DEV.co

Software and web development from the side that has to ship it and then live with it. Architecture decisions with a cost attached, scoping, technical debt, hiring and vendor selection, and the AI tooling question every engineering team is now answering whether they planned to or not. Each episode takes one decision — rewrite or refactor, framework choice, build versus buy, how to scope a fixed-bid project honestly — and works through the tradeoffs, including the ones that only show up in year two. Written for engineering leads, technical founders and the people who fund them. Five or six minutes, no hand-waving. Topics include rewrite versus refactor, build versus buy, scoping fixed-bid work honestly, technical debt you should keep, framework and platform choices, hiring and vendor selection, code review culture, and where AI tooling actually helps. Produced by DEV.co, web and software development. Full details, services and further reading at https://dev.co

    Why Your AI Is Slower Than a 1998 Modem — And How to Fix It

    Transformer models can be brilliantly accurate and still fail in production — because they're too slow. This episode breaks down why inference latency is such a hard problem and walks through the real engineering strategies teams use to fix it.
