How AI Agents Are Changing Engineering | Cursor, Temporal, Tailscale, Legora & Namespace.so
Episode 225
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026

This episode is presented by Namespace.so, building high-performance cloud infrastructure for modern software development and AI-powered engineering. Engineering leaders from Cursor, Temporal, Tailscale, Legora, and Namespace discuss how AI agents are rapidly reshaping software development. From generating hundreds of PRs and debugging complex systems to running long-lived agents in the cloud, the conversation explores what’s changing—and what isn’t—as AI becomes part of everyday engineering. The group dives into reliability, security, context, observability, and managing fleets of agents, while examining why systems thinking and human judgment may matter more than ever as writing code itself gets easier.
