Kodsnack in English

Fredrik talks to Barry O’Reilly about software architecture. Barry has spent a lot of time and energy connecting software architecture to actual code and development work, and finding good ways of actually training new generations of software architects. Architecture is a level above programming, it is a different skill, and it needs to be properly taught so that more people can think and make active decisions about it. Oh, and architecture happens at a group level. You can’t really do it alone. Barry’s quest led him to complexity science, a PhD to actually prove his ideas hold up, and two books. The idea that you have to understand what goes on in the code in order to do good architecture is more controversial than one might think. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Fredrik talks to Jon Sterling about user interfaces old and new. Jon has created Aquaui - a Mac user interface library which is a small love letter to the Aqua user interface style for Mac OS X. Based on that, we discuss understandable and consistent user interfaces, how there seems to be little evolution and improvement, wish for brave new ideas, and a lot more. Oh, and we also discuss living with old technology, like a seventh-generation Ipod. Plus liability laundering and the problems of building the whole house of out fire alarms.

Fredrik talks to Dejan Milicic about software development - understanding, methods, and stories. We start by talking about encapsulation of knowledge and the essential software in organizations. Almost every organization should - it can be argued - be developing software that solves their unique problems, and yet so many outsource so much of their knowledge encapsulation. Oh, and we can never completely encapsulate our knowledge in code either, so all the more reason to keep people who actually know what the code does and why around. Dejan tells us about his way to Ravendb and a developer relations role - and how you can craft your own job, stepping suitably outside of your comfort zone along the way. We also talk about shortening attention spans, daring to dig down a bit and find out about the context of things. Like the second sentence of some oft-repeated quote. Prohibit bad things, but help automate doing good things and avoid doing the bad things completely. Dejan shares some database backstories - why would someone want to build one more database? Specifically, what lead to the creation of Ravendb? And the very strong opinions which have been built into it. Avoiding falling into marketing-driven development. After that, we drift into talking about processes and how we work. Every organization is unique - which strongly speaks against adapting the “best practices” and methodologies of others. Or keeping things completely the same for too long. Innovation is also about doing what other people are not doing. Why is concurrency still hard? The free lunch has been over for twenty years! Functional programming and immutability offer ways forward, why aren’t these concepts spreading even more and faster? We get right back to understanding more context when Dejan discusses how few of us seem to have understood, just for example, the L in SOLID. Dive deeper, read more, and you will find new things and come up with new ideas. Finally, Dejan would like to see software development becoming just a little bit more mathematical. So that things can be established, verified and built on in a different way. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Ingrid af Sandeberg about AI and people’s perception of it. While it’s very powerful to be able to interact with models through natural language, that interface in itself hides a lot of what’s actually going on.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Laura Herman about creativity, creation, and AI. Among other things, we discuss: How the perspectives of different groups differ, and Laura talks about the many factors which inform how people feel about generative AI. Generative AI as curation. How and where in our work processes we want AI assistance. Dataset curation and specialized models, and how they can be important and interesting going forward. What happens if we have to be very picky about what we train models on? How are people working with sustainability for generative models? Laura’s own research into AI and creativity, and how other inventions have affected creativity and art. Finally, we discuss curation, and the possibilities of alternate curation platforms for finding things you like.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Kent Beck and Beth Andres-Beck about development practices, code reviews, and more. Unfortunately, sound quality is a lot worse than it should be. We apologize, and invite any sound processing wizards out there to get in touch if they have solid ways of improving it. Has there actually been a backlash - a move toward more rigid processes? And what can we do about that? The development process is a shadow cast by the power structure, and in big organizations, you need someone who’s job it is to read all the documents. Also: improving code reviews, and how breaking the build can land you in a room with exactly the right people.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to IT security expert David Jacoby about his way into IT security. What was it like to get interested in computer security early on, and to try start working with it before there really was an awareness of even the need for more security information? And when did the switch happen from annoying but harmless viruses and malware to the modern information stealing and blackmailing? Finally, a horror movie tip.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Corin Ism about the power of developers to change the world for the better. Much of what we do is building virtual worlds - virtual nations if you will - and creating and enforcing their rules and power structures. We should take that power and responsibility seriously and think about what we build. If you think about the interfaces you build as essentially being the law in the system, will that change how you build them? We can easily fall into thinking about “the algorithm” as if it was some sort of rain god we pray to but can’t control - but we can and should use our control in everything we build. We think of things like evil puppet masters when we think of control, but everything we build controls in some way, and pretending we can abdicate control doesn’t help anyone. Corin talks about how to think positively in terms of making user of our power, how to see the possibilities, and where to look for inspiration. Oh, and don’t fall into the trap of thinking that what we have right now is set in stone and can’t and never should change. Let’s keep iterating! Finally, we talk a bit of disconnecting from the internet to do deeper and more focused work.

