How Too Much Information Destroys Agent Performance Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Most AI agents fail because you're using them wrong. Here’s what actually works in production.
In this episode, Simon Maple sits down with Itamar Friedman (CEO of Qodo) and Robert Brennan (CEO of OpenHands) at QCon AI. They pull back the curtain on why agents hallucinate, provide inconsistent answers, and ship low-quality code.
On the docket:
• Why a third of developer-reported AI output is incorrect
• Why you must separate creative coding agents from structured review agents
• How excessive information destroys agent performance
• Parallelizing agents across 1,000+ repositories to resolve CVEs and legacy debt
Recorded live at QCon, this one's straight from architects building the future of the AI-native dev cycle.

What AI Engineering Looks Like at Meta, Coinbase, ServiceTitan and ThoughtWorks Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

What does it take to make AI work inside engineering teams?
This high-stakes compilation episode with Ian Thomas (Meta), Wesley Reisz (ThoughtWorks), Sepehr Khosravi (Coinbase), and David Stein (ServiceTitan) goes inside the engineering rooms of the world's most sophisticated tech organisations to uncover how they're moving past AI hype into AI-native production.
On the docket:
• How Meta achieved 80% weekly AI adoption through grassroots community building instead of top-down mandates
• Why ThoughtWorks uses the RIPPER-5 framework to structure AI workflows and prevent agents from jumping straight to code
• When Coinbase engineers use Cursor versus Claude Code and why sub-agents are critical for managing context without bloat

On the docket:
• Reuven Cohen on why most agent systems fail and what agentic engineering demands
• Maor Shlomo on where vibe coding works, where it breaks, and how guardrails protect long-term software
• Maksim Shaposhnikov on developer autonomy, IDE vs terminal agents, and designing for delegation

Building an AI Agent in 100 Lines of Code | Yaniv Aknin Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

Before you add context, understand the context that’s already there.
In this episode, Yaniv Aknin, founding engineer at Tessl, explains the built in instructions that precede every user prompt, and why acknowledging that hidden layer is critical.
On the docket:
• why tool design matters more than raw reasoning ability
• how Codex does more with fewer tools
• how subagents let Claude stay flexible under context pressure
• why generalist models may adapt better to unfamiliar tools

Agent Experience Is the New Developer Experience | Sean Roberts Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

Your codebase already has AI contributors. If they don’t understand it, that’s on you.
In this segment from AI Native DevCon, Sean Roberts, VP of Applied AI at Netlify, explains why agent experience is, in fact, an extension of developer experience.
He also shares:

why hallucinations are what inference looks like when context is missing.
why knowledge graphs matter for large codebases.
using feedback loops to help agents learn from real deployments.
the downside of standardising on a single agent

What Holds Devs Back From Multi-Agent Thinking | Guy Podjarny Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

LLMs don’t get smarter when you dump everything into context, they get distracted.
At AI-Native DevCon, Guy Podjarny unpacks the evolution of AI augmented development, and how devs can get the most from current tools.
On the docket:
• how to help agents close the capability-reliability gap
• why 'context engineering is basically the same as specs.'
• why statistical measurement is the only meaningful way to judge agent reliability.
• how ‘tiles’ level inconsistent documentation across old and new libraries.

The Hidden Vulnerabilities Behind AI Code | René Brandel Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

If software can improve autonomously, why shouldn’t security?
On this episode of AI Native Dev, René Brandel, founder and CEO of Casco, explores how upfront specs enable reliable agent generated software, and how that same discipline drives Casco’s autonomous, continuously improving security.
On the docket:
• how small teams with self-improving agents can outperform large security orgs.
• why vibe coding is ideal for rapid prototyping and live customer iteration.
• what a practical, scalable specification format must solve for in real workflows.
