About the ADI Pod
Three engineer friends argue about AI so you don't have to.
Shimin Zhang, Dan Lasky, and Rahul Yadav are working developers trying to make sense of how AI is transforming our profession. We cover model releases, research papers, and tools — and occasionally have existential crises about the future of our craft on air.
If you want to understand AI deeply, use it effectively, and laugh at the absurdity of the current moment in tech, this is the show. No LinkedIn cringe. No corporate hype. Strong opinions, questionable metaphors, and genuine love for the craft.
What We Cover
- AI news for working developers — Model releases, acquisitions, and open-source developments that actually matter to people writing code
- Deep technical dives — Hallucination mechanisms, agentic memory, LLM architectures, and whatever paper caught our attention that week
- Practical technique talk — Spec-driven development, multi-agent systems, and mistakes we've made so you don't have to
Recurring Segments
- Two Minutes to Midnight — Our AI bubble tracker. We watch the funding patterns, infrastructure spending, and GPU economics so you can calibrate your own hype detector.
