The End of Coding Interviews As We Know Them
The whiteboard puzzle always tested the one mode the job never uses - alone, from memory, no help. We look at why AI finally makes that impossible to ignore, why hiring clings to it anyway, and what’s worth measuring instead.Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
Prompt Engineering Is Dead - Long Live Specification Engineering
We argue prompt engineering is already on its way out - and what’s replacing it is one of the oldest skills in software. When generating code gets cheap, deciding precisely what to build becomes the whole game.Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
AI Is Creating Two Kinds of Developers
A quiet split is forming in software teams - not junior versus senior, but developers who’ve learned to work with AI and those who’ve decided not to. We look at what the divide really is, why it compounds, and why plenty of brilliant people are on the wrong side of it.Written by James Studdart. Voiced using an AI model of his voice.
Why Your Team Doesn’t Own Anything
We dig into the gap between responsibility and ownership - why so many teams are accountable for outcomes they were never given the authority to control, and how “you own this” quietly becomes “you hold the pager”.
Remote Work Didn’t Kill Productivity - Bad Management Did
We take on the tidy story that remote work killed productivity. It didn’t - it removed the things that were hiding weak management. We look at the presence trap, what genuinely broke, and why the easy diagnosis pointed at the wrong people.
The Real Cost of Context Switching
We look at a cost that never shows up on any report: the wreckage an interruption leaves behind. Not the thirty-second question, but the twenty-minute rebuild, and why unpredictability, not volume, is what really destroys deep work.
Why Promotions Rarely Go to the Best Engineers
We pull apart a quiet truth most teams can see but rarely say: the strongest engineer often isn’t the one who gets promoted. We look at why visibility beats impact, why the best work leaves the least evidence, and what both sides can actually do about it.
Psychological Safety Is Not Being Nice
“Psychological safety” has quietly become a synonym for “being nice”, and in this episode we explain why that’s a problem. We look at what it really means, why the healthiest teams disagree more rather than less, why a quiet team isn’t necessarily a safe one, and what actually builds the kind of trust where bad news arrives early instead of late.
