    Why Dropbox Built Their Own AI Coding Platform

    "The tools are so powerful that people actually want to manage them themselves. Everything is just moving up a tier of thinking.'" Chris Hodges and Kevin Altschuler from Dropbox's Agentic Experience team join Ankit Jain on the HangarDX podcast to talk about why they built Nova, their internal platform for AI coding agents, instead of buying off-the-shelf.  They also discuss:Why owning the harness gives you leverage over cost, model selection, and the total developer experience, What makes Nova a platform rather than a point solution?What it takes to get security and privacy teams on board when agents touch your most sensitive dataWhere is AI engineering headed next?

    Code Review Is a Taste Problem | David Poll ⁨@GitHub⁩

    "It's not 'Do I read or not read the code.' It's "Does my attention get directed to where it's actually useful?'"  David Poll, head of GitHub's Code & Review organization, joins Ankit Jain on the HangarDX podcast to talk about what code review actually does and why it was never really about catching bugs. Why code review is really a taste problem, not a correctness problem, andHow PRDs, architecture docs, and design reviews are collapsing into the code review process,Why we might be headed toward a world with 20x more unmerged PRs,How teams can extract review decisions into institutional memory to beat AI slop with AI, aboutThe sliding scale of not reading code and what determines where your team should land 📫 Sign up for our email list for more podcasts, articles, events, and other updates: https://www.aviator.co/podcast ✏️ Subscribe for more videos: @Aviator-Co 🙌 Join a curated community of senior engineers and engineering leaders focused on developer experience and solving productivity challenges at scale!

    How AI Broke Developer Productivity Measurement with Brian Houck(DX)

    "As an industry, I feel like we've lost our minds. Teams are throwing away everything they've learned over the last many decades about how to effectively measure our engineering experiences. And we're not even just throwing it away. We're making negative progress." Brian Houck, applied scientist at DX and co-author of the SPACE framework, joins Ankit Jain on the HangarDX podcast to break down what's actually happening when engineering organizations try to measure AI's impact. Why token usage is the modern equivalent of measuring lines of code, andWhat his research across eight dimensions of code quality actually found,How calendar cleanup beat AI in PR throughput gains by 2xWhy culture—not tech stack—predicts which organizations get the most from AI, aboutThe case for "agent experience" as the next frontier of developer productivity 📫 Sign up for our email list for more podcasts, articles, events, and other updates: https://www.aviator.co/podcast ✏️ Subscribe for more videos: @Aviator-Co 🙌 Join a curated community of senior engineers and engineering leaders focused on developer experience and solving productivity challenges at scale!