Fredrik talks to Pedro Abreu about the magical world of type theory. What is it, and why is it useful to know about and be inspired by? Pedro gives us some background on type theory, and then we talk about how type theory can provide new ways of reasoning about programs, and tools beyond tests to verify program correctness. This doesn’t mean that all languages should strive for the nirvana of dependent types, but knowing the tools are out there can come in handy even if the code you write is loosely typed. We wrap up with some further podcast tips, of course including Pedro’s own podcast Type theory forall. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik talks to Balint Erdi about the web framework Ember. Where did Ember come from, what stands out about it today, how do new features get into the framework, and how is development being made more sustainable? Plus: Balint’s experiences organizing Emberfest, and quite a bit of appreciation for the Ruby and Ember communities in general.

Fredrik talks to Evan Czaplicki, creator of Elm about figuring out a good path for yourself. What do you do when you have a job which seems like it would be your dream job, but it turns out to be the wrong thing for you? And how do you escape from that? You can’t put the success of something you build before your own personal and mental health, no matter how right the decision may be for the thing you build. Is there ever a reproducible path? Aren’t most or all successful things in large part a result of their circumstances? Platform languages and productivity languages - which do you prefer? Thoughts on the tradeoffs of when and how to roll things out and when to present ideas. Evan’s development mindset and environment, and the ways it has affected Elm’s design - all the way down to the error messages. Finally, of course, the benefits of country life - out of the radiation of San Francisco. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik talks to Christian Clausen about the many facets of simplicity. The cloud and serverless was supposed to be simpler than running your own hardware, but you easily get stuck trying to select the right message bus, needing to know the intricacies of your chosen cloud provider infrastructure, and the like. You end up building your software around the infrastructure you’ve ended up with - rather than picking infrastructure which is right for your software. The CFO should not be the architect of the software. Core values and principles - set them up, reflect on them, and notice and decide what to do when they are broken. Should the system change if its core principles are broken, or should the principles be updated to reflect reality? Christian argues simplicity should be a core principle, and very carefully considered and encouraged. There are enough barriers already, even before you start adding complexity around the problems you’re trying to solve. And hide the things you do pull in behind true abstractions which don’t leak all over the place. Don’t ask what you can add, ask what you can postpone. Generality adds complexity. The more often something changes, the more specific it should be. Where are the tools which suggest more things to remove instead of things to add? Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Fredrik talks to Jack Cheng - author and creator of the iPhone note capture app Bebop. Jack describes where Bebop came from and how he built it, and how and why Copilot and other AI tools became integral parts of the workflow. Being aware of the maintenance cost of each decision, keeping things focused, avoiding building yourself into a bloated corner - sometimes even deciding certain things don’t belong in your app. Coding on the side, needing to balance the time you have? Use it to your advantage! Jack also talks about the other apps he uses for working with notes and writing, and how different apps feel right for different types of writing.

