Episode: Amazon's AI outage, the engineer retention crisis, autonomous agents and the future of senior engineers
Description: The Amazon AI coding outage reignited a debate the industry can't ignore: is this an AI failure or a process failure, and does that distinction even matter anymore? Paige, Jack, Paul, and Noel dig into vibe coding culture, the engineer retention crisis, and the rise of harness engineering as a discipline in this month's panel. They also tackle autonomous agents running while you sleep, zero-touch engineering, what a senior engineer even means now, and whether open source can survive the agentic era.
