Quinn Slack, co-founder and CEO of Sourcegraph, joins Kyle to explore how AI is transforming software development and why the “AI coding agent” is becoming the center of gravity in the modern engineering stack. Quinn walks through Sourcegraph’s new tools—Cody and AMP—and explains how model-product fit, not feature checklists, is what will define winners in this fast-moving market.

They discuss why Sourcegraph made counterintuitive bets like hiding model selection and emphasizing multi-tenant design, how customer trust enables bold product choices, and why building in sync with new model capabilities is more important than chasing traditional differentiation.

Reddit has always been a cultural force online — but today, it's also something else: a core piece of the internet’s AI infrastructure.

In this episode, Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman joins Eric to talk about the company’s first year as a public company, why Reddit still feels like it’s just getting started, and how it’s navigating a new era where AI-generated content is flooding the internet. They discuss Reddit’s evolution from a link aggregator to a community engine, the irony of becoming an LLM training backbone, and why Huffman thinks Reddit can preserve its human core even as it grows.
