It’s gotten exponentially harder to identify talent that we feel is a good fit for our teams at the top of the application funnel.
Ryan is joined by Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog, to talk about applying observability to non-deterministic AI agents, blurring the boundaries between software development and production workflows, and navigating emerging challenges in AI security and tokenomics.
Agents don't build trust for another reason, structurally worse than the first. It isn't only that the tool keeps changing shape. It's that the feedback loop you would need in order to learn the tool is broken at the point of measurement.
Ryan chats with Erin Yepis, Senior Analyst at Stack Overflow, about the results from this year’s Annual Developer Survey, including the overwhelming daily usage of AI coding assistants despite lingering developer trust issues, the critical role of well-organized documentation in providing…
Below, we’ll highlight some of the results we found interesting about what's going in the life of technologists, their technologies, AI usage, and more.
Ryan chats with Julien Verlaguet, CEO at Skip Labs, about finding the balance between human tolerance and tooling constraints, the spectrum of typed programming languages, and building cost-effective tooling for AI agents.
This analysis compares the 2024 and 2025 Developer Survey data across three connected stories: the evolution of AI, humans at work, and demographics and community.
AI can make the first part remarkably fast. It can find the page, the discussion and the person who might know. The harder work begins when those sources disagree, or when they become stale.
Ryan sits down with Div Garg, CEO at AGI Inc., to talk about running AI agents entirely on mobile devices, optimizing models for edge computing chips, and building safety mechanisms into autonomous app interactions.
Ryan chats with David Burns, Head of Developer Advocacy and Open Source at BrowserStack, about the value of professional skepticism in an AI-driven world, applying test-driven development to agentic engineering, and why fixing flaky tests comes down to managing application state.
Ryan chats with the GM of Slack, Rob Seaman, about how their new Code Channels feature is bringing multiplayer AI to your team chats.
Ryan chats with Anush Elangovan, VP of Software at AMD, about ROCm's open-source unified toolchain for GPUs, how agentic AI is drastically lowering the barrier to entry for low-level hardware programming, and the rapid convergence of software and hardware development timelines.
Ryan sits down with Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO at O'Reilly Media, to talk about the role of books as user interfaces to knowledge, the power of "magic words" to extract better outputs from AI, and why human taste is becoming highly valuable as knowledge becomes a commodity.
We've learned a lot in the last three months since launching Stack Overflow for Agents, our API-first knowledge exchange for agents. Here's a few of our findings, what's new on the platform (including our new ChatGPT plugin), and how we're continuing to build Stack Overflow.
Ryan chats with Kevin Frazier, director of the AI Innovation and Law program at the University of Texas School of Law, about the legal and social impacts of data centers, the realities of workforce disruption, and regulating AI for child safety using existing consumer protection laws.
Ryan chats with Sam Curry, CSO at Zscaler, about where human intelligence sits in the new security landscape with AI, why shifting security protections closer to applications helps limit probes for vulnerabilities, and why building more resilient code infrastructure is the best way to address the…
For the past few years, we’ve been looking at ways to bring a little more of the individual developer back to Stack.
Ryan welcomes Markus Eisele to the program to talk about why your coding agent should be writing Java.
