To open the show Ben and Andrew dissect the latest headlines, from DeepSeek's challenge to ChatGPT to the growing importance of AI cybersecurity. They explain why everyone suddenly searched 'Jevons Paradox' last week and discuss strategic AI investments from IBM and financial giant Goldman Sachs. These investments underscore the growing importance of strong engineering leadership in the age of AI.

Then Luca Rossi of Refactoring joins the show to discuss his latest research. Drawing from a comprehensive survey of engineering professionals, Luca breaks down the key traits and practices of successful engineering teams, revealing surprising correlations between team happiness, shipping frequency, and recognition by non-technical leadership.
