Ryan welcomes Bryan Clark, director of product for Lakebase at Databricks, to discuss what happens when AI agents become the primary creators and users of databases; why agents are “sloppy” about cleaning up infrastructure; and how database branching, scale-to-zero, and centralized access control ca...

AI reliability issues stem from three separate architectural challenges that keep getting lumped into the same category. Prompt engineering alone can't fix them. But the sourcing and verification frameworks media organizations have used for centuries translate into clear engineering solutions develo...

Ryan welcomes back Tanya Janca, now part of the OWASP Top 10 team, to discuss what changed in the latest OWASP Top 10 release, how the list shifted from “outdated components” to a broader software supply chain focus, and why they added memory safety and vibe-coding as awareness items.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍...

From the floor of HumanX, Ryan welcomes Songyee Yoon, managing partner at Principal Venture Partners (PVP), to chat about AI development outside the US, from the need to adapt models to local languages and culture to the challenges of the global supply-chain for things like semiconductors to how ven...

In this two-for-one special recorded at HumanX, Ryan is joined by Dataiku’s Florian Douetteau to chat about the governance, orchestration, and data requirements for serious agentic systems and 1Password’s Nancy Wang for a conversation on making agent swarms secure.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍...

If AI is the new power tool for developers, is there still value in artisanal craft when anyone can be a builder?

AI’s impact on software engineering continues, and more and more of that AI is packaged as agents as results from our newest pulse survey show agentic usage has almost doubled (59%) since we last asked about it in our annual Developer Survey

From the floor of HumanX, Ryan Donovan is joined by Peter Salanki, CTO and co-founder of CoreWeave, to chat about what it really takes to run AI in production; the growing importance of observability, utilization, and scheduling; and Peter’s advice for avoiding the trap of over-architecting too earl...

Experiments in agentic engineering and AI-driven development

Recorded at HumanX, Ryan sits down with Garima Kapoor and Anand Babu Periasamy, co-founders and co-CEOs of MinIO, to chat about eliminating the storage bottlenecks that leave GPUs underutilized, their partnership with NVIDIA on the new STX reference architecture, and why modern AI infrastructure is ...

With much of a software engineer’s time moving from writing code to structuring prompts and reviewing code, the workday is getting denser and more intense. Can AI solve the problems it's causing?

Ryan welcomes Jaime DeLanghe, chief product officer at Slack, to chat about how they’re preparing to integrate everybody’s agents in their chat application.

On the floor of HumanX, Ryan is joined by Adam Meyers,  Senior VP of Counter Adversary Operations at Crowdstrike, for a deep dive on their latest Global Threat Report that tracks over 281 adversaries across nation states, e-crime, and hacktivist organizations.

Because someone still has to own the consequences of what gets built and whether it can function at scale.

In this No Dumb Questions, Phoebe is joined by Stack Overflow’s tech lead for the infrastructure team, Josh Zhang, to learn about the cloud, compute, and data centers.

In this two for one episode recorded at HumanX, Ryan is first joined by Christine Yen, CEO of Honeycomb, to discuss how AI compresses the software development lifecycle, making observability about capturing the right telemetry. Then, Spiros Xanthos, founder and CEO of Resolve AI, shares with us how ...

Jon Hyman, co-founder and CTO of Braze, shares how he's led the company's engineering organization over nearly 15 years of growth — and how they transformed into an AI-first team in just a few months.

Why AI-accelerated teams keep breaking production — and what the ones that don't are doing differently

At HumanX, Ryan is joined by Philip Rathle, CTO at Neo4j to discuss what knowledge context means for AI agents, how limitations like stale training data make the model-only approach to agents a bad fit for enterprise environments, and how Graph RAG raises the bar for accuracy and reduces context rot...

Signature-based detection has always known what it was looking for. Machine learning and autonomous agents are changing the question entirely, shifting from "does this match a known pattern?" to "does this actually make sense in context?"

If you’ve got something you’ve been dying to share with the Stack Overflow community but don’t quite have a place to share it, we've got you.

Welcome to No Dumb Questions, a column where our least technical writer asks our technical staff the simple, basic tech questions people are afraid to ask. In this first entry, Stack's Director of Ecosystem Strategy Ben Marconi teaches us the basics of MCP servers and why they matter.