Fredrik paid a visit to Hogia and got the opportunity to talk to Woody Zuill and Martin Lassbo about mob programming, innovation, and keeping an open and curious mind. Mob programming is still new. Every time you say “that can’t work”, you tend to be proven wrong eventually. Try it, for a year or two. You can’t evaluate things after trying it for just an hour or two, some things take much longer. But do steer and adjust often. How frequently do you want to steer? Short iterations are valuable in that they give us more opportunities to steer work in a good direction. Standardization stifles innovation. Sometimes you do want it, but it depends on which space you’re in. We had a process, but we still succeeded! Where did the thought I have originate? All your thoughts started somewhere else. The things we most believe can hide our biggest mistakes. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik is again joined by Malin Sundberg and Kai Dombrowski for a review of attending this year’s WWDC, working with “AI”, and more. The experience of attending - a lot about the great community. News from the conference - a Snow leopard year, in a good way. Lots of nice fixes and additions - Swiftui, fun widgets, and of course lots of question marks around whatever Apple intelligence will grow up to be. And of course a little side of the ongoing story of Apple versus the EU. Apple intelligence also leads naturally into a discussion on how everyone works with language models, copilots, and so on. There is also some discussion of summer development plans, localization, and the snobbiest coffee country in the world. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik is joined by Malin Sundberg and Kai Dombrowski for a quick chat about the Deep dish Swift conference, the past and present of Mercury weather, their next app project, and what might happen at Apple’s WWDC in June. The first big topic is the developer conference Deep dish Swift. Malin and Kai not only participated in the conference itself, but also created the Slices podcast, interviewing the speakers of the conference. How are indie developers different from each other, and why might it be a bad idea for Malin and Kai to do a regular podcast with Charlie Chapman? We then dig into the evolution of Mercury weather since the last episode - especially the trip forecast feature. Yes: timezones were a big part of the challenge. The secret marketing advantage of having a Mac version of your IOS app. Next Malin and Kai talk about their movie industry project - an app for planning shoot days for movies and TV. A project which has given them lots of insight into the quirks of a whole new industry, and made them see whole different things in movies they watch. We revisit our use of VR for work and gaming. VR of course shades naturally into bringing Mercury to Vision pro - a quick process, but some interesting adjustments were required. With WWDC fast approaching, we talk wishes and ideas. What would we like the Ipad to become? We do some interesting speculation about Apple’s coming focus on “AI” and how that might work together with apps. Fredrik should perhaps spend some time on his Mac app? Finally, Malin and Kai reveal their summer project: a kanban-style workflow tracking app. Done with paper cuts! Also: good deadlines.

Fredrik is joined by Emil Privér and Leandro Ostera for a discussion of the OCaml ecosystem, and making it Saas-ready by building Riot. First of all: OCaml. What is the thing with the language, and how you might get into it coming from other languages? The OCaml community is nice, interested in getting new people in, and pragmatic. And it has a nice mix of research and industry as well. Then, Leandro tells us about Riot - an experiment in bringing everything good about the Erlang and Elixir ecosystems into OCaml. The goal? Make OCaml saas-ready. Riot is not 1.0 just yet, but an impressive amount has been built in just five(!) months. Emil moves the discussion over to the mindset of shipping, and of finding and understanding good ideas in other places and picking them up rather than reinventing the wheel. Leandro highly recommends reading the code of other projects. Read and understand the code and solutions others have written, re-use good ideas and don’t reinvent the wheel more often than you really have to. Last, but by no means least, shoutouts to some of the great people building the OCaml community, and a bit about Emil’s project DBCaml. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Fredrik is joined by Eric Normand for a discussion of debugging your ideas through domain modeling, using Eric’s concept of lenses to find more good questions to ask. Eric is writing a book about domain modeling and has developed the concept of lenses - ways to look at various aspects of your domain, model, and code in order to better consider various solutions and questions. Why? Because design is needed, but is easily lost in the modern urge to be fast and agile. There’s a lot you can and need do on the way to a working system. Eric pushes for design which is an integral part, perferably right in the code, rather than a separate one which can become outdated and separated without anyone noticing. Just spend a little more time on it. Tricks for seeing your domain with fresher eyes. Change is not always maximal and unpredictable! But thinking it is can lead to a lot of indirection and abstraction where a single if-statement could have sufficed for years. Refactoring as a way of finding the seams in your model. What is the code actually supposed to do? How does it actually fit with the domain? Recorded during Øredev 2023, where Eric gave two presentations about the topics discussed: Better software design with domain modeling and Stratified design and functional architecture.

