In this episode of Agents of Dev, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin explore how Teradata is evolving into an open data platform designed for AI, hybrid search and agentic workflows.

They also examine the growing importance of AI security, including what OpenAI’s potential PromptFu acquisition could signal for the future of securing AI-generated software.

The conversation breaks down the rise of verification debt in AI-generated code, why software teams are changing applications more frequently than ever, and how AI is helping developers manage an overwhelming volume of technical information.

This episode connects the dots between open data platforms, AI agents, software quality, security and observability — and what it all means for the future of software development.

Is your IT ready for the AI-driven future?

In this episode of Agents of Dev, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin explore IBM’s DB2 Genius Hub and how it simplifies database operations, accelerates root cause analysis, and helps modernize enterprise IT environments.

They go beyond database tools to examine the broader transformation AI is driving across infrastructure, development, and analytics workflows, highlighting the need for “observability native” platforms and new approaches to managing autonomous AI agents.

From understanding AI behavior to integrating FinOps practices, this discussion reveals how organizations can modernize without losing operational control and why observability will be at the center of next-generation IT.

The era of 'dumb storage' is officially dead, replaced by a world where AI doesn't just live on your servers—it becomes the operating system for your entire enterprise.

In this episode of Agents of Dev, hosts Brad Shimmin and Mitch Ashley dismantle the notion that data management is still just about "dumb storage." The conversation kicks off with a look at the major branding shifts sweeping the industry—highlighted by Pure Storage’s evolution into Ever Pure—signaling a market-wide pivot toward AI-integrated ecosystems.

Brad and Mitch tackle the friction between modern AI demands and the weight of legacy systems, offering a counterintuitive take: not every piece of old code needs a rewrite. They explore the rise of "tuning engines" and the shift toward "3D policy," where observability and governance are no longer just checkboxes but the central operating system of the modern enterprise.

From the role of cultural nostalgia in tech to the deepening complexity of vendor partnerships, this episode is a masterclass in navigating the intent-driven future of the data stack.
