Fragmented - AI Developer Podcast
Fragmented is a podcast for software engineers who want to use AI in real development work beyond casual vibe coding. It covers prompting, code review, testing, debugging, workflows, and building production-grade software with AI tools. Hosts Kaushik Gopal and Iury Souza share practical tactics from their experience as engineers using AI daily. The show focuses on helping engineers become better at their craft with AI rather than being replaced by it.

311 - Self learning harnesses are here
Claude Code and Codex have been the mainstay agent harnesses, with OpenCode and Pi as the popular open-source alternatives. But two new entries are pushing what a harness even is: DeepSeek's Cordis kernel, where everything — down to the agent loop itself — is a plugin you can hot-swap at runtime, and Prime Agent, an RLM-based harness that treats sub-agents and context as function calls in a live R
310 - Mitchell Hashimoto on Ghostty & His Agentic Coding Workflow
Mitchell Hashimoto co-founded HashiCorp, built some of the most impressive DevOps tools like Vagrant and Terraform, sold the company to IBM — and then built a terminal. Ghostty is now where a huge chunk of agentic coding actually happens. Mitchell was an AI skeptic. We walk through his six-step adoption framework and the workflows he uses day to day — warm-start research, Hail Mary prompts across
309 - Background Agents
Andrej Karpathy says the goal is to maximize how long an agent runs without your intervention. But there's a false summit most teams hit first: individual speed goes up while system speed stalls, your laptop roars under four parallel Gradle builds, and review queues back up. Kaushik and Iury trace the full arc — from local multitasking to cloud-hosted async work to fully autonomous agents that fir
