Fragmented is an AI developer podcast for engineers who want to go beyond vibe coding and ship real software. We cover AI-assisted development the way working engineers actually use it: prompting strategies, code review, testing, debugging, workflows, and building production-grade software with AI tools. No hype. No "I shipped a SaaS in a weekend" stories. Just tactics that work. Hosted by Kaushik Gopal and Iury Souza — software engineers using AI daily to build and ship real products. From vibe coding to software engineering — one episode at a time. Our goal: help you use AI to become a better engineer, not be replaced by one.

    310 - Mitchell Hashimoto on Ghostty & His Agentic Coding Workflow

    Mitchell Hashimoto co-founded HashiCorp, built some of the most impressive DevOps tools like Vagrant and Terraform, sold the company to IBM — and then built a terminal. Ghostty is now where a huge chunk of agentic coding actually happens. Mitchell was an AI skeptic. We walk through his six-step adoption framework and the workflows he uses day to day — warm-start research, Hail Mary prompts across twenty GitHub issues, and knowing when to let the agent slam dunk it.

    309 - Background Agents

    Andrej Karpathy says the goal is to maximize how long an agent runs without your intervention. But there's a false summit most teams hit first: individual speed goes up while system speed stalls, your laptop roars under four parallel Gradle builds, and review queues back up. Kaushik and Iury trace the full arc — from local multitasking to cloud-hosted async work to fully autonomous agents that fire on repo events and put PRs in your inbox. Show Notes Andrej Karpathy on agents and token throughput - NoPriors podcast — maximize agent runtime, not token burn Cursor Agent Mode - Multiagent interface - introduced the multi-agent board as a new paradigm for local parallel agents Google Antigravity - Agent Manager interface Claude Code Agent Teams - spawn sub-agents from a main orchestrator, with tmux pane integration Git worktrees - /reddit Remote Background Agents in the cloud Google Jules - hosted GitHub-connected agent, proposes a plan, edits code, runs tests, opens a PR Cursor Cloud Agents - remote agents that clone your repo in the cloud and work in parallel OpenAI Codex - cloud software engineering agent for parallel tasks Claude Code on the web - cloud-hosted Claude Code sessions decoupled from your local machine Building trust Episode 307 - Harness Engineering - the earlier episode on shaping agent environments — and why this ceiling exists Get in touch We'd love to hear from you.

    307 - Harness Engineering - the hard part of AI coding

    The hard part of AI coding isn't generating code — it's controlling quality, safety, and drift. Kaushik and Iury break down harness engineering: the five pillars for shaping an agent's environment and what it looks like when teams build custom harnesses from scratch.

    306 - Keeping your agent instructions in sync and effective

    AGENTS.md is becoming the common language for AI coding tools, but keeping repo rules, personal rules, and tool-specific files in sync is still messy.
