This summer at McGill Delve, we’re going to the movies! Management experts from McGill University will join me to analyze popular films and share the lessons that lie within them. On the marquee today: The Devil Wears Prada (2006).

Are brutal management practices necessary in high-performance environments? Is it worth staying in a difficult environment for the sake of your career? What does a movie about fashion teach us about “serious” and “unserious” work?

Joining us to discuss the film is Sabine Dhir, assistant professor in strategy and organization at McGill University. She’s also the director of MDIIM – the donor-funded Institute that makes Delve possible.

Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.

This summer at McGill Delve, we’re going to the movies! Management experts from McGill University will join me to analyze popular films and share the lessons that lie within them. On the marquee today: The Big Short (2015).

The film depicts the lead-up to the financial crisis of 2008. It follows three protagonists as they bet against the housing market to make a profit. How did they see the collapse coming, while others did not? Could the collapse have been avoided with different incentive structures? And in a story about profit and risky investments, are there any true heroes?

Joining us to discuss the film is Levi Olando, a former fraud investigator and a current PhD student at McGill University. Eric Dicaire, Delve's managing editor, hosts this episode.

Vibe coding, the process of using AI models to write code for you, first emerged in 2025. It has since sparked fierce discussion about the future of software development. Are software engineers now redundant? Can CEOs now vibe code their way to new markets, without an official product development team? Will the next big app come from someone who has never written their own line of code?

Lakshya Agarwal is a forward-deployment engineer at an AI company called Tavily. He’s also an experienced vibe coder. He believes in the power of vibe coding, but not without vigorous human oversight and accountability. That’s why he advocates for agentic engineering, the practice of safely using vibe coding in development pipelines. In today’s interview, he tells us what that could look like in your organization.

Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.
