Our CEO just dropped some serious AI development insights on Estonia's biggest dev podcast

Stenver Jerkku sat down with Algorütm this week to talk shop about how we actually use AI day-to-day at Soldera. Not the theoretical stuff you hear everywhere, but real tactics that work.

The episode aired September 25th in Estonian ("Praktilisi võtteid AI rakendamisest arenduses") and honestly? It's packed with concrete examples. Stenver walks through our journey from those early "you have no fingers, so write the code" prompts to our current spec-driven workflows that keep both humans and agents on track.

Worth your time?

Real prompts we use in production, tools that make code reviews faster, and practical talk about GitHub MCP and agent orchestration. Plus some solid insights on when parallelism actually pays off versus when it just creates chaos.

You can catch it on YouTube, Spotify, Overcast, or the Algorütm episode page.

Worth sharing with your Estonian-speaking dev friends. And if you're a podcast buff who doesn't speak Estonian and would prefer some English content from us, check out Soldera Markets.

Additional income is already waiting

Guarantees of Origin can only be traded for the first 12 months after the moment of production, so it does not make sense to wait long.
