Vibe Coding at Heroku with Vish Abrams 52:51

52:51

AI tools are transforming how developers write code, and although it’s difficult to pinpoint how much code is now AI-generated code, estimates suggest it’s between 20% and 40%, and this figure is poised to grow in the coming years. This evolution has given rise to a new coding paradigm in which developers act as directors, guiding and refining AI-generated solutions rather than manually writing every line of code. This approach was recently termed “vibe coding” by Andrej Karpathy, and it shifts the programmer’s role from detailed coding to overseeing and enhancing AI-produced code. It emphasizes collaborative interaction with AI, blending human creativity with machine efficiency to solve complex problems. Vish Abrams is the Chief Architect at Heroku and previously worked at Oracle and NASA, among other organizations. In this episode, Vish joins the show with Kevin Ball for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of AI-based tools, whether there are limits to vibe coding, AI tools for individuals vs. AI tools for teams, the Model Context Protocol, Heroku’s managed inference service, and much more.

Contextual memory in AI is a major challenge because current models struggle to retain and recall relevant information over time. While humans can build long-term semantic relationships, AI systems often rely on fixed context windows, leading to loss of important past interactions. Zep is a startup that’s developing a memory layer for AI agents using temporal Knowledge Graphs, enabling agents to retain long-term contextual information. It was founded in 2023 and was part of the Y Combinator batch of Winter 2024. Daniel Chalef is the Founder of Zep. He joins the show with Kevin Ball to talk about the challenge of contextual memory in AI, temporal knowledge graphs, ambient AI agents, and more. Full Disclosure: This episode is sponsored by Zep.

A distributed system is a network of independent services that work together to achieve a common goal. Unlike a monolithic system, a distributed system has no central point of control, meaning it must handle challenges like data consistency, network latency, and system failures. Debugging distributed systems is conventionally considered challenging because modern architectures consist of numerous microservices communicating across networks, making failures difficult to isolate. The challenges and maintenance burdens can magnify as systems grow in size and complexity. Julia Blase is a Product Manager at Chronosphere where she works on features to help developers troubleshoot distributed systems more efficiently, including Differential Diagnosis, or DDx. DDx provides tooling to troubleshoot distributed systems, and emphasizes automation and developer experience.

Deno is a free and open source JavaScript runtime built on Google’s V8 engine, Rust, and Tokio. It's designed to offer a more secure and standardized alternative to Node.js, with native TypeScript support. Deno 2.0 just released and it's a significant update, focusing on improved compatibility with Node.js and addressing developer feedback. Some of the key features are backwards compatibility with Node.js and npm, native support for package.json and node_modules, and a stabilized standard library. Luca Casonato is a Software Engineer for Deno and he spoke about the project on Software Engineering Daily in 2023. We’re excited to have Luca join the show again to talk about the many changes introduced in Deno 2.0.
