Description

Software itself is fundamentally changing. We explore the transition to agentic orchestration, vibe coding, and AI-native development, grounding the conversation in the principles that have always defined great engineering.

On Tuesdays, we interview the founders, architects, and builders of the world’s most impactful tech to uncover the timeless engineering principles and strategies shaping the next era of development.

And on Fridays, we drop an end-of-week roundup of the biggest news in AI and software, and what it actually means for your career, your craft, and your life as a developer.

Subscribe to stay ahead of the next era of code.

This week, Dev Interrupted takes a field trip all the way down to the GPU. Leading the way is Together AI’s VP of Kernels Dan Fu, a co-author of FlashAttention who also runs a research lab as an assistant professor at UC San Diego. He joins Andrew to talk about how ideas now move from the lab into production models within months, and what it means to build a cloud for AI. Dan argues that AI is an accelerant for individual engineers, and that the more domain expertise they bring, the faster it...
Most companies control the prompts they send to a model, but not what went into it. That’s the gap CIQ founder and CEO Gregory Kurtzer, who set up the community that built Rocky Linux, wants an AI bill of materials to close. This week on Dev Interrupted, he joins Andrew to make the case for OpenWALDO, a community-backed corpus of AI training data built on open weights, artifacts, licenses, data and origins. Greg explains why open weights alone don’t make a model open source, and why a model t...
Agents made each engineer faster, but the handoffs between them still run through copy and paste. OpenClaw Foundation chief architect Vincent Koc ran into that friction on his own team, and their answer was to move the engineering work of building OpenClaw inside OpenClaw itself. This week on Dev Interrupted, he joins Andrew to walk through the multiplayer setup behind OpenClaw 2.0, where teammates and their agents can jump into each other’s sessions on shared servers and pick up work when so...
LinearB's software factory spends more time on the spec than on the code. VP of Engineering Ariel Illouz spent the last year moving his team of about 30 engineers from vibe coding to spec-driven development, starting with a single spec-writing skill and a rule that every story above three story points gets a spec. This week on Dev Interrupted, he and returning guest Ofer Affias, LinearB's senior director of product, join Andrew to walk through a project Ariel puts at six months without AI tha...
MCP was already a hit before it had a neutral home. Then Manik Surtani helped launch the Agentic AI Foundation, and MCP's SDK downloads grew fivefold to over a billion. This week on Dev Interrupted, he joins Andrew to share why he expects the same kind of growth for A2A and the foundation's other newest projects, and why these protocols belong together in a neutral place. Manik also shares the unique reasons behind A2A’s rapid adoption in China’s mobile app ecosystem. They close the conversat...
