How Orchestrated Sub-Agents Will Be Used

In this episode of PodRocket, Jack and Paige dive into the latest GitHub Octoverse report, covering trends like shipping faster with AI, the dominance of TypeScript as the top language, the rise of AI-generated pull requests, and the concerning drop in code review comments. They unpack the growing role of Copilot, the tension between OSS contributions and burnout, and the surge in AI infrastructure projects like Ollama. The discussion also touches on open source governance, the docs gap, prompt injection risks, and whether AI-powered browsers can succeed beyond the dev crowd.