Fredrik has Matt Topol and Lars Wikman over for a deep and wide chat about Apache Arrow and many, many topics in the orbit of the language-independent columnar memory format for flat and hierarchical data. What does that even mean? What is the point? And why does Arrow only feel more and more interesting and useful the more you think about deeply integrating it into your systems? Feeding data to systems fast enough is a problem which is focused on much less than it ought to be. With Arrow you can send data over the network, process it on the CPU - or GPU for that matter- and send it along to the database. All without parsing, transformation, or copies unless absolutely necessary. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Diana Larsen about leadership and building good teams. How to get into leaderhip? Often it’s more about picking up expectations than getting a formal onboarding Learning to not do things yourself when you start leading - everything you do is one less thing the team learns to do for itself Leadership roles are on different levels, and on a different level than non-leadership positions. A lot of thing can become invisible to people on other levels. Some things should be, others should be made visible. People want to be understood, and understand what other people in the organization are doing and what challenges they have. And everything doesn’t have to be a formal meeting with agendas and stuff. Power dynamics - hard to percieve and to talk about. Even what location you are in can become part of the power dynamics and important to take into consideration. Teams - they also exist on different levels. They don’t have to be static. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after his keynote, Fredrik chats to Cyrus Clarke about plants, imagining things, exploring, and building. And not presenting speculative things as possible here right now. Daring to not be useful right now. How to bridge the gap between theory and academia on one side and practice and industry wanting to build things right now? By example. Do our short time scales and focus on iteration hurt us? Eighteen months sounds like an impossibly long timespan, because we think in two-week iterations of what we have and customers want right now. Getting in touch with researchers.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Na’Tosha Bard about picking good building blocks, getting products done, and code outliving you. Software outlives you.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Galit Ariel about being inspired by the right science fiction, uninspired futures, and much more. It’s all thanks to Star Trek - a vision of the future which is actually positive and thoughtful What science fiction can teach us about what we think of as the other Uninspired future building - is it that things become so big they become more bland because they can’t afford to not be wide and bland? Too much push for product and profit Microsoft, AI, and the panic to surf the current wave Will cultures change? Perhaps a recession will help - reality is biting a bit at the worst misdirections.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Monika Bielskyte about finding, building, and approaching better visions for the future. We discuss things such as: Disabilities for innovation and better design More inclusion in design for people on edges improves the world for precisely everyone Why does a concept like protopia feel so new? Why have we been stuck thinking about dystopias and exclusive utopias for so long? Informed hope. Everything has a context, and the context matters! No huge solution for everything Design with, not for We all create the future all the time. Propaganda and disinformation wants to overwhelm, to disengage. But we can all counteract this and improve the world by doing good things in our daily lives. Put more good information into the systems - and remember to make it cool as well! We never arrive at a perfect future, it’s the steps we take and what we make here and now that builds it. All or nothing is the old utopia-dystopia thing again - the zero-sum game. Dystopian storytelling is way too easy. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded at Øredev 2022, Fredrik chats with Natalia Tepluhina about perhaps the most complicated part of frontend development: state management. Why is state management so tricky, and what can we do about it? Natalia tells a fascinating story of a beautiful abomination of state management libraries in a single application. Don’t be the bottleneck. Some people enjoy it, but it doesn’t do you any good (or your company for that matter). Natalia realized she had become one, and took action to resolve the issue. Once we leave state behind us, we discuss documentation writing and contributions - in many ways it’s actually harder than contributing to code. You need a much wider perspective, so the idea that documentation is some easy start to contributing isn’t necessarily correct. Finally: never forget to reach out! Report the issue, offer to help, ask for the feature, or whatever else it is that you’ve thought about doing but never got around to! Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Fredrik chats with Daniel Eke about creative visual coding, learning through side projects, and a lot more. The discussion revolves around Daniel’s apps: the visualizer Ferromagnetic, polygon drawing tool Handstract, and photo polygonizer Centroid. Code lets you create art which is interactive and immersive in a way many other art forms can’t. Develop your side projects so that you save time - re-use code, structure it in ways which make things easy and fast for you. Focus on hard problems rather than getting all caught up in low-hanging fruit and simple feature requests. Learn the systems you are using, look at others to learn more tricks. Try stuff out, and don’t worry too much about the tools. Build it inside something you already have. Or, use Apple’s Shortcuts - that might be much easier than setting up some service to run a script. The magic of programming is that you can create something valuable by thinking through problems and expressing the solution in code. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Recorded at the Øredev 2022 developer conference, Fredrik chats with Michele Riva about writing a full-text search engine, maintaining 8% of all Node modules, going to one conference per week, refactoring, the value of a good algorithm, and a lot more. Michele highly recommends writing a full-text search engine. He created Lyra - later renamed Orama, and encourages writing your own in order to demystify subjects. Since the podcast was recorded, Michele has left his then employer Nearform and founded Oramasearch to focus on the search engine full time. We also discuss working for product companies versus consulting, versus open source. It’s more about differences between companies than anything else. Open source teaches you deal with more and more different people. Writing code is never just writing code. Should we worry about taking on too many dependencies? Michele is in favour of not fearing dependencies, but ensuring you understand how things important parts for your application work. Writing books is never convenient, but it can open many doors. When it comes to learning, there are areas where a whole level of tutorials are missing - where there is only really surface-level tutorial and perhaps deep papers, but nothing in between. Michele works quite a bit on bridging such gaps through his presentations. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded at the Øredev 2022 developer conference, Fredrik chats with Cliff Hazell about connecting the whole organization as it grows, priorities, and more. Don’t just sit around in your room and think about horses. Talking across silos and departments, all without overloading everyone with meetings? Learn to surf rather than trying to control the ocean. Make good changes and enable flexibility without making process out of everything. Just making something top priority and finishing it can get you so much more done, rather than trying to make everything number one, or think forever about which thing to prioritize. How is something we are doing actually moving us toward our goals? Wrapping up by discussing combining doing good work with taking responsibility for our impact on the team, the company, and the world. It’s not that you either can do good or make money. Finally, related to one of Øredev’s keynotes , Fredrik admits his annoyance at the fact that deadlines can be a good thing. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded at the Øredev 2022 developer conference, Fredrik chats with Aino Vonge Corry about patterns and their effects on our lives. Aino works with both academia and industry, regularly switching between the two, and talks about what each can and wants to learn from the other. We also discuss Aino’s own research, and how programming languages and patterns influence each other. We talk about teaching patterns - and who teaches the teachers to teach. It is easy to get stuck thinking that the patterns in the book are the one true list, when the whole power of a pattern is giving a name to some common thing in your own environment so that you can discuss it at a higher level. Which are the patterns in your organization? Perhaps you too could be helped by trying a double bottleneck? Also: antipatterns!

