Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A practical look at using AI-assisted development inside a disciplined integration loop.
AI-assisted development gets a grounded, practice-level treatment as Michael Perry frames it around scaffolding, testing, and team habits. Perry, a director at Improving Enterprises and self-described software mathematician, explains how Docker Compose can help bring connected…
Aaron Stannard explains how AI coding tools can game software checks, and how Slop Watch tries to catch that behavior.
AI-assisted coding can look finished while quietly missing the point, and Aaron Stannard gives that risk a useful frame. The episode focuses on reward hacking: an LLM can make a test suite pass by disabling tests, bury warnings in MSBuild, or leave empty catch blocks,…
A practical look at Copilot moving from code suggestions into multi-file edits, review, and security checks.
GitHub's 2025 story is less about a smarter autocomplete and more about Copilot seeing the shape of the whole job. April Yoho gives that shift a practical center, linking broader assistance to the dependency work that makes multi-file changes hard to avoid.
A practical look at .NET Aspire, database APIs, and the observability details that help teams find lag.
Jerry Nixon's conversation on .NET Aspire keeps databases inside the developer experience, not parked as something to attach at the end. It moves through Data API builder support for Microsoft SQL, Postgres, Cosmos DB, and MySQL, along with its REST and GraphQL surfaces,…
A practical .NET-focused review of agents, tools, message passing, and MCP as software architecture topics.
AI in .NET comes across as a software design problem first. The guest treats an agent as configured software: a system prompt, a chosen model and service, tuning settings like temperature or top p, and tools that can answer calculator requests, process HR forms, or handle…
A history-of-Agile conversation that feels current in an AI-shaped software world.
Jeff Sutherland uses the conversation to revisit Agile's history and point toward the pressure AI is putting on development. The episode works best when it stays on Scrum and first principles, with the host keeping the discussion on quality, speed, and steady judgment.
Host Jack Rhysider narrates true hacking, breach, and privacy stories from the people involved.
David Pierce and Verge staffers cover AI industry news, gadgets, and tech policy weekly.
Long-form interviews on AI coding agents, infrastructure, and security, plus a recurring SED News roundup.
Founders and engineers on AI coding agents like Claude Code, and supply chain security.
David Sparks and Stephen Robles dig into Keyboard Maestro, Shortcuts, and Mac automation weekly.
Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, discusses the deep history of Agile, tracing it back to West Point, fighter pilot operations, and Stanford AI research.
This episode features an interview with Adrienne Braganza-Tucca, focusing on code review patterns and principles in software development, hosted by Jeffrey Palermo who also discusses his new book on software leadership and the podcast's sponsorship by Clear Measure.
This episode features an interview with David Lykken, a veteran mortgage executive, focusing on AI from a business and strategic perspective rather than technical details.
AI DevOps Podcast episode 397 centers on Michael Perry's AI-assisted development workflow, his software-mathematics background, and his software-factory approach to team delivery.
Aaron Stannard, founder of Petabridge and co-maintainer of Akka.net, argues that AI pushes software work from typing code toward planning and verification.
April Yoho says GitHub's 2025 pitch is no longer just source control but an end-to-end platform built around security, compliance, and agentic AI.
Jerry Nixon, principal program manager on the SQL Server team and a professor at Colorado Christian University, joins Jeffrey Palermo to talk about .NET Aspire, Data API Builder, and Microsoft database tooling.
Stephen Toub says AI is moving from Copilot, ChatGPT, Outlook, Word, and Excel into .NET software that can fill forms, call tools, and act for users.
Jeffrey Palermo interviews Daniel Roth about .NET 10 Preview 1, discussing software development and DevOps practices.
An interview with James Montemagno about .NET Aspire, AZD, and Bicep for Azure DevOps.
