We interrupt our regular programming for this extremely important message.

We stand with our black sisters and brothers against the evil that is racism. The recent events of police brutality and oppression against black people have been truly horrifying.

Please take the time to listen to the audio snippet on the #BlackLivesMatter movement from today's episode. It is a TedX talk by the far more eloquent Kennedy Cook who's voice and words are more powerful than ours.

We've never been very vocal about political issues at Fragmented. But that doesn't mean we don't care about these issues. On the contrary! We do our best to have our actions speak louder than our words and let others with first hand experience speak out. Then importantly we aim to listen.

But these aren't regular times are they? The horrifying brutality we're seeing against people of color is nauseating. The Covid-19 outbreak has made action particularly difficult so for today we will start with these words.

How to help:


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.