Recorded at the Øredev 2022 developer conference, Fredrik chats with Denis Radin about React, Webgpu, standards development, coding standards, and a lot more. We start way back, with early React development - while React was still in beta, on amazingly bad hardware. A project where focus was actually on optimization and education instead of throwing hardware at solving the performance problem. We discuss AI art generation a bit, and how it affects our world. Denis then gets into how Webgpu is different from Webgl, mostly a lot better for a lot more use cases. What’s holding back really cool graphical things in the browser now? Getting paid! Denis tells us about the development of the Webgpu standard, a unique standard which filled a gap major players all wanted filling. What if we applied NASA coding guidelines to Javascript? Denis did it to show that Javascript can be taken as seriously as C or other low-level languages, if we just want to. Do we web developers have more to internalize when it comes to pride in craftmanship? But examples are out there if we just know to look for them. What does Denis think of React’s evolution? Finally, fullstack frameworks are coming and exciting. They are a revolution for Denis' side projects already! Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik talks to Kai Dombrowski and Malin Sundberg of Triple glazed studios about their new weather app Mercury weather. Malin and Kai tell us how the app went from idea to release in a few short months, and why they will try not to pick the summer months the next time they start a new app. What was the release like, what was it like to be mentioned by John Gruber, and how did that change the bug reports?

Fredrik chats with Chris Ferdinandi about vanilla Javascript, the pros and cons of libraries, the state of web components, and a lot more. Chris tells us about how and why he became the vanilla Javascript guy, and why he dislikes vanilla-js.com. We talk about why we as web developers pick up so many libraries, and why we often seem to use really large tools on really small problems. We wonder if different types of developers should think in different ways about libraries. Chris also talks about how different groups attending his courses approach the subject of vanilla Javascript in different ways, and of course a bit about where he hopes and thinks web development might be heading in the next few years.

Fredrik chats with Niels Østergaard about working with AR and VR. How is the experience is different and how can you think differently about VR and AR? VR can take you to a completely different place, but you still have to worry about the physical world around you breaking the immersion (or your TV). We discuss “the M-word” - metaverse - what and who is it for? Niels explains how it might actually be useful in some circumstances! What’s exciting right now in AR? Remember how AR is already here in a lot of ways - including in most people’s phones. Who makes the most exciting devices right now, who makes intersting AR experiences, and will Apple’s possible headsets make any difference? What’s missing right now? Niels thinks more of common formats would be useful - to make it easier to move content between experiences. Niels also predicts AI-supported generation of content will be a big thing.

