AI Native Dev

Developers are trying to work out where things land after the tectonic shifts of AI. Now, what does it really mean to be an AI Native Dev? We’re not just coding faster, we’re changing how we build, think, and collaborate with machines. In a recent post, Dion Almaer dives into this topic and explains: - Why scaling output now means more bots, not more people - How tools like Augment Code, Repo Prompt, and many others, reshape your dev workflow - Why Richard Sutton & David Silver’s “Era of Experience” calls for AI that learns by 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 This isn’t about replacing developers. It’s about developers scaling themselves: context, time, and thought included. Full read in comments 👇

You wouldn’t merge to main without tests, so why ship LLM features without observability? Gal Kleinman, co-founder of Traceloop, just broke down what it takes to see inside your prompts: • 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝: Treat evals as the spec for your LLM flow; they’re the only way to know if “works on my machine” is actually working for users. • 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐋𝐋𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲: One line of code wraps OpenTelemetry around OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, vector DBs, the lot—so you trace tokens, cost, and quality from dev to prod. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘥, 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳… 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵.” — 𝘎𝘢𝘭 𝘒𝘭𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘮𝘢𝘯 Read the blog, link in the comments #AINativeDev #LLMObservability #DevTools #OpenTelemetry

🚨 Speaker lineup just announced for 𝐀𝐈 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐂𝐨𝐧 2025 - 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and it’s stacked! This isn’t just about where AI is going, it’s about how developers are using it right now. To ship faster, refactor smarter, and rethink what it means to engineer in the agent era. 🔥 First round of speakers — more coming soon! Some sessions you won’t want to miss: - Mathias Biilmann Christensen (Netlify) — Designing for agents, not just humans - Nimrod Kor & Nimrod Hauser (Baz) — Building memory models for your codebase - Nick Taylor (Pomerium) — Create your own GitHub Copilot extension - Kyle Forster (RunWhen) — AI-powered SREs and what’s next for ops If you’ve been burned by AI hype and generic “copilot” demos, this one’s for you. No vendors. No fluff. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭). 🎯 Built for developers using AI to code, not just those building AI 🗓️ 𝐌𝐚𝐲 13 💻 100% virtual 🔗 Link in the comments #AINativeDev #DeveloperTools #AIForDevelopers #AgenticWorkflows #Copilot #SRE #DevCon #AIEngineering

When benchmarks don’t reflect reality, model names blur together, and prompt engineering feels more like guesswork than science, you’re not alone. Baptiste Fernandez unpacks the 4 frustrations within the state of AI-native development in a way that speaks directly to the builder’s experience. Some of what you’ll find inside: - Why GPT-4.1’s SWE-bench wins don’t always mean better dev workflows - The model naming mess (4.1 vs 4o vs Turbo—what even?) - The rising need for standardisation, and what DSPy & prompt routers might fix - Why abstraction layers, not better prompts, are the future This piece isn’t just commentary, it’s a developer’s map through the current AI terrain. If you’re navigating multi-model stacks or just trying to get consistent output in your IDE, this one’s for you. 🧠 Read the blog, link in the comments! #AINative #DevTools #PromptEngineering #OpenAI #DeveloperExperience #LLM

Some of the most-used Microsoft extensions are quietly breaking on forked IDEs. Cursor, Windsurf, and others are feeling it. No official bans. No loud policy changes. Just subtle friction… and devs are noticing. This isn’t just marketplace politics,  it’s about: - Why VSCode extensions hit a wall - How forks broke past those limits - Microsoft’s quiet response (and why it matters for your stack) 🧠 If you care about AI tooling, extension APIs, or the future of your dev environment, this one’s worth a read. 👇 Full post written by Dion Almaer - link in the comments #AINativeDev #Cursor #Windsurf #VSCode #copilot

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜-𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐯. 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬. 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬. In todays episode of the AI Native Dev podcast, Guy Podjarny (Tessl) sits down with Tom Hulme (GV (Google Ventures)) to unpack what AI-native software development really looks like and where it’s heading. 🎧 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫: – Why “specs over code” could reshape how we build – What 170+ AI dev tools reveal about the current ecosystem – Where most tools fall short and why loyalty is low – What needs to change for autonomy to be real – How the role of the developer is already evolving If you’re building, experimenting, or just trying to stay ahead, this one’s worth your time. 📍Recorded live at GV (Google Ventures)’s GenAI Meetup in London. #AINativeDev #LLMs #DeveloperTools #GenAI #SpecCentric #SoftwareEngineering #Tessl #GVteam #DevWorkflows
