Pack your agentic stack in Slack

Pack your agentic stack in Slack

SPONSORED BY SLACK BY SALESFORCE Ryan welcomes Jaime DeLanghe, chief product officer at Slack, to chat about how they’re preparing to integrate everybody’s agents in their chat application. They chat about the similarities between bots and agents, managing the wealth of context available in enterprise chat, and how the best agent to agent protocols might be a DM.  Episode notes: Get started with building agents on Slack with their developer site [http://www.slack.dev/?d=701ed0000142IJTAA2&nc=701ed000013z9eEAAQ&utm_source=stackoverflow&utm_campaign=AMER_US_USCA_SLK_Evergreen_X_StackOverflow_Conc_SLACK-PG-BR-All-Image-TOF-Bus-Plus-Broad-Developers-All-Stackoverflow-Display&utm_content=cross-segment_all-x-so-_701ed0000142IJTAA2_english_www-slack-devUTM_term=show-notes].

Your fridge could be a threat to national security

On the floor of HumanX, Ryan is joined by Adam Meyers,  Senior VP of Counter Adversary Operations at Crowdstrike, for a deep dive on their latest Global Threat Report that tracks over 281 adversaries across nation states, e-crime, and hacktivist organizations. They discuss the new wave of phishing attacks that target identity and use social engineering, how foreign bodies are exploiting security flaws to get your information, and how you can protect yourself from attacks as AI makes both defenders and attackers smarter at what they do.  Episode notes:  Crowdstrike [https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/]’s latest Global Threat Report [https://go.crowdstrike.com/2026-global-threat-report.html] tracks 281 known adversaries' behavior and how they’re using AI, cloud exploits, and social engineering to steal your data and attack your software.  Connect with Adam on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-meyers-7a58481/].  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

Observability and human intuition in an AI world

In this two for one episode recorded at HumanX, Ryan is first joined by Christine Yen, CEO of Honeycomb, to discuss how AI compresses the software development lifecycle, making observability about capturing the right telemetry. Then, Spiros Xanthos, founder and CEO of Resolve AI, shares with us how AI coding increases code volume but decreases human intuition, making production operations harder than ever.   Episode notes:  Honeycomb [https://www.honeycomb.io/] is an observability platform that enables deep, high-dimensional exploration so you can debug unpredictable behavior with precision. Resolve AI [https://resolve.ai/] allows you to resolve incidents, optimize costs, and code with production context using AI that works across your code, infrastructure, and telemetry.

How Braze’s CTO is rethinking engineering for the agentic area

Jon Hyman, co-founder and CTO of Braze, joins Stack Overflow CPTO Jody Bailey on Leaders of Code to share how he's led the company's engineering organization over nearly 15 years of growth — and how they transformed into an AI-first team in just a few months. Jon explains some pivotal moments where his thinking shifted (watching his team ship an MCP server six weeks ahead of schedule will do that!) and talks candidly about the cultural and practical challenges of driving adoption across a 300-person engineering org. He explains how model quality, not mandates, was the key factor in winning over skeptics, and why over 60% of Braze's committed code is now AI-generated. Jon also addresses the harder questions: how to measure AI's real business value, the surprisingly steep cost of inference at scale, why "vibe-coding your way to scale" is folly, and what comes next as autonomous agents start building features overnight.

Connecting the dots for accurate AI

At HumanX, Ryan is joined by Philip Rathle, CTO at Neo4j to discuss what knowledge context means for AI agents, how limitations like stale training data make the model-only approach to agents a bad fit for enterprise environments, and how Graph RAG raises the bar for accuracy and reduces context rot by combining vectors with a knowledge graph so agents are more targeted and connected. Episode notes: Neo4j [https://neo4j.com/] is a native graph database management system designed to handle complex, highly-connected data by focusing on relationships rather than tables.
