Work is broken. Not in a LinkedIn-thought-leader way. In a "we spent 18 months on a transformation and nothing changed" way. Ben unpacks what actually moves the needle with practitioners, engineers, and leaders who've been through it. New episodes every two weeks.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Engineering Management In The Age Of AI
Q: Can you walk me through the AI stack of an engineering team at Big Tech, and is it all about the Claude ecosystem?
There isn't a single stack; most companies mix Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other tools, with some internal services to help debugging, and the setup varies by company maturity and needs.
#54 Matas Rastenis On Augmenting Engineers At Uber
Q: What does the typical rollout look like for a new AI tool?
Rollouts involve multi-channel communication, show-and-tell sessions, hands-on workshops, and engineer leads signaling support to build credibility and encourage adoption.
#54 Matas Rastenis On Augmenting Engineers At Uber
Q: How does Uber decide what AI tools to bring into the engineering workflow?
They use a funnel starting with popular sentiment and benchmarks, then internal testing with large repositories to ensure tools actually improve productivity before broader rollout.
#53 Matthias Wagner From Flux On AI For Hardware Engineers
Q: How does Flux actually design PCB boards with AI?
Flux uses a combination of frontier-model reasoning, a curated part library with rich metadata, and iterative user feedback to generate schematics and layouts, enabling engineers to describe what they want in plain language and have the tool produce the hardware design.
#53 Matthias Wagner From Flux On AI For Hardware Engineers
Q: What sparked the move from music tech to Flux and hardware AI?
Wagner describes growing frustration with outdated PCB software and the realization that true hardware/software integration required new tooling, which led him to start Flux after a Burning Man project spurred a pivot toward solving real engineering bottlenecks.
