The Human Edge: Why Brownfield Codebases Need Mob Programming, Not Just AI Vibes
Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom and Ola Hast discuss the evolution of their software engineering practices past continuous deployment and pair engineering. The conversation continues where it left off in the previous episode and focuses on the experiments in adopting Claude Code and the reasons why they consider it good for everything else, but not coding.

How eBPF Empowers Developers to Observe inside the Linux Kernel in a Safe and Unintrusive Way
Daniel Finneran explores how eBPF has evolved far beyond its roots in packet filtering into a robust, safe way to extend the Linux kernel. He explains how the eBPF "verifier", the security guardrail, enables implementation of deep observability and networking without the risks of traditional kernel modules or the slow upstreaming process.
