**Fragmented – AI Developer Podcast**

Fragmented is an AI developer podcast for engineers who want to go beyond vibe coding and ship real software.

We cover AI-assisted development the way working engineers actually use it: prompting strategies, code review, testing, debugging, workflows, and building production-grade software with AI tools. No hype. No “I shipped a SaaS in a weekend” stories. Just tactics that work.

Hosted by Kaushik Gopal and Iury Souza — software engineers using AI daily to build and ship real products.

From vibe coding to software engineering — one episode at a time. Our goal: help you use AI to become a better engineer, not be replaced by one.

139: Static code analysis with Manu Sridharan Oct 24, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Donn and Kaushik talk to Uber's Manu Sridharan on static code analysis. Manu's a badass who did his PhD on the subject! He explains how static code analysis works, how Uber leverages these tools in their app development pipeline and how we can use such tools to build high quality Android apps.

Note from Manu:

I found the story I was thinking about: Reed Hastings founded the company that built the Purify tool for debugging memory errors in C programs before founding Netflix. But, that's actually not a static analysis tool; it does dynamic analysis by adding extra metadata at runtime.

As far as the history of lint goes, from Wikipedia looks like Kaushik's guess was exactly right as to why it's called lint. Looks like the name goes back to the late 1970s.

135: You Can't Learn Everything Sep 17, 2018

Show notes

Donn's on a roll again this week and talks to us about his experience having developed Android for a while. In the early days of Android development, as app developers we felt like we had a decent grasp of everything you needed to know to pump out decent apps.

But with the time, and the latest updates, that has become a tricky thing. This is a good problem to have for the ecosystem but it can make it seem very daunting for developers, both new and old.

Donn gives his 2 cents on this subject.

133: Dependency Injection and Service Locators in a Kotlin world with Danny Preussler Jul 23, 2018

A hotly debated topic at the moment is the use of a library like Dagger for dependency injection in the world of Kotlin. In this episode, we talk to Danny Preussler. Danny's a pro who's been around from the Java 1.0 days! He helps trace the history of dependency injection in Java all the way to today, in a Kotlin world where there exists alternatives like Koin and Kodine.

We dive into how some of these use a Service Loader/Locator pattern and the subtle differences with dependency injection. Listen on for an action packed episode.

Service Locators vs Dependency Injection

Your application is aware it's using a Service Locator, but your application should be totally un-aware that it's using a Dependency Injection Container.
