Ever wondered what senior engineers actually talk about behind closed doors?

In this episode of Free Form AI, Michael and Ben open up the conversations developers usually only hear behind closed doors. We're talking how real engineering teams review code, manage dependencies, keep tests reliable and prevent their codebases from turning into chaos.

Live and in real time, they break down the habits and workflows that make software durable: using reusable components to avoid reinvention, building integration tests that catch silent failures, choosing versioning strategies that won’t break downstream users, and writing documentation that actually accelerates collaboration.

Tune into episode 25 for a wide-ranging conversation about:
• What code reviews really accomplish
• Why reusable components reduce long-term friction
• How dependency management goes wrong (and how to keep it stable)
• Why integration tests are the backbone of reliable software
• How versioning choices shape releases
• The role of clear documentation in team velocity
• Why internal utilities need user-centric design
• How clean codebases speed up onboarding and feedback

If your work touches code, this episode gives you the kind of insight you’d normally only get sitting next to seasoned engineers at the office.
