**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.

046: okJesse - A deep discussion on okHttp, okio and Retrofit Jun 20, 2016

Show notes

Everyone loves Retrofit & okHttp. But how did they come about? Why ok? What was the need for such libraries? We went knocking on the doors of Square trying to find the answers to these question. We were lucky cause we found probably the nicest most brilliant Android/Java developer of our times - our good friend Jesse Wilson and without surprise, he crushes it!

He gives us the scoop on the origin stories of these amazing libraries and also gives us insight into okio and why it's such a game changer today.

045: Bluetooth (LE) with Dave (devunwired) Smith Jun 13, 2016

Show notes

We've always been curious about technology and the software surrounding embedded devices and the like. One such technology that's ubiquitous these days is Bluetooth (LE). In this show we talk with embedded technology expert and all round super smart AndroidDev Dave Smith a.k.a the wonderful devunwired.

We try to get a high level understanding of how Bluetooth works. From a developer's perspective, how does this tech work? Why should we as AndroidDevs be interested in this technology. What boundaries can we push? How can we effectively use this technology? In this episode we pick Dave's brain and try to answer some of these questions.
