How engineers, PMs, and CTOs at leading tech companies are changing every stage of software development: from ideation to maintenance.
In conversation with the builders
Mike Spitz
Mike Spitz, CTO at Pro Football Focus, replaced sprint ceremonies with async specs and demo huddles once AI agents took on the build work. A feature once scoped at two sprints shipped in a day and a half, and design became the new bottleneck.

Andreas Kollegger has spent 15+ years building the graph database category at Neo4j. His finding: comparing documents in pairs multiplies the questions agents can answer from the same data.
Oct 14, 2026 · 36:28Noé Achache
Noé Achache's AI Engineering team at Theodo Data & AI ships AI features to enterprise users across Europe. His finding: chatbots fail adoption because users only unlock 5–10% of what the product can do before hitting a wall.
Sep 16, 2026 · 26:07Travis Frisinger
Travis Frisinger, Head of Agentic AI at 8th Light, built a 400,000-line internal platform by himself, the kind of build a team of three to five engineers would otherwise handle. He explains why designing the processes around the code matters more now than writing it, and where agentic products die at enterprise scale.

Small language models are up to 1,000x smaller than frontier AI like GPT-5.2 and Claude Opus. That's small enough to run on-device. Learn how Maxime Labonne is building SLMs at Liquid AI.

Almog Baku, a three-time founder now building AI-agent reliability infrastructure and the founder of GenAI Israel's 7,000-person community, has shipped more than 30 AI agents into production. His hard-won rule: build the agent expecting an epic failure, then design the systems that learn from it before real users hit send.
