The AI Native Dev - from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow

What AI Engineering Looks Like at Meta, Coinbase, ServiceTitan and ThoughtWorks

What does it take to make AI work inside engineering teams? This high-stakes compilation episode with Ian Thomas (Meta), Wesley Reisz (ThoughtWorks), Sepehr Khosravi (Coinbase), and David Stein (ServiceTitan) goes inside the engineering rooms of the world's most sophisticated tech organisations to uncover how they're moving past AI hype into AI-native production. On the docket: • How Meta achieved 80% weekly AI adoption through grassroots community building instead of top-down mandates • Why ThoughtWorks uses the RIPPER-5 framework to structure AI workflows and prevent agents from jumping straight to code • When Coinbase engineers use Cursor versus Claude Code and why sub-agents are critical for managing context without bloat • How ServiceTitan migrated 247 legacy metrics in three weeks using self-healing validation loops and standardized agent tasks If you're trying to make AI useful inside your team, this episode shows exactly what matters.

What Developers Need To Know About Agents Before 2026

2025 changed what it means to be a developer. And 2026 is about to change even more. This Tessl episode brings a year-end reflection on how agents reshaped software development and what developers need to unlearn next, featuring Reuven Cohen, Founder of the Agentic Foundation, Maor Shlomo, Founder of Base44, and Maksim Shaposhnikov, Technical Member at Tessl. On the docket: • Reuven Cohen on why most agent systems fail and what agentic engineering demands • Maor Shlomo on where vibe coding works, where it breaks, and how guardrails protect long-term software • Maksim Shaposhnikov on developer autonomy, IDE vs terminal agents, and designing for delegation This episode looks ahead to 2026 and examines the systems developers will be responsible for next.

Why Faster AI Development Often Increases Rework | Cian Clarke

Vibe coding is only good at creating a sense of progress for devs. In this episode of AI Native Dev, Cian Clarke, head of AI at Nearform, joins Simon Maple to talk about BMAD, their spec-driven approach that prioritizes clarity before code over prompt first development. They also get into: • speed upfront vs. maintainability over time • why senior engineers gain leverage as junior pathways narrow • the cultural shift needed to scale AI-generated software beyond solo builders AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI. Tune in as we engage with engineers, founders, and open-source innovators to talk all things AI, security, and development.  Connect with us here:  1.

Building an AI Agent in 100 Lines of Code | Yaniv Aknin

Before you add context, understand the context that’s already there. In this episode, Yaniv Aknin, founding engineer at Tessl, explains the built in instructions that precede every user prompt, and why acknowledging that hidden layer is critical. On the docket: • why tool design matters more than raw reasoning ability • how Codex does more with fewer tools • how subagents let Claude stay flexible under context pressure • why generalist models may adapt better to unfamiliar tools AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.

How New Libraries Saw a 50% Improvement | Maria Gorinova

We’re holding probabilistic systems to deterministic standards. In this episode of AI Native Dev, Simon Maple talks with Maria Gorinova, Member of Technical Staff at Tessl, about the mismatch between how developers expect software to behave, and how agents actually do. • how structured context improves abstraction use  • why agent reliability can only be demonstrated through measurement  • how Tessl’s tiles improve reliability without bloating context AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.
