DOP 375: AI Writes the Code. Who Understands It?

4 november 2026 · 49 min

#375: An agent can crank out 200 or 300 lines of code a minute. You can maybe review 40. So who's actually supposed to understand what just got merged? Lees meer

Maybe nobody ever did. Did you really read every line of every PR before AI showed up? Or did you just have the time? Now the junior has an agent, the senior is buried in review, and the job looks a lot more like management than coding.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk about who's supposed to understand the code once AI writes it, and why that's now the senior engineer's job.

DOP 374: Does AI Make Companies More Productive?

28 oktober 2026 · 56 min

#374: Your company is paying for the AI licenses, and now there's a number attached. Two to three times the output, every day, or else. Can you hit it? If they're counting lines of code, sure. Lees meer

But you aren't the company. If everyone on the team gets faster on their own and the handoffs between them stay exactly the same, does anything ship sooner? Most AI today is single player. Your company probably isn't.

In this episode, we speak with Tomasz Tunguz, founder of Theory Ventures, about why faster individuals don't add up to a faster company, and what that changes for startups and the people funding them.

DOP 373: Are Layoffs Really Because of AI?

21 oktober 2026 · 45 min
Afspelen

#373: A company lays off 4,000 people the same day it posts record revenue, and the stock jumps. Is that really because of AI? Or just a really good press release? Lees meer

Layoffs used to mean a company was bleeding cash. Now they show up next to record quarters, and AI gets the credit. Doesn't matter much if you're the one who got rapidly reallocated. You still need a job.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk about AI as the current layoff scapegoat and what to do when you end up on the wrong side of it.

DOP 372: Using AI Every Day Doesn't Make You Good at It

#372: Your company bought everyone a ChatGPT or Claude license. Problem solved, right? A few people never touch it. Most use it like a drive-through window -- type a question, grab the answer, leave. And the ones using it all day for emails assume that makes them good at it. Lees meer

But think about it. Your kid had to pass a written test before driving the car. Your team got the keys and a login.

In this episode, we speak with Chris Daigle, founder and CEO of ChiefAIOfficer.com, about what actually turns daily AI use into real skill.

DOP 371: Should You Vibe Code Your Own CRM?

#371: You've got an idea, two friends, and a coding agent. Why would you pay for a CRM when you can vibe code one this weekend? Day one, it looks great. You love it. Lees meer

Then day 30 shows up. Somebody else needs access, a new feature breaks an old one, and you're asking yourself where this thing is even hosted. Pretty soon you're spending more time maintaining your CRM than running your business.

In this episode, we speak with Eddie Cliff, VP and GM of SMB and Growth Products at Salesforce, about when to build and when to buy.

DOP 370: Will AI Replace QA Testers?

#370: Will AI replace QA testers? Three years ago, manual testers were told to learn automation or find another job. Now the automation engineers are hearing the same thing about AI. Same speech, new audience. Lees meer

Here's the thing. Nobody can test everything. Somebody still has to decide what quality means for your product and which workflows can't break, and your team is shipping ten times the code it used to. The conveyor belt got faster. You still have two eyes.

In this episode, we speak with Shubha Govil, Chief Product Officer at Sauce Labs, about why the testing roles stay but the work doesn't.

DOP 369: Vibe Coding Without the Slop

23 september 2026 · 49 min

#369: Vibe coding is great until it isn't, and the until part usually shows up fast. Ten different ways to calculate sales tax. An agent that switches programming languages in the middle of a request. One team on NodeJS, another on Python, and nobody with a rule about either. So who's supposed to stop that? Lees meer

Turns out that's a job now. Somebody has to tell the agents what they can and can't do, encode it, and then prove it held.

In this episode, we speak with Dan Fernandez, Vice President of Product for Developer Services at Salesforce, about harness engineering, what actually counts as slop, and why Heroku isn't dead.

Disclosure: Salesforce paid for Darin's travel and hotel to attend Dreamforce 2026. They did not review, approve, or influence this episode. The questions, the opinions, and the editing are ours.

DOP 368: The AI Productivity Paradox

16 september 2026 · 54 min

#368: You're faster with AI. Your teammates are faster with AI. More tickets closed, more deployments going out than a year ago. So why can't anybody in the building answer a simple question: are we shipping more value? Lees meer

Jeff's take is that the bottleneck didn't go away, it moved. Code got cheap. Deciding what to build, why, and whether it actually worked did not. That's not an engineering problem anymore. It's a product problem.

In this episode, we speak with Jeff Keyes, Field CTO at Allstacks, about where the bottleneck went once AI made coding cheap, and why product people have to pick up the tools next.

DOP 367: Zero-Human Companies Still Need Humans

9 september 2026 · 41 min
Afspelen

#367: Every few weeks another pitch lands. A company with no employees, just a founder and an army of AI agents. Zero headcount. Zero payroll. Then the AI CMO hallucinates a marketing campaign and somebody has to catch it. Lees meer

Viktor runs the numbers on his own one-person operation. He can review maybe five things a night. Want a hundred a day? That is nineteen more people. The math is not kind to the pitch.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss why zero-human is the new serverless, and where the humans actually go once the agents are doing the work.

DOP 366: How to Prevent npm Supply Chain Attacks

2 september 2026 · 53 min
Afspelen

#366: You ran npm install this morning. Maybe you ran it a dozen times. Every one of those pulled down a dependency tree you have never read, from a registry that spent years in maintenance mode, and then executed whatever preinstall and postinstall scripts happened to be in there. On your laptop. With your keys sitting on disk. Lees meer

Trusted publishing, provenance, staged releases - all good, all recent, and none of it stops a package from shipping malware.

In this episode, we speak with David Mytton, CEO of Arcjet, about defense in depth for the npm ecosystem, and why seven days of patience beats most of your tooling.
