Angie Jones spent years as the "geek whisperer" — translating technical possibility into human progress. Then she led one of the most ambitious AI adoption programs in the industry, and the rug got pulled out. Now at the Agentic AI Foundation, she's working to make sure the standards powering the next era of software are built in the open, by everyone. Kent and Angie dig into the impossible bargain AI has handed engineers, what it really means to hire junior developers right now, and what scares her most about where we're all headed.
This season of Still Burning is sponsored by WorkOS and Augment Code.

Hi Kent. Great interviews!
I use Proton VPN for my usual web browsing. I was able to watch episodes 1 through 3 without any problems.
It seems that YouTube has changed. When I attempted to view Episode 4, I was fobbed off with a "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" message and a broken sign-in link. When I switched off the VPN, it worked as before.
This feels a bit shonky, given that I'm paying for these videos through a Tidy First subscription. It could be time to look for an alternative video host whose business model relies less on surveillance.
For some reason, this episode is not showing up in Pocket Casts like the other three. It shows up in Apple Podcasts though, so not sure why Pocket Casts isn’t picking it up.
