Have you ever asked an AI to build something, only to realize it built the exact wrong thing? AI is incredible at generating code, but it lacks human judgment. In this episode, I share the story of building an internal A
As AI agents become capable of rewriting entire C compilers and Next.js repositories in days, the value of software is shifting away from the code itself. If LLMs write probabilistic code, how do you guarantee determinis
The role of the developer is changing. In this episode, we discuss how to stop being a "consumer" of AI prompts and start becoming a "producer" of AI systems. By shifting your focus from writing code to designing autonom
As software engineers, we are trained to control every detail—from code formatting to system architecture. But autonomous AI demands the exact opposite. In this episode, we discuss the "Autonomy Paradox." Learn why enfor
If you are dumping your entire codebase into Claude or Gemini and hoping for the best, you are doing it wrong. In today's episode, we tackle Context Engineering . AI agents have short-term memory (the Goldfish Problem) a
In this episode, I share a personal story of building an ERP system with AI in the field, and how it forced me to confront the "5 Stages of Grief" as a veteran software developer. The way we have written code for the las

Ever wished your AI could actually do things directly from your terminal, beyond just chatting? Google's new Gemini CLI is here, and it's a game-changer! Unlike previous closed-source tools, this open-source power tool b
Are Large Language Models (LLMs) truly intelligent, or just sophisticated pattern matchers? This episode dives deep into a fascinating debate sparked by Apple's recent research paper, which questioned the reasoning capab
Dive deep into the world of AI communication with this episode, focusing on the game-changing MCP (Model Context Protocol). Discover how this protocol, pioneered by Anthropic, acts as a universal translator, enabling AI
Dive into the rapidly evolving world of Large Language Models! This episode breaks down the latest updates on cutting-edge models like Gemini 2.5 Pro (with its 2 million context window), the ambitious Llama 4, GPT-4o's i
In this episode - I take on the task of explaining what vibe coding is, and if we should keep studing software engineering. I introduce some vibe coding tools, including the latest one Firebase Studio from Google
Last week OpenAI released a new model called O1 - which has advanced capabilities to reason and does a lot better in maths and coding. How does it do this and what does this change? This and more in this episode.
In the world of many open source LLM models, Google Gemma stands out with some unique capabilities. Firstly its made by Google after all - so its implementation is fully optimized and memory efficient. This and more on w
This episode dives into the exciting world of on-device AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs) running directly on your smartphone! We'll explore why cramming this powerful tech into your pocket is a game changer,
In this episode we cover the latest updates from Google IO and OpenAI Spring update. The all new ChatGPT-o and Gemini 1.5 Flash. We talk about where are LLMs headed next.
Lama3 is a popular open source model by Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. They have release the next iteration of the famous Lama2 model, this is a popular open source LLM which is heavily used b
As we move to use LLMs more and more for different use cases, we will run into at times issues or limitations with the model. There are many different ways to train the model to do a specific task better, and fine tuning
This episode covers my journey as a GDE over the last few years, what got me into it, and what is the big outcome. Also joined another category for GDE in Machine Learning.
