Welcome to Signals, the podcast where we step back from the hype to really look at what's shaping technology and the industries around it. In each episode, we talk with industry experts to surface real trends, question our assumptions, and unpack why things work the way they do today. We're not just focused on what's new, but on the decisions, defaults, and debates that got us here, and what they might mean in the long run.

The End of Coding as We Know It
In this episode, host Michael Dowden sits down with Nir Kaufman to discuss the future of software development and how AI is reshaping the role of developers. They explore why communication, context management, and prompt engineering are becoming essential skills in this new era. Kaufman shares his perspective on a potential "big bang" moment for AI, where the current AI hype bubble will eventually burst and force the industry to refocus on delivering real value. The conversation also touches on where AI is making a meaningful impact, and where challenges like security and overinvestment continue to loom.
Vibe Coding Beyond the Hype
In this episode, host Michael Dowden sits down with John Davies, CTO of Incept 5, to unpack what he calls the “utterly crazy” pace of AI innovation. They explore the rise of vibe coding, where developers shift from writing code to orchestrating AI bots, and where fully functional apps can be built in days instead of months. But with this acceleration comes new responsibility: privacy risks, private vs. public LLMs, and the critical role of human-led QA in high-stakes industries like finance and healthcare. The conversation also examines how AI is reshaping job roles, democratizing development, and moving the real bottleneck from coding to creativity. Davies argues that AI won’t replace developers, but developers who use AI will replace those who don’t.
