2025 Year-End Reflection for Developers: AI Hype, Layoffs, and What’s Next

Welcome back to Building Better Developers! In this special New Year’s Eve-Eve episode, we’re recording in the same room and doing a Year-End Reflection for Developers. We look back at what we’re ready to leave behind in 2025—especially the AI hype cycle—and talk honestly about big companies using “AI” as a cover story for layoffs. We also hear quick perspectives from our in-room studio audience on Agile lessons, the AI buzzword problem, and why we’d all benefit from less fear and more clarity heading into 2026. As you head into the new year, take a breath, reset, and keep building—smarter and kinder.
