We all know @pidotdev is a masterclass in nailing the core primitives. How do they do it? On the latest @FragmentedCast, I had the distinct honor of finding out the answer from the legends themselves - @badlogicgames & @mitsuhiko of @earendilworks. They help unpack the engineering philosophy behind Pi and its new library, Pi Durable. I learnt a tonne, and they helped formulate a few rules I'm going to carry strongly forward in this AI coding era: 1️⃣ Keep primitives simple enough to fit in your head. 2️⃣ Agents can deal with tedium no sweat; go with explicit state declarations over automagic checkpointing. 3️⃣ Sometimes, you just can't machine learn your way out of software engineering. They shared a tonne of other insights in the most jovial way possible ❤️ Grab those headphones and listen to the full episode 👇 fragmentedpodcast.com/episod… YouTube: youtu.be/7mBQknCnovM Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4Kv…

Self-learning harnesses are here. After @deepseek_ai released their new harness, even the authors of Pi & OpenCode said there were some super compelling ideas in there. But what exactly? @IurySza and I take a shot at explaining it in @FragmentedCast

This week @kaushikgopal and I had the pleasure to chat @mitchellh on the pod🎙️! Refreshing to hear someone of his caliber bring such a grounded perspective to agentic coding. We also talked about Ghostty, and how terminal performance gains make tools like Claude Code possible. (He even explains what's behind scrollback perf issues). A lot of gems in this one. Check it out!
🎙️ Our first guest in the AI series is the legend @mitchellh 🎙️ We covered a lot of ground and learned a tonne from him: 👻 Ghostty's internals and why tmux & certain shells strip its best features. His path from AI skeptic to cautious optimist.

I’ve been a @FragmentedCast listener since before my first dev job. It’s surreal to join @kaushikgopal as co-host for this new AI-focused season! So I'm super excited to get into the ins and outs of AI coding. What works, what doesnt, and how to approach it. Let’s do this!🎙️🤘
it's been a minute, but we're finally back! my new co-host @IurySza analogy on AI, is seriously one of the best 😂

excited to end the @FragmentedCast hiatus with a new season: a developer's crash course on AI programming. just enough theory but more "how do I actually build with this?" i'll start with fluency, then dive deep. help me shape the first few episodes:

After listening to Fragmented for many years, I now got to be on there as a guest. Never would've expected it back in the day - even now, to be honest. Thanks so much @kaushikgopal again for having me, and for everyone: enjoy this casual chat about build tooling and Amper!
🎧 Episode #252 of @FragmentedCast is out. Everyone needs a starter template! We also talk to @zsmb13 from @jetbrains about #Amper (their new build & config tool). Listen here: fragmentedpodcast.com/episod… #AndroidDev #Podcast

New website for @FragmentedCast up at fragmentedpodcast.com ! Done my best to port Wordpress content over. If you see 404s please let me know. The search is much more useful and ⚡ so hopefully folks find content if it went missing in the process. #androiddev #podcast #SSG
Big changes coming to Fragmented 🎙️ We’re moving from Wordpress → a leaner, simpler website. Long overdue and shipping in the next few days! We also recorded our SemiQuincentennial (that's #250) episode with some very very big announcements. Drops next week—stay tuned!

Changing careers into tech is a daunting task. There is much to learn & it's hard to find a job when you're just starting out. This week I talk to Ephraim Schmitt on the @FragmentedCast about changing careers from an exotic car salesman to a developer: fragmentedpodcast.com/episod…
