Your keyboard is the biggest bottleneck in your engineering workflow. This week, Andrew sits down with Wispr co-founder and CTO Sahaj Garg to discuss why traditional voice dictation failed us, and how his team is rebuilding trust by using contextual models to capture a developer's raw intent rather than treating speech models as "dumb" tools that just produce literal transcripts. Together, they explore the engineering hurdles of translating a messy stream of consciousness into perfectly formatted, zero-edit artifacts that can be instantly understood by both AI coding agents and human coworkers. Finally, Sahaj shares his framework for experimenting with new tools and why surviving this era of software development requires completely reinventing yourself and your organization every three months.
