    How Too Much Information Destroys Agent Performance

    Most AI agents fail because you're using them wrong. Here’s what actually works in production. In this episode, Simon Maple sits down with Itamar Friedman (CEO of Qodo) and Robert Brennan (CEO of OpenHands) at QCon AI. They pull back the curtain on why agents hallucinate, provide inconsistent answers, and ship low-quality code. On the docket: • Why a third of developer-reported AI output is incorrect • Why you must separate creative coding agents from structured review agents  • How excessive information destroys agent performance  • Parallelizing agents across 1,000+ repositories to resolve CVEs and legacy debt  Recorded live at QCon, this one's straight from architects building the future of the AI-native dev cycle.

    What AI Engineering Looks Like at Meta, Coinbase, ServiceTitan and ThoughtWorks

    What does it take to make AI work inside engineering teams? This high-stakes compilation episode with Ian Thomas (Meta), Wesley Reisz (ThoughtWorks), Sepehr Khosravi (Coinbase), and David Stein (ServiceTitan) goes inside the engineering rooms of the world's most sophisticated tech organisations to uncover how they're moving past AI hype into AI-native production. On the docket: • How Meta achieved 80% weekly AI adoption through grassroots community building instead of top-down mandates • Why ThoughtWorks uses the RIPPER-5 framework to structure AI workflows and prevent agents from jumping straight to code • When Coinbase engineers use Cursor versus Claude Code and why sub-agents are critical for managing context without bloat • How ServiceTitan migrated 247 legacy metrics in three weeks using self-healing validation loops and standardized agent tasks If you're trying to make AI useful inside your team, this episode shows exactly what matters.

    What Developers Need To Know About Agents Before 2026

    2025 changed what it means to be a developer. And 2026 is about to change even more. This Tessl episode brings a year-end reflection on how agents reshaped software development and what developers need to unlearn next, featuring Reuven Cohen, Founder of the Agentic Foundation, Maor Shlomo, Founder of Base44, and Maksim Shaposhnikov, Technical Member at Tessl. On the docket: • Reuven Cohen on why most agent systems fail and what agentic engineering demands • Maor Shlomo on where vibe coding works, where it breaks, and how guardrails protect long-term software • Maksim Shaposhnikov on developer autonomy, IDE vs terminal agents, and designing for delegation This episode looks ahead to 2026 and examines the systems developers will be responsible for next.

    Building an AI Agent in 100 Lines of Code | Yaniv Aknin

    Before you add context, understand the context that’s already there. In this episode, Yaniv Aknin, founding engineer at Tessl, explains the built in instructions that precede every user prompt, and why acknowledging that hidden layer is critical. On the docket: • why tool design matters more than raw reasoning ability • how Codex does more with fewer tools • how subagents let Claude stay flexible under context pressure • why generalist models may adapt better to unfamiliar tools AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.

    We’re holding probabilistic systems to deterministic standards. In this episode of AI Native Dev, Simon Maple talks with Maria Gorinova, Member of Technical Staff at Tessl, about the mismatch between how developers expect software to behave, and how agents actually do. • how structured context improves abstraction use  • why agent reliability can only be demonstrated through measurement  • how Tessl’s tiles improve reliability without bloating context AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.

    Agent Experience Is the New Developer Experience | Sean Roberts

    Your codebase already has AI contributors. If they don’t understand it, that’s on you. In this segment from AI Native DevCon, Sean Roberts, VP of Applied AI at Netlify, explains why agent experience is, in fact, an extension of developer experience. He also shares: why hallucinations are what inference looks like when context is missing.why knowledge graphs matter for large codebases.using feedback loops to help agents learn from real deployments.the downside of standardising on a single agent AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.
