The AI Native Dev - from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow

2025 changed what it means to be a developer.And 2026 is about to change even more.This Tessl episode brings a year-end reflection on how agents reshaped software development and what developers need to unlearn next, featuring Reuven Cohen, Founder of the Agentic Foundation, Maor Shlomo, Founder of Base44, and Maksim Shaposhnikov, Technical Member at Tessl.On the docket:• Reuven Cohen on why most agent systems fail and what agentic engineering demands• Maor Shlomo on where vibe coding works, where it breaks, and how guardrails protect long-term software• Maksim Shaposhnikov on developer autonomy, IDE vs terminal agents, and designing for delegationThis episode looks ahead to 2026 and examines the systems developers will be responsible for next.Connect with us here: 1.

Vibe coding is only good at creating a sense of progress for devs.In this episode of AI Native Dev, Cian Clarke, head of AI at Nearform, joins Simon Maple to talk about BMAD, their spec-driven approach that prioritizes clarity before code over prompt first development.They also get into:• speed upfront vs. maintainability over time• why senior engineers gain leverage as junior pathways narrow• the cultural shift needed to scale AI-generated software beyond solo buildersAI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.

Before you add context, understand the context that’s already there.In this episode, Yaniv Aknin, founding engineer at Tessl, explains the built in instructions that precede every user prompt, and why acknowledging that hidden layer is critical.On the docket:• why tool design matters more than raw reasoning ability• how Codex does more with fewer tools • how subagents let Claude stay flexible under context pressure• why generalist models may adapt better to unfamiliar toolsAI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.

We’re holding probabilistic systems to deterministic standards.In this episode of AI Native Dev, Simon Maple talks with Maria Gorinova, Member of Technical Staff at Tessl, about the mismatch between how developers expect software to behave, and how agents actually do.• how structured context improves abstraction use • why agent reliability can only be demonstrated through measurement • how Tessl’s tiles improve reliability without bloating contextAI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.

Your codebase already has AI contributors. If they don’t understand it, that’s on you.In this segment from AI Native DevCon, Sean Roberts, VP of Applied AI at Netlify, explains why agent experience is, in fact, an extension of developer experience.He also shares:why hallucinations are what inference looks like when context is missing.why knowledge graphs matter for large codebases.using feedback loops to help agents learn from real deployments.the downside of standardising on a single agentAI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI.
