Tim to unpack how his resource-strapped team built the SERA model using a fraction of the compute power of major labs. They explore the tactical engineering behind synthesizing training data from private codebases without verification tests, proving that the open-source community is uniquely positioned to out-specialize frontier models. Finally, Tim shares his contrarian take on the future of token economics, explaining why the cost of AI might actually spike as compute efficiency hits a physical wall.
