This is the original story of how Uber was built ... this is a fascinating story. You don't want to miss this. Donn talks to Jason Roberts. Jason was chosen to be Uber's CTO when the company was in its infancy (but didn't accept the offer). Jason shares the story of developing the code that eventually ran Uber from a couple of cars to a highly distributed system with an impressive amount of rides.

Tired of the endless hype cycle around artificial intelligence in software development? Fragmented-AI Developer Podcast cuts through the noise for engineers who are focused on building and shipping reliable systems. Hosts Kaushik Gopal and Iury Souza, both working software engineers, steer conversations toward the practical, often unglamorous, integration of AI tools into real development workflows. In each episode, you’ll hear detailed discussions on effective prompting strategies that go beyond basic examples, methods for incorporating AI into rigorous code review and testing processes, and debugging the often-unpredictable output of these models. This podcast is grounded in the reality of building production-grade software, deliberately avoiding superficial success stories in favor of sustainable tactics. The focus remains on how AI-assisted development can genuinely augment an engineer’s daily work-from refining a personal workflow to architecting more robust systems. If you’re looking for actionable insights that translate directly to your codebase, this is the podcast for you.
