Dev Interrupted
Software itself is fundamentally changing. We explore the transition to agentic orchestration, vibe coding, and AI-native development, grounding the conversation in the principles that have always defined great engineering.
On Tuesdays, we interview the founders, architects, and builders of the world’s most impactful tech to uncover the timeless engineering principles and strategies shaping the next era of development.
And on Fridays, we drop an end-of-week roundup of the biggest news in AI and software, and what it actually means for your career, your craft, and your life as a developer.
Subscribe to stay ahead of the next era of code.

Your keyboard is the real bottleneck | Wispr’s Sahaj Garg
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your keyboard is the biggest bottleneck in your engineering workflow. This week, Andrew sits down with Wispr co-founder and CTO Sahaj Garg to discuss why traditional voice dictation failed us, and how his team is rebuilding trust by using contextual models to capture a developer's raw intent rather than treating speech models as "dumb" tools that just produce literal transcripts. Together, they explore the engineering hurdles of translating a messy stream of consciousness into perfectly formatted, zero-edit artifacts that can be instantly understood by both AI coding agents and human coworkers. Finally, Sahaj shares his framework for experimenting with new tools and why surviving this era of software development requires completely reinventing yourself and your organization every three months.
