  • Smart Takes for Modern Engineering Leaders

    Dev Interrupted is one of the most consistently insightful podcasts for engineering leaders and builders. It strikes a great balance between tactical conversations and forward-looking tech trends. The recent episode with Russ d'Sa from LiveKit really stood out—his take on AI gaining real-time sensory capabilities like voice and vision was both fascinating and grounded in real engineering challenges. As an eng-leader who’s worked at the intersection of platforms, AI, and product, I appreciated th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Do the models you use have an AI bill of materials? | CIQ’s Gregory Kurtzer
Q: How do you see an AI bill of materials evolving as something that leaders at companies are going to be talking about and auditing for their own AI usage?
Kurtzer says it can give companies visibility into model contents and training, helping them assess compliance and risk. He argues that this makes an otherwise unknown risk more manageable, while noting that copyleft implications for AI-trained code have not been litigated.
Do the models you use have an AI bill of materials? | CIQ’s Gregory Kurtzer
Q: What are the components of what makes open source possible in the world of AI?
Kurtzer says open-source AI requires the materials needed to create the model to be available, including open weights, artifacts, licenses, data and origins.
Multiplayer AI will revolutionize the way we work | OpenClaw Foundation’s Vincent Koc
Q: What opportunities do you see in a broader world setting for folks to use OpenClaw as a collaborative way to share and form and sharpen and deliver ideas?
Koc sees collaborative agents helping communities, artists, and groups build shared understanding and solve problems. He expects personal agents and interfaces tailored to specific user groups to make AI useful to a wider population.
Multiplayer AI will revolutionize the way we work | OpenClaw Foundation’s Vincent Koc
Q: What has it been like for you to interact with larger teams or teams of people that are using OpenClaw?
Koc explains that OpenClaw was not initially designed for enterprise use and acknowledges security concerns. He describes how internal frustrations led the team to develop shared multiplayer sessions, where people and agents can coordinate, join one another's work, and continue tasks across handoffs.
Why AI gains are unevenly distributed in your engineering team | Asana’s Arnab Bose
Q: How does Asana's approach address end-to-end workflow needs?
Asana leverages the work graph to connect tasks, teams, projects, and portfolios, and introduces enterprise-grade AI agents with shared memory, audit trails, and role-based access so AI can participate as a true teammate within the workflow, not just a standalone assistant. This enables end-to-end outcomes and iterative learning across the entire product lifecycle.
