Brandon interviews Dan Manges, co-founder and CEO of RWX, about why continuous integration is the bottleneck for engineering teams working with coding agents. Manges, previously CTO at Braintree and Root, explains that he started RWX after watching CI tooling fail to scale with fast-growing codebases in regulated industries. He argues that feedback loops under five to ten minutes keep engineers in a flow state, and that slower loops push people (and agents) into costly context switching. Ma...
Brian and Brandon open mid-October’s AI news of the month by asking whether a yes-or-no answer engine like Jev could have saved the Commanders from a clock-management meltdown, and why a binary classifier is worth a reported $7.5 billion. A six-month check-in on their May AI draft leaves the scorecard roughly even, with Anthropic the clear winner over Google. Then come the financial cracks. CoreWeave’s borrowing costs have reportedly jumped from around 7% to about 15%, adding to Oracle’s cont...
Brandon interviews Dominic Williams, founder, president, and chief scientist of the DFINITY Foundation, about the Internet Computer and why he set out to build a new back-end compute stack. Williams traces his path from building the kids' MMO Fight My Monster, one of the first serious production users of Cassandra, to decentralized networks and the founding of DFINITY in 2016. He explains the thesis behind the Internet Computer: a stack of software running down to the silicon can never be ful...
Brandon interviews Stephen O'Grady, principal analyst and co-founder of RedMonk, about his 2013 book *The New Kingmakers* and his recent follow-up, "Agents: The new, New Kingmakers." O'Grady explains that the original thesis was simple: developers had gone from an afterthought in technology purchasing to the group whose choices determined what got used, driven first by open source (the LAMP stack, Linux) and then by cloud services like S3 and EC2 that removed the need to ask for budget. The t...
Brian (@bgracely) and Brandon (@bwhichard) discuss the biggest AI news stories from the second half of September 2026. Oracle sent a force majeure notice on a major data center build, which Brandon reads as an early signal worth tracking. If other companies follow, it would point to stress in AI infrastructure commitments, and if not, it is a one-off. Brian suggests the industry needs a "Jenga chart" of whose money is propping up whose, with the contractors who actually pour concrete at the b...
