What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The Agentic Review is the rare podcast that gets ahead of where engineering is actually headed. Itamar has a habit of naming the next shift in the room before it's become a talking point anywhere else ~ he did it for AI code review, he’s done it again for code quality, and I know he’s already thinking 3 steps ahead on where software development will go next. Case in point: the episode with Scott Hanselman (Microsoft). While most of the conversation is about AI's effect on individual developers, Itamar pivots to something almost nobody was discussing yet, how review data should roll up to engineering leaders who never touch the PR queue themselves: "If there's some best practice in one team, an AI tool could surface that rule to another team, which otherwise nobody would actually do." It's a small line, but it's exactly the kind of shift everyone is now talking about. If Itamar's talking about it, it's about to matter. Conversations that are actually thinking ahead instead of reacting, this is the podcast to subscribe to.
