Annie Vella joins Dave Pengelley, Matt Slayga and Richard Webbe to examine how AI-assisted development changes cognitive load, flow state and accountability. The panel explores supervisory engineering, meaningful productivity measures and the systems thinking required for enterprise AI.
The repeatable patterns we've seen actually move a P&L — not the demos that collapse in week two.
The stack choices, the integration tax, and the glue code nobody talks about in the launch video.
Unit costs, break-even timelines, the hidden human cost. Numbers first, narrative second.

Tony Kirkham joins Dave Pengelley, Richard Webbe and Matt Slager to examine AI-driven cybersecurity, zero trust, observability, identity controls and the enduring value of network fundamentals.
Dave Pengelley, Richard Webbe and Matt examine whether AI will reshape monolithic software, and why a business-first approach matters when rebuilding systems. They explore agent harnesses, guardrails, progressive disclosure, technical debt and validation practices for production work.
Dave, Richard, and Matt unpack Substack AI scanning, the cut-and-paste economy, Hermes book packaging, algorithm gaming, go-to-market engineering with free MCP tools, and why wanting an AI receptionist is the wrong first question if your process cannot support it.
Angus Lee Forbes joins the panel on FWIP (fwip.app): on-device private file tools and a one-off fee after a sketchy e-sign subscription trap. The crew also covers token burn, models that game evals, harness wars versus base models, ownership when agents multiply, and sovereign dependency risk.
Kate Fabian (Adoptech) joins the panel from Far North Queensland on process-first AI for trades and regional SMEs. The hour covers strategy versus theatre sub-agents and token budgets CRM as process design and sovereign AI questions before the next tool purchase.
