Ep 2 - Aditya Oberai from Appwrite

Episode 2 — Aditya Oberai (Developer Relations Lead, Appwrite)What does it take to lower the bar so far that anyone with an idea can ship, and still trust what they built?Aditya Oberai's whole job is access. The SDKs, the docs, the backend primitives that let someone who's never touched auth or a database ship a real app. In this episode we get into the craft of that: being a technologist first, the line between AI-assisted building and vibe coding, and what he sees in a room full of people with less experience than him that he never gets online.Then we turn to agents. Aditya's recent talk makes an uncomfortable case. Hand an agent the same tools, the same prompt, the same everything, and it still makes different calls run to run. None of the things moving that decision are the tools themselves. I take that as the crack under my own work. My days go into coordination, pushing the power to build outward instead of letting it pool in a few labs. But if we can't even pin down what an agent will do from one model update to the next, what does it mean to hand these things real leverage?A conversation about who gets to build, what breaks when they do, and whether we can trust agents with any of it.
