Dev Interrupted

A newsletter covering the intersection of AI agents and software engineering, featuring discussions on AI compute as compensation, managing agentic development environments, Meta's acquisition of an AI agent social network, AWS outages tied to AI coding tools, and the future of open source maintainership. Key themes include the need for proper guardrails and permission structures when deploying AI agents, the importance of measuring actual delivery outcomes from AI tools, and avoiding the trap of running agents for their own sake rather than to reduce toil.
