Fragmented - AI Developer Podcast

Kaushik Gopal, Iury Souza

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.

    305 - Subagents explained - What they are, when (not) to spawn them

    Subagents are becoming a core primitive for serious AI-assisted development. In this episode, Kaushik and Iury disambiguate "agent" terminology, unpack plan mode vs subagents, and explain how parallel, scoped workers improve research quality without polluting the main thread.

    304 - Agent Skills - when to use them and why they matter

    Agent Skills look simple, but they are one of the most powerful building blocks in modern AI coding workflows. In this episode, Kaushik and Iury break down when to use skills, how progressive disclosure works, and how skills compare with commands, instructions, and MCPs.

    301 - The AI coding ladder

    Most folks reference "AI coding" like it's one thing. It's really not. In this foundational episode Kaushik & Iury walk through (at least) four paradigms — from super autocomplete to agent orchestration — each with different workflows, expectations, and mental models. What do most developers follow today? Where is the frontier? What's coming in the future? Listen to the episode and find out! Full shownotes at fragmentedpodcast.com.
