Episode 52 — The Human Stack: Redefining Roles in the Agentic Era
As Agentic AI systems take on more reasoning, decision-making, and orchestration, where do humans fit in? This episode explores the rise of the Human Stack—a layered view of emerging human roles that shape, supervise, and make sense of autonomous systems. From context engineers and behavioral reviewers to ethical anchors and sensemakers, we uncover how the future of work isn't about resisting AI—it's about redefining ourselves in relation to it.

Escaping the AI Content Loop: Compression Without Context
This special episode invites you to pause. Step outside the usual arc of architectures, agents, and automation—and into reflection. We’re taking a moment to examine something more subtle but equally urgent: the loop we’re all caught in. The AI content loop.In a world of summaries of summaries, where original thought is compressed and repackaged until meaning fades, we risk losing the very essence of thinking. This episode explores how information is flattened by speed and efficiency, how nuance disappears through automation, and what it means to preserve depth in a world that prefers shortcuts.A deviation from our usual rhythm—this is a moment to sit back, breathe, and ask: Are we really informed… or just well-summarized?
Agentic AI is redefining what it means to write software. In this episode, we explore the rise of agentic programming models—where prompts replace procedures, memory becomes infrastructure, and behavior is shaped by context, not code. From new abstractions and debugging mindsets to cross-functional tooling, we unpack how the developer’s craft is transforming in a world where software doesn’t just run—it reasons.

Episode 50 – Outlearning the Agents: Human Ingenuity in the Age of Autonomy
In this 50th milestone episode, we turn the spotlight inward. As Agentic AI systems continue to accelerate in intelligence, autonomy, and orchestration, what does it mean for us—the humans behind the interface? This episode explores how to stay distinct, indispensable, and ahead—not by competing with AI on its terms, but by leaning into our own. From intuition to ethics, imagination to intent, we unpack the evolving human role in a world where software thinks and acts on its own. Thank you for being part of the journey so far. Here's to the next 50.

Episode 49: Crafting New Roles: The Rise of the Agentic Software Engineer
In this episode, we explore the transformation of the traditional software engineer in the era of Agentic AI. As agents shift from executing instructions to interpreting intentions, a new engineering role is emerging—one focused on designing behaviors, orchestrating reasoning loops, managing memory, and defining trust boundaries. We unpack what it means to be an Agentic Software Engineer, how testing and debugging evolve, and why building intelligent systems now demands a collaborative, cross-disciplinary mindset. Tune in to understand the future of engineering intelligent behavior—where prompts, policies, and purposeful design converge.
