Andrew Zigler is a GTM Engineer at LinearB and the host of Dev Interrupted, a twice-weekly podcast and newsletter where 40k+ builders decode the transition to AI-native development and agentic orchestration. A classicist by training with a degree from The University of Texas at Austin, Andrew spent his early career teaching in Japan before channeling his interdisciplinary instincts into the tech world. His polymath background informs everything he builds, from automated workflows to the stories he tells about the seismic shifts reshaping software creation.
