Working Code
Working Code is a technology podcast unlike all others. Instead of diving deep into specific technologies to learn them better, or focusing on soft-skills, this one is like hanging out together at the water cooler or in the hallway at a technical conference.

272: Let Me Prompt That For You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LLMs have read everything, but they haven't spent fifteen years at the company learning which rules actually matter. Can a model ever bring a career's worth of experience to a decision, or is human wisdom overrated to begin with? And now that every answer starts with "let me ask Claude", are we really more productive than ever, or have we all just hired a ghostwriter? This week we discuss the abdication of opinion.

271: Slop Is the New Clean (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Uncle Bob wrote the book on clean code, and the whole argument rests on one number: you read code ten times for every time you write it, so you'd better make it readable. His agents write it now, and he doesn't read a line. This week we discuss who clean code is for now that machines are the ones reading it.

Read excerpt
Worrying about AI is the easy part. Everyone already has a list. The interesting part is what lands on it, what doesn't, and why. From military use, to an AI slop takeover, to the possibility that the tools are making us stupider. This week, the hosts respond to a question from the State of Devs survey: “Which of these general AI risks and issues are you most concerned about?” Follow the show and be sure to join the discussion on Discord!

268: Nobody Wants to Meet Up Anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody went to conferences for the talks. You went for the hallway, and for a roomful of people who'd made the same odd career bet you had. We didn't know how good we had it. COVID hit, AI is now everyone's best buddy, and now all these meetups and spaces are slowly disappearing. This week the hosts go looking for what's left of the developer hang.
