The Angular Show

Marina Wyss joins The Ai Dev Craft Show to talk about what it really means to become an AI engineer—and how developers can keep learning without trying to chase every new model, tool, and trend. The conversation covers the difference between AI engineering and machine learning, why evaluation is becoming such an important skill, how software engineers can transition into AI-focused roles, and why strong fundamentals still matter more than knowing every new framework. Marina also shares practical advice for choosing what to learn, building useful side projects, navigating AI careers, and staying current without burning yourself out. You can also hear Marina at Ai Dev Craft in Las Vegas, where she’ll speak on Staying Current with AI Without Losing Your Mind and lead a workshop on Evaluating AI Systems. https://www.youtube.com/@MarinaWyssAI https://www.instagram.com/marina.wyss/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-wyss/ www.marinawyss.com The Ai Dev Craft Show is a part of the Ai Dev Craft Conference happening Master October 27-28, 2026 Las Vegas.

Juri Strumpflohner joins The Ai Dev Craft Show to dig into the idea of AI-powered software factories—what they are, what they aren’t, and how close developers really are to building reliable agent-driven workflows. The conversation explores why code generation is no longer the biggest bottleneck, how verification and feedback loops are becoming more important, and what teams need in place before handing more work over to agents. They also cover context engineering, automation, agent memory, security, orchestration, and how tools like Nx and Polygraph can help agents work more effectively across complex codebases. Most importantly, the team looks at how developers can automate more of the repetitive work without removing human judgment from the process. https://juri.dev https://trypolygraph.com https://nx.dev https://metaharness.tools https://nx.dev/blog/software-factory-workflow-not-product https://herdr.dev https://x.com/juristr https://www.linkedin.com/in/juristr/ The Ai Dev Craft Show is a part of the Ai Dev Craft Conference happening Master October 27-28, 2026 Las Vegas.

The era of the "Ticket Closing Developer" is coming to an end. As AI masters the syntax and boilerplate of our industry, the line between a Senior Developer and a Technical Leader is blurring. This week on The Dev Life, we sit down with popular course instructor and content creator Tony Alicea to discuss the "missing education" required to survive and thrive in the age of LLMs. Tony argues that the skills traditionally reserved for managers - clear communication, rigorous spec writing, and systems thinking - are now the primary technical requirements for guiding AI effectively. In this episode, we dive into: - The Skill Atrophy Trap: How to use AI as a force multiplier without losing your deep technical intuition. - The "Manager" Pivot: Why writing a perfect spec is the most important "coding" skill you can develop in 2026. - Cascade Methodology: Why Agile and Waterfall are failing in the AI era and what should replace them. - Becoming an "Abstraction Breaker": Why understanding the layers under your tools is the only way to avoid obsolescence. Don’t just watch the future happen - learn how to lead it. Whether you're a senior dev or an aspiring architect, this conversation is your roadmap for the next phase of your career.