This episode is sponsored by Snyk. Fredrik talks to Snyk founder and president Guy Podjarny about building security tools for developers, tools which you will actually use and enjoy. Guy talks about how Snyk was built to bring developer focus into security, building with a great focus on the user instead of on the person paying the bills for tools or looking at the reports. The world may not stop revolving around developers - meaning we need to cover wider and wider areas of knowledge - but we need to accept the responsibility of this, and use good tools to enable us to build better things more easily and take on all that responsibility in a good way. Guy describes Snyk’s suite of tools and how they are built to be maximally useful and convenient to developers. Security problems and their fixes can be as easy as fixing a spelling mistake if built right! Snyk’s tools can look at the whole application and understand the context. They can look at node_modules and filter out the problems which actually do not affect your app, and suggest appropriate fixes for the problems which do. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Fredrik chats with Tommy Maloteaux about his VR god game Deisim and all the interesting stuff which has happened in and around the game since episode 406 where Tommy first was a guest on the podcast. We start with some background on Tommy and how he got into game development from a start as a web developer. Then Tommy tells us how he got started creating the game. Tommy likes to start small and iterate, and he chose to start with the AI. We also discuss how the word AI can sound a lot more intimidating than when you actually need to build for your game. Deisim is available on multiple platforms, and since we last spoke it has become available through Oculus App lab, and thus much easier to play on Oculus quest. Tommy tells us about how App lab works, and how it has changed things for Deisim (and saved Oculus a lot of developer accounts). The other major event for Deisim since last time is that the game sells enough that it has allowed Tommy to make the game his full time job. Tommy talks about how going full time has changed how he works on the game, like both having more time, and also given him a chance to find a nice work-life balance. Also: how temperature can affect what gets worked on for the game. We discuss what hardware Tommy uses to develop the game, and interesting differences between running on desktop versus mobile hardware. On the Quest, the game is GPU bound, on the PC it’s CPU bound. A 2D mode for the game is in development, and Tommy talks about that version and what changes he needed to make to get the game running in 2D on a PC with a mouse. A well-factored code base and build pipeline helped a lot. Last but not least, Tommy discusses the power of having core values for your project, which the core values for Deisim are, and letting them guide what gets put in or not.

Kristoffer chats with Harald Achitz about test-driven development, Djinni, meetups, and the standardization of C++. How does Harald do TDD? His focus on code coverage plays a role too. Clouds make it easier to skip tests, because everything becomes part of a big puzzle which only lives in production? Building habits are the big thing, not which actual tools you use and whether they can be used everywhere. Then, we discuss Djinni - a interface definition language and code generator for integrating C++ into applications written in other languages. The discussion then moves on to the C++ meetups Harald arranges, another aspect of solving the difficult social side of programming by networking and sharing information. Harald also puts the presentations on Youtube and is fascinated by how accessible the tools are nowadays for recording, producing and publishing video these days. The C++ meetup paused during the pandemic, and we discuss the pros and cons of moving to online meetups. Finally, we discuss the standardization process of C++, and the possibility of forming a local C++ body for Sweden to be involved in the standardization process. We should be interested in getting involved in the standard, both as developers, companies, and industries. Get in touch with Harald if you have ideas and want to help things happen!

Kristoffer chats with Harald Achitz about Harald’s path as a developer, test-driven development, seeing the big picture, and more. The first part of the discussion is Harald’s background: Growing up on the far side of Europe, focusing on music, and how he eventually landed in computing. Freelancing as a developer in 1995 - what was that like? How did one find customers? The story then goes into Harald’s way into C and C++. Developing for medical devices and hospitals. Moving toward Linux, making a living as an open source developer, and eventually ending up in Sweden. Then, the conversation moves to Harald’s increasing interest in what happens after you finish writing the code; builds, releases, integrations, package managers, build systems, and so much more. We talk quite a bit about seeing the big picture, and how our code is, at best, a temporary and unimportant part of the greater whole. Are we too focused on the next task, at the expense of thinking about and seeing the whole? Harald explains why he likes to have 100% code coverage, how he goes about setting up his tests, and the challenges of setting up tests when responsibilities strech across teams. Many of the hardest problems are organizational, the code we write is, on the whole, often not very important. Code is temporary. All of which is more motivation for testing more.

