The Pragmatic Engineer¶
Newsletter + podcast by Gergely Orosz covering the software-engineering industry from a practitioner angle. Heavy rotation of deep-dive interviews with maintainers, founders, and staff+ engineers; consistently well-prepared hosting.
Why it's in the wiki¶
- Hosts long-form episodes with the 2026 agentic-engineering cohort — Hashimoto, Steinberger, Zechner/Ronacher — that surface framings the conference-talk circuit doesn't.
- Orosz asks the "how does this actually feel" question repeatedly, which is what draws out the slow-the-f-down, non-engineers writing code, prompt-request threads this wiki tracks.
Ingested episodes¶
- Building Pi, and what makes self-modifying software so fascinating (2026-04-29) — mario-zechner & armin-ronacher. See query.
