From Art to Science: Wild Moose and the Future of AI-Powered Debugging
About this episode
The episode features the founding team of Wild Moose discussing their innovative approach to AI-powered production debugging.
In this episode, we sit down with the full founding team of Wild Moose — CEO Yasmin Dunsky, CTO Roei, and VP R&D Tom Tytunovich — to explore how they’re transforming production debugging from an art into a science using AI. The trio shares their unconventional founding story — from meeting across three different cities to living together for three months in a California Airbnb to stress-test both their idea and their relationship. They discuss how they identified production debugging as a massive unsolved problem before ChatGPT even launched, recognizing that while code generation is fundamentally a text problem, debugging is a search problem that demands a completely different approach. We dive deep into Wild Moose’s “microagents” architecture — fast, highly optimized AI agents that replicate the muscle memory of senior engineers to automatically investigate production incidents in under a minute. The team explains why accuracy trumps everything in their space (wrong answers are worse than no answers when you’re debugging at 3 AM), how they navigate the speed-cost-quality triangle, and why they built a test-driven approach to validate agents against past incidents. We also…
