Your SDLC needs a productivity context engine

Episode notes

What if the secret to fixing your overwhelmed SDLC is not a better AI coding model, but a smarter productivity context engine? This week on Dev Interrupted, LinearB founders Ori Keren and Dan Lines join the show to discuss the messy middle of AI adoption and the painful transition from the traditional SDLC to the Agentic Development Life Cycle. They unpack why the era of cheap AI experimentation is over, how rising token costs are forcing engineering leaders to prioritize strict business ROI, and how autonomous tools are fundamentally changing the daily workflow of developers. Register here: for the June 25th workshop, Life Beyond Tokenmaxxing, to learn how to measure real AI impact and ROI across the SDLC. Follow the show:
