The State of Tech in 2026: What Changed And What Didn't

The State of Tech in 2026: What Changed And What Didn't

In this episode of "How Many CTOs Does It Take?" podcast, hosts Scott Porad and Brad Hefta-Gaub discuss a Pragmatic Engineer talk on the state of the tech industry in 2026, focusing on what changed and what hasn't. They argue this is a "golden age" of building software due to AI, while acknowledging current "creative destruction" that may ultimately make the industry leaner. Key changes include agentic software factories where people increasingly don't read code, and a shift toward open-weight models for cost and data-sovereignty reasons, including local/on-prem inference. They note core software fundamentals (system design, resilience, security, validation) and organizational friction (alignment, clear requirements) remain unchanged. They also explore remote work's evolution, speculate about smaller squads and team structures, and end by deferring "what broke" and "what's next" to a future episode.