Fredrik chats with Wilson Snyder about Verilator, chip design, performance, and open hardware. This episode is a bit of a follow-up to episode 389 where Robert Wikander talked - in Swedish - about verification of circuit designs. Afterward, Robert mentioned that we should really ask Wilson Snyder to talk about Verilator, and here we are! Wilson works with CPU and other hardware design, and is one of the lead developers of Verilator. When you design hardware, hardware description languages come in handy - you use them to describe hardware precisely. Then you can generate runnable code simulating the hardware, and run batteries of tests against it without needing to manufacture physical hardware. Verilator is one tool for turning code in the Verilog hardware description language into C++ or Systemc. The major competing tools are more on the interpreter side - which means that Verilator usually has a performance advantage. Oh, and it’s GPL licensed as well. As we discuss, Verilator doesn’t actually support all of Verilog, but that’s being worked on. And increased performance in itself is a clear goal of both research and concrete improvements. We also discuss a bit what might come out hardware-wise in the future. Wilson predicts DPUs - data-offload units, basically - will become even more of a thing than today. The second part of the discussion is focused on Verilator itself - how it’s built, designed, and developed. People with knowledge of compilers will feel right at home inside the Verilator source code. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik chats with Tommy Maloteaux, developer of VR god game Deisim. Tommy tells us where the inspiration came from, how he started developing the game, the tools he’s used, and more. Deisim has been developed most of the time as an early access game with a active community of players contributing heavily to the process. Also discussed are the problems of 2016, and the advantage of not knowing too much when starting. Since we recorded, Oculus has released App lab - a feature which makes it possible to buy and try Deisim and many other games right inside the Quest headset, without the need of sideloading or other complicating processes.

Fredrik chats with Dave Jones of Podcast index - a new open podcast directory and API, and also one of the drivers of a new podcasting namespace for RSS. Podcasting as infrastructure has not advanced much at all in a long time. Dave, Adam and Podcast index wants to preserve podcasting as free and distributed, and also advance what the ecosystem can be - such as providing value. The namespace contains down-to-earth things such as chapters and location tags, but also much more ambitious ideas. Part of the vision is to reimagine podcasting as a platform of value where listeners can more easily and naturally support not only podcasters, but also app developers and anyone else who might be involved. This is where the value tag and cryptocurrencies enter the picture. We also discuss programming languages a bit - what it takes to entice you to really get into a programming language. Perhaps the specific languages we use are no longer as critical as they used to be? How hard is it to set up your own podcast directory? Not that hard, says David, but keeping it within a sane budget can take some balancing. And if everyone supported Websub things wouldn’t be nearly as tricky.

Paul Frazee returns to discuss the evolution of Beaker - the peer-to-peer browser for web hackers. Just released as a public beta, Beaker has gone through a lot of changes since October when we last chatted. Paul tells us about what Beaker is and some of the important concepts, such as feeds, the file system, and starting to create things on top of them. On the surface, Beaker looks like a standard web browser with some unusual buttons, but just below the UI there’s a lot of peer-to-peer technology, a serverless model of the web where you can just as easily edit, add, and remix as you can browse. Beaker feels like a tool to make the web open and easily editable - something anyone can pick up and start hacking on without strange hurdles of server setups, package management, hosting fees, and build scripts. We also talk about the very iterative and open development process of Beaker, and the high value of user testing. Paul talks about some of the many interesting problems left to solve, and the reasons why they’re better solved later. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded at Øredev 2019, Fredrik talks to Nate Ebel about special cases in programming - like the importance of performance when it comes to drawing. Then we discuss automation - also the topic of Nate’s talk at the conference. Code review should be an enjoyable thing! Nate discusses how to use tools to automate away all the little things you might want to check during development - such as how the size of the built app changes. As a bonus, it’s hard to get mad at a picky bot. We also discuss the importance and difficulty of taking the extra step and making your automation really turnkey, instead of something you set up once and then forgot to maintain or make easy for others to use. We talk about the book Nate just (at the time of the interview) wrote on Kotlin. We discuss both the approach and contents of the book, and also the process of actually writing the book.

Recorded at Øredev 2019, Fredrik talks to Marianne Bellotti; keynote speaker, software anthropologist and frequent modernizer of legacy systems. We start our discussion talking about modernizing old yet mission critical systems, while they’re still being used, without breaking everything. “Legacy” might invoke ancient software, but even a young system can have a lot of legacy which has not been updated in a surprisingly long time. From there we move on to code as the new pottery shards - coming to understandsing software from a perspective of anthropology - it’s a surprisingly natural and interesting way to approach legacy systems. We also talk about mindmapping and knowledge transfer, how to teach people to think like that amazing code reviewer instead of asking the reviewer all the time. Finally, we talk about how and why people feel the need to back their ideas up with research, or not, and how an idea can run away from you and suddenly become truth just because you happened to package it well.

