The Story of Software · 2026-02-19 · 31 min
Wesley Yu is the Head of Engineering at MetaLab , a product agency working with venture-backed startups at the intersection of design and technology. His route into engineering was non-traditional, starting in media studies and radio production before moving into content marketing at a tech startup in the early 2010s. That shift put him close to the ambition and pace of the Silicon Valley startup world, and eventually led him into a coding bootcamp, learning Ruby on Rails and finding a “maker” mindset through software. He has since spent over a decade building web and mobile products and leading engineering teams. In this episode, we look at how each major software wave changes user expectations without fully replacing what came before. Wesley frames AI interfaces as arriving into a landscape shaped by mobile responsiveness, sensor permissions, and real time collaborative productivity tools.
