As AI moves deeper into software development, keeping up with rapid updates can feel like chasing a moving target.

In this episode of Agents of Dev, hosts Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin break down the biggest shifts transforming the developer ecosystem. Brad explores AWS's new native vector support for DynamoDB and explains why placing vectors inside operational databases slashes latency and infrastructure costs.

Mitch shares top takeaways from Black Hat, focusing on "Shift Zero"—the practice of governing developer intent at the point of origin rather than catching errors downstream. Finally, the duo discusses prompt fatigue, non-deterministic pipelines, and how tools like Tencent's DB Agent Memory might help systems clean up their own technical debt.
