If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is drawing to a close... but, ICYMI, today's episode highlights the best bits of the hot hot hot conversations that we had on my podcast in August:

1. In one of the technically richest conversations ever on the show, MongoDB's Field CTO of A.I., Pete Johnson, details the two common traits every company seeing ROI on A.I. investment have.

2. Gurobi Optimization's manager of decision-intelligence strategy Jerry Yurchisin returns to the show to explain where the division of labour between agents and mathematical solvers ought to fall.

3. Priyanka "The Cloud Girl" Vergadia (bestselling author, ex-Google, ex-Microsoft) walks us through how she structures Claude skills so that her output stops being slop.

4. dbt Labs founder and CEO Tristan Handy explains why the semantic layer matters more, not less, now that analytics agents are the ones asking the questions.
