    Why Vibe Coding Enhances Productivity - And Why Naga Santosh Wrote A Whole Book About It.
    Feb 11 2026
    🚀 In this episode of Beginner’s Guide to AI, Dietmar Fischer speaks with Naga Santhosh Reddy Vootukuri (aka Sunny), a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft working on Azure SQL deployment infrastructure. Sunny shares his personal journey into AI, from early ChatGPT experiments in late 2022 to using AI tools in production workflows, and what actually changed his day to day work.💡 You’ll hear how he thinks about GitHub Copilot inside Visual Studio, where it saves time, and where engineers still need to slow down and verify outputs. The episode also goes beyond coding into leadership and adoption: how managers can help teams use AI responsibly, and why showing outcomes and numbers matters more than hype. Sunny also connects the dots to the broader industry shift toward AI agents and structured tooling like GitHub Models and Docker’s evolving AI ecosystem.✅ Key takeaways you can use immediatelyPractical AI adoption for engineers and managersGitHub Copilot productivity in real workflows, not demosWhy AI code can look correct and still be wrong, and how to respondThe rise of AI agents and what it means for everyday teamsHow GitHub Models lowers friction for evaluating models and promptsWhy Docker is leaning into agent workflows and developer productivity📧💌📧Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠beginnersguide.nl⁠⁠⁠⁠📧💌📧About Dietmar Fischer: Dietmar is a podcaster and AI marketer from Berlin.

    AI Leadership for the Agent Era: Building Hybrid Organizations with Dominic von Proeck


    AI is entering its operational phase. In this episode, Dominic von Proeck, Co-Founder of Leaders of AI, breaks down what AI transformation looks like when you stop collecting prompts and start building agent-powered teams.


    We talk about why owner-led companies and the German Mittelstand can move faster than many expect, and why the most important capability is not technical wizardry but leadership: clear delegation, strong feedback loops, and critical thinking about every AI output.


    Dominic shares how their organization runs AI assistants with real operational discipline, including onboarding, documentation, and even personality profiles, plus the emerging pattern of AI managers that lead other agents.


    If you want practical guidance on AI agents in business, hybrid organizations, and adoption that sticks, this conversation delivers an unusually concrete operating model.

  • Who Owns The Future?

    Who Owns The Future?
    Feb 7 2026
    ✨ Unlock a Future Where AI Inspires Leadership—not Replaces ItIn this episode, Dietmar Fischer speaks with Ja-Naé Duane and Steven Fisher, co-authors of the book SuperShifts, about what leadership really looks like in the age of artificial intelligence. Instead of framing AI as just another technology trend, the conversation explores AI leadership as a systemic and human challenge. Drawing on their work with global organizations and executives during and after the pandemic, Ja-Naé and Steven explain why the biggest shifts are not driven by tools, but by how leaders rethink decision-making, responsibility, and organizational design.The episode traces the origins of SuperShifts back to Covid, when existing systems suddenly stopped working. Ja-Naé Duane shares insights from working with CEOs across Europe who were already using machine learning, but struggled to use AI to meaningfully support leadership decisions. Together, the guests unpack why AI-first leadership requires more than efficiency gains. It demands clear governance, ethical accountability, and a shared understanding of who owns outcomes when humans and machines collaborate.A central theme of the conversation is human-AI collaboration and why leaders must move beyond optimizing outdated structures. Steven Fisher introduces a systems-thinking lens, arguing that organizations need new frameworks rather than incremental improvements. The discussion highlights how AI changes leadership roles, why trust and transparency matter more than ever, and how possibility itself becomes a strategic asset in the age of intelligence.Key takeaways include practical insights into AI leadership, the importance of systems thinking, and why SuperShifts offers a roadmap for leading through uncertainty. This episode is for anyone who wants to understand how leadership must evolve as AI becomes embedded in decision-making, work, and organizational culture.📧💌📧Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!📧💌📧➡️ Key HighlightsUnderstanding AI-First Leadership through the lens of SuperShiftsThe pandemic's role in inspiring new leadership frameworks and agile mindsetsBlending human values with AI-powered decision-makingWhy systems thinking, foresight, and possibility are essential tools for modern leaders🧾 Quotes from the Episode- “The most successful leader won’t be the one who predicts the future—but the one who shapes it.”- “In the Age of Intelligence, possibility itself becomes the most valuable capital.”- “Our role as leaders is to bring humanity into the algorithm, not replace it.”👓 Chapters (experimental)00:00 Introduction – What is SuperShifts?05:12 From Pandemic to Paradigm Shift: How SuperShifts Was Born12:45 AI-First Leadership: Reimagining How We Lead20:30 Human-AI Collaboration: Balancing Ethics and Innovation28:10 Systems Thinking and SuperShifts Framework35:00 Applied Strategies: Leading in the Age of Intelligence🔗 Where to Find Ja-Naé Duane and Steven FisherDr. Ja-Naé Duane: Ja-Nae.IOSteven Fisher — StevenFisher.IOAnd here you'll find:SuperShifts: Transforming How We Live, Learn, and Work in the Age of IntelligenceMusic credit: "Modern Situations" by Unicorn Heads Hosted on Acast.
