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.

Agents moved where the work happens (and using MCP to find it again) | Slack’s Jaime DeLanghe
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Dev Interrupted, Slack’s Chief Product Officer, Jaime DeLanghe, joins the show to explain why enterprise AI value depends on embedding custom bots directly into your existing team communication loops rather than deploying them inside isolated, single-player chat silos. She breaks down the platform's shift toward open ecosystem standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how dynamic UI frameworks are transforming standard channels into active execution environments. Jaime details the operational realities of managing autonomous software fleets, including a striking look at how leading companies are placing hundreds of custom agents directly onto their corporate org charts.
