The Ai Dev Craft Show

Mike Hartington is usually one of the people asking the questions on The Ai Dev Craft Show. This time, we put him in the hot seat.

Mike joins the team to talk about how AI is changing software development—from better context and agent workflows to smarter IDEs, stronger guardrails, and more capable developer tools. The conversation digs into developer trust, code review, open standards, when agents are ready to take on more responsibility, and why experienced engineers still matter as AI becomes part of everyday development.

Plus, a few hot takes on TypeScript, artisanal code, and whether you should scold your AI.

Angie Jones joins The Ai Dev Craft Show to talk about what it really takes to move AI from experimentation into everyday engineering work. She shares lessons from helping thousands of developers adopt AI, why tools alone aren’t enough, and how teams can use agents, guardrails, open standards, and better context to build AI systems they can actually trust.

The conversation also dives into MCP, WebMCP, agentic commerce, AI-powered workflows, and why developers need to think far beyond coding assistants as agents become a bigger part of how we work and interact with the web.

You can also hear Angie live at Ai Dev Craft, October 27–28 in Las Vegas, where she’ll be joining other leaders shaping the future of AI development.

In this episode of The Ai Dev Craft Show, Manfred Steyer joins Jay Bell and Mike Hartington to explore the next evolution of AI-powered applications: interfaces that do more than return walls of text. They dig into generative and agentic UI, A2UI, AG-UI, MCP Apps, CopilotKit, and how developers can build AI experiences that dynamically generate useful, interactive interfaces while still maintaining control, consistency, and guardrails. Manfred also demonstrates real-world examples and discusses why emerging standards and protocols could be key to building AI applications that can evolve without constant rewrites.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Ai Dev Craft Show! Meet the hosts and join a lively conversation about what it means to be a software developer in the age of AI. From AI-generated code and agent workflows to learning new technologies, maintaining good engineering practices, and figuring out what we can—and can’t—trust AI to do, the team digs into the opportunities, challenges, and occasional chaos developers are facing right now.

The goal of the show is simple: bring developers together to share real experiences, learn from each other, and explore how we keep the craft in software development as AI changes the way we build.

Welcome to Ai Dev Craft. Things are about to get interesting.

In this series finale of the Angular Plus Show, Lara and Jay sit down with Joe Eames to reflect on the end of ng-conf, its lasting impact on the Angular community, and the friendships, careers, and opportunities it helped create. Joe also shares what’s next with Ai Dev Craft, a new conference focused on the evolving craft of software development in the age of AI, coding agents, and modern developer workflows.

Join us at Ai Dev Craft this October for the most up-to-date conversations on AI-assisted development, coding agents, modern workflows, and the evolving craft of building great software. You’ll learn from developers who are experimenting, building, breaking, fixing, and figuring out what it really means to create excellent software in the AI era.Come for the practical sessions. Stay for the community, hallway conversations, and the chance to be part of what comes next.
