What the Dev?: Recent Episodes
SD Times
What the Dev? is a podcast by the SD Times editorial team. We cover the biggest and newest topics in software and technology.
Dave and Ipek Ozkaya discuss the AI adoption maturity model created by Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute and Accenture. The model addresses issues like mismatched expectations, untested implementations, and misaligned applications that hinder AI investment returns. It includes eight core dimensions: organizational change, workforce and culture, workflow reengineering, risk and governance, data engineering, operations, technology ecosystem, and AI lifecycle engineering. The model progresses from exploratory AI to scaled AI, emphasizing the importance of strategic alignment, workflow reengineering, and ecosystem partnerships.
SD Times editor-in-chief Dave Rubinstein and Barun Singh of tech talent company Andela discuss the impact of AI on nurturing future developers. Singh emphasizes that while AI automates coding basics, core knowledge and critical thinking are still essential. He highlights the importance of code review, planning, and security, which require senior experience. Singh believes colleges should focus on foundational knowledge, and boot camps remain relevant due to their immersive learning approach. He notes a shift towards retraining existing talent rather than just recruiting new workers.
In this episode, David Rubinstein talks with Craig Kerstiens, Snowflake's Director of Software Engineering on Postgres, about the enduring popularity of Postgres, a 30-year-old database technology, due to its reliability and recent innovations like JSON support and vector store databases. He highlighted the challenge of integrating operational (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) data for AI applications, noting the importance of reducing latency and operational burden. Kerstiens introduced PG Lake, an open-source tool that embeds Iceberg in Postgres, simplifying data movement and querying. He also mentioned Snowflake's mirroring feature and the future of Postgres, emphasizing its continuous improvement and extension ecosystem.
Dave Rubinstein and Jonathan Macoskey discuss the limitations of current AI models in understanding context, particularly in enterprise settings. Macoskey explains that while language models have improved with internet connectivity, they still struggle with outdated information and proprietary data. He highlights Lovelace's context engine, which integrates data from various sources into a knowledge graph, addressing issues like entity resolution and recall. This system ensures AI agents can provide accurate, cited information, enhancing trust and decision-making. The conversation also touches on the challenges of scaling large language models and the importance of grounding AI responses in reliable data.
Dave Rubinstein, Editor in Chief of SD Times, discusses with Kumar Vikesh, Senior Product Owner at Progress Data Direct, the challenges of REST connectivity and the introduction of an AI-driven solution to automate the creation of model files for the Autonomous REST Connector. Progress Data Direct offers a standard connectivity platform with over 60 connectors and 100 data sources. The new AI-driven approach uses three agents: a generator, validator, and launcher, to create, validate, and test REST model files, reducing manual effort from days to hours. The solution is currently in an early access program, with plans for future general availability and integration with Visual Studio Code.
Dave discusses real-time voice AI with Mike Pappas, CEO of Modulate. Pappas explains that voice AI involves three key technologies: speech-to-text, language models, and text-to-speech. This technology is valuable in detecting fraud, ensuring policy adherence, and routing calls efficiently.
In this episode, Dave speaks with John D'Emic, cofounder and CTO at Revenium, about the challenges organizations face in managing costs and ROI of agentic AI initiatives. John explains that the transition from pre-production to production often reveals gaps in economic visibility, leading to "agent debt" due to unanticipated costs from API calls and tool usage.
In this episode with Dave Rubinstein, Cameron Etezadi, CTO of LaunchDarkly, discussed the challenges and misconceptions around Vibe coding. He highlighted that while code production has sped up, confidence in the quality of the code has decreased, with 91% of customers being less confident. He noted that 94% of customers are shipping more code but struggle with validation and quality.
He noted that 94% of customers are shipping more code but struggle with validation and quality.
This week, Dave discusses the issue of Zoom calls freezing despite good Wi-Fi with Shafi Khan, Principal Engineer at Cable Labs. Khan explains that the problem arises from a lack of bi-directional communication between applications and networks. Shafi introduces the Quality by Design framework based on intent-based APIs, which allows for real-time telemetry and end-to-end metrics. He explains the use of the open-source entity Kamara to provide APIs for developers and application builders.
In this episode, Dave Rubinstein speaks with Jaya Baloo, founder, COO and CISO at cybersecurity provider AISLE, about the implications of AI models like Anthropic's Mythos, which can discover and exploit vulnerabilities. The conversation touches on the existing challenges defenders face in keeping up with the volume of vulnerabilities, suggesting that AI has not made the situation worse but rather highlighted it.
In this episode, Dave Rubinstein, editor-in-chief of SD Times, sits down with Karthik Sj, General Manager of AI at LogicMonitor, to discuss the challenges and progress of AI in enterprise production. Among the topics discussed are:

The Swa platform also enables companies to build the security layer to manage who has access to what model.
In this episode, Dave talks with Kenneth Ziegler, CEO of Leapwork, about the findings of a survey on AI in testing, revealing that while 88% of companies are developing agentic software, only 13% are using AI for testing. He highlighted that 59-60% of testing remains manual, presenting an opportunity for AI to streamline processes. Ziegler emphasized the importance of speed, ease, and quality in AI adoption. He introduced Leapwork's new AI Studio, which integrates traditional no-code testing with AI-native continuous validation, aiming to address bottlenecks in agentic development by ensuring deterministic outcomes.
In this episode, SD Times editor-in-chief Dave Rubinstein speaks with Adam Seligman, CTO at Workato, about MCP and what Adam is calling AI strategy heartburn.
Seligman compares the current AI adoption to overeating at a buffet, emphasizing the need for a healthy approach to AI. He explains the magic of AI when it works but also its tendency to hallucinate or provide incorrect answers, likening it to the need for secure and trusted human interactions.
Traditional AppSec tools were created with the assumption that humans wrote code and security reviewed it afterward. But when AI generates code continuously and autonomously, at a speed no traditional security process can keep up with, vulnerabilities spread long before a scanner ever runs. Risk is compounding while security struggles to catch up.
In this episode, Dave Rubinstein speaks with Eran Kinsbruner, vice president of marketing at AppSec company Checkmarx. Among the topics discussed are:

In this episode, we interview Dylan Thomas, senior director of product engineering at OpenText Cybersecurity, about the evolution from shift left to shift everywhere.
At the end of 2024, he predicted: "In 2025, DevSecOps will continue evolving beyond the ‘shift-left’ paradigm, embracing a more mature ‘shift everywhere’ approach. This shift calls on organizations to apply the right tools at the right stages of the DevSecOps cycle, improving efficiency and effectiveness in security practices. Lightweight analysis in IDEs will help developers catch issues early, while automation integrated into pull requests and CI/CD pipelines will ensure a cohesive ‘integrate once’ approach for core functions such as SAST, SCA, and increasingly DAST, particularly for API security testing."