Recorded at Øredev 2019, Fredrik talks to Stephanie Gasche, who decided to use her skills from the agile software development world to make the larger world better. Stephanie started thinking about wanting to make a positivt impact, and how in many consulting jobs you can give a lot without getting to see a big-picture impact of your work. The refugee movement in 2014-2016 made her realize this was an area where she could make an impact. She started working helping refugees arriving in Austria, and eventually realized something really missing was one good single starting point for refugees. We also discuss why there are so few people doing similar things. It’s hard to get funding in general, and even harder if you don’t fit in specific enough slots that might have specific funding. Also: slow processes. Also: how hitch-hiking can change the world. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Recorded at Øredev 2019, Fredrik talks to Tomer Gabel. We start from Tomer’s talk about microservices, why the timing was right to do a microservices talk in the form of a retrospective, what is happening now, and how the answer to the question of whether you should go microservices has changed in the last few years. Tomer discusses how problems and solutions evolve, are commoditized and sometimes almost disappear as a concept (or gain new terminology to describe them). In the future, we might not be talking or thinking about microservices at all, but the concept may have evolved and adapted and actually form a basis for everything we do - technology becoming so central that we don’t even need to think about it anymore. Also: it may not be worth it to migrate everything into the future. Common sense and judgement required, as always. We discuss how many of the peculiarities of the software development industry may simply be because the industry is so young. Tomer thinks we as an industry will eventually figure things out and become a lot more settled down, and less exciting if you will. We should all be excited about being around in the industry right now, when there is so much freedom and so many things to do and try. Is the software industry somewhat unique in being so much about sharing knowledge? And are we making the most out of our golden age? Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Recorded at Øredev 2019, Fredrik talks to Carmen Medina about affecting change in organizations. Carmen used to work at CIA, and talks about her work there as a heretic, working to affect changes at a theological level. How can you get your ideas implemented without being in a position of power? How can you sneak ideas through side doors? Why might you consider digging into the beaurucratic sides of the organization? And what do tug boat pilots have to do with all this? Finally, we touch a bit on the challenges of promoting diversity and diversity of thought. Does your organization have a working agreement on how to disagree?

Recorded at Øredev 2019, Fredrik talks to Azad Balabanian about virtual and augmented worlds. Azad works with photogrammetry - a process of capturing environments and objects for, among onther possibilities, use in VR and AR. He also hosts the Research VR podcast and dives deep into all aspects of virtual realities. We start with discussing photogrammetry, how it works and what its challenges currently are for those wanting to get into scanning environments on top of just photographing or filming them. Then we discuss how AR is or is not coming along and how to get a feel for what might be coming - by going to hardware conferences and piecing together what different companies are developing. AR has a lot of promise, but it is still a long way from being something you really could imagine wearing all day. There are promising initial use cases, but we are still looking for real consumer killer apps and hardware. We then gradually move over into VR, games, good experiences and how room space and motion sickness are perhaps not the big problems people imagined at the start. Fredrik gets excited by how close most of us regular computer users may actually be to being able to work in VR. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Fredrik talks to Paul Frazee about Beaker browser and making the web more peer-to-peer rather than client-server. Beaker also aims to make it radically easier to create and publish your own content rather Paul explains what Beaker browser is and the technologies it builds on. The central piece of technology is the distributed file system Hyperdrive and the DAT protocol which provides a sort of file- and folder-based API for building applications and handling their data. Paul discusses the hard problems of Beaker and P2P networks - such as deciding when and how you as a peer start to share something online in the system. Sharing everything all the time does not feel like the right solution to the problem. We also discuss how to think about things more like applications and dynamic web sites in the Beaker way.

Fredrik talks to Nolan Lawson - web performance expert, Mastodon instance maintainer, creator of a highly accessible Mastodon web client, and more. We discuss, among other things, the joys of distributed social media, where unlike centralized places like Twitter nobody can stop innovation when it comes to clients and interfaces and ways of use. Nolan talks about how and why he built Pinafore - his Mastodon client. We touch on the different experiences people have and want out of social media, digital wellness, and how caring about performance cam be an act of empathy. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!
