AI tool use is inescapable...especially if you're a young person trying to get an edge in an increasingly difficult job market. But cognitive offloading is dangerous, no matter what age you are. Building a knowledge base can save your brain and skills from atrophy.

Ryan welcomes Bjarne Stroustrup, designer of C++ and professor at Columbia, to the show to dive into all things C++, from its history to where it's going today.

Ryan sits down with Galen Wolfe-Pauly, CEO of Tlon, to chat about calm computing and how humans can take back ownership of their data and digital world.

Adoption and trust are moving in diametrically opposed directions, and that gap has real implications for organizations deciding how to spend money on software.

Ryan hosts SmartBear’s VP of AI and Architecture Fitz Nowlan to explore how we’re moving away from old assumptions about software development, the challenges of testing MCP servers as LLM-driven agents introduce non-determinism that breaks tradition, and how data locality and data construction are b...

Ryan is joined by Nancy Wang, CTO of 1Password, to discuss the security challenges local agents present, how enterprises can create robust governance of credentials through zero-knowledge architecture, and the implications of agent intent and misuse in a world where AI agents are becoming more and m...

Coding guidelines and standards for agents need to be a little different—more explicit, demonstrative of patterns, and obvious.

Ryan welcomes Gee Rittenhouse, VP of Security at AWS, to the show to discuss the complexities of multi-stage attacks in cybersecurity and how these attacks unfold, the challenges in detecting them, and the evolving role of AI in both enhancing security and creating new vulnerabilities.

Ryan is joined by Stefan Weitz, CEO and co-founder of the HumanX Conference, for a conversation on how AI has evolved in the last year.

The risk isn’t just that we’ll get lazy and become lousy at critical thinking; the risk is that we’ll outsource our judgement and lose the ability to make qualitative, moral, and interpersonal judgments altogether.

Dana Lawson, CTO of Netlify, shares her insights on leading a lean, globally distributed engineering team that powers 5% of the internet.

Ryan sits down with Chainguard CEO Dan Lorenc to chat about how his team is keeping the foundation of the internet—open source projects—alive by forking archived but widely-used repos to provide security maintenance and dependency upgrades.

In February, we surveyed our users with research designed in partnership with OpenAI and found out that more developers than ever are using AI at work to learn, they are using other traditional online resources to validate but still find trust in AI a major barrier.

Ryan is joined by Jan Liphardt,  CEO and co-founder of OpenMind, to chat about the rapidly evolving world of humanoid robotics and what it means for humans, why OpenMind is building an open source operating system for robots that processes logic in natural language, and how putting Asimov’s Laws on ...

The difference between AI that impresses people in demos and AI that drives production value is context.

Ryan welcomes Kari Briski, NVIDIA’s VP of Generative AI Software for Enterprise, to the show to explore how a chip manufacturer got into the model development game.

So many platforms feel heavy because they mirror the organization, not the architecture the organization claims to want.

Ryan chats with Kevin Peterson, CTO of Bedrock Robotics, about the evolution of self-driving technology and why robotics is now advancing; how real data is still relevant but simulation becomes essential for scale; and the future of robotics in addressing labor shortages and enhancing productivity.

From interoperability to knowledge architecture to creating AI tools people can actually use, here’s a recap of what we learned from DeveloperWeek 2026.

In this sponsored episode, Ryan chats with Mark Cavage, President and COO of Docker, joins the show to dive into hardened containers and agent sandboxes.
