coding agents

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of coding agents - the shows and 11 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

Coding agents are reshaping how developers work, but the landscape remains contested between efficiency gains and execution risks. Episodes examine the practical realities - from Dexter Horthy's take on how agents disrupt dev workflows, to insights from Anthropic's frontier AI research, to skepticism about whether AI-driven development is overhyped. These conversations move beyond the pitch to explore what actually breaks, what customers need, and whether the current wave of agent tools delivers real value or capitalizes on inflated expectations.
