AI coding budgets are getting torched, and 2026 is the year the bill finally came due. In this episode, we dig into how token consumption became a productivity metric (and why that backfired), and what the industry is doing about it now that the free-for-all is ending.
We will cover:
Why token usage became a proxy for developer productivity — and how Goodhart's Law caught up with it
The provider-side shifts (usage windows, model restrictions, pricing model changes) that reshaped agentic coding through early 2026
What's really driving your AI bill: subscriptions vs. API, caching mechanics, and model/thinking-effort tradeoffs
Practical tokenmining strategies — from scripting deterministic steps to tuning your harness and mixing models
Where the industry goes next as cost-conscious AI development becomes the norm

Using Open Telemetry to monitor what your coding agent is doing
Are you flying blind with your AI coding agent?
In this episode, we detail what actually happens inside tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code beyond the prompt you type.
We cover:
How LLMs use context windows (and why they "forget")
The sharp quality drop that hits at ~40% context usage
How to use OpenTelemetry to observe token usage, traces, and system prompts in real time

The Challenges of Evolving Your Service: API Versioning
Once you ship a public API, you've made a promise.
Keeping it while still moving forward turns out to be harder than most teams expect.
In this episode, we will cover:
What qualifies as a backward-compatible change, and what doesn't
Why does introducing a new API version cost more than just writing new code
The real reason clients delay upgrades, and what you can do about it
How to support multiple versions without duplicating your entire codebase
The adapter pattern is a practical way to isolate version changes at the edges
