In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how to improve team collaboration in software development through the lens of AI-driven insights. Whether you're a solo developer, part of a tight-knit team, or scaling across departments, collaboration remains the backbone of efficiency and success. What Does Collaboration Mean in Development? AI kicked off the discussion with a powerful insight: define “efficiency” in context. But more importantly, it highlighted that collaboration fuels efficiency, not just working faster, but working better. Effective collaboration avoids: Redundant work Misunderstood requirements Tech debt and burnout Rob emphasized that a productive team isn't rushing through tasks but solving the correct problems—together—on the first try. Collaboration Strategies for Solo Developers Even solo developers need structured collaboration between their tools, their future selves, and their automation stack. Top collaboration tips for independent devs: Use opinionated frameworks like Next.js or Rails to minimize decision fatigue. Automate repetitive tasks early to save time in the long run. Commit code regularly with meaningful messages. Document workflows using Notion, Obsidian, or Jira—even if you're the only one using them. Containerize development environments for repeatability and rapid setup. “Solo doesn't mean siloed. Collaborate with your tools, your past decisions, and future goals.” Enhancing Collaboration in Small Development Teams For teams of 2–10 developers, Rob and Michael discussed how tight feedback loops and structured communication are essential to avoid chaos. Recommended practices for small team collaboration: Short, focused daily standups Shared development environments Lightweight Agile or Kanban boards Early investment in CI/CD pipelines Use of pair programming or mob programming for knowledge sharing Michael emphasized Agile's power in synchronizing team efforts, avoiding duplicated work, and solving problems more efficiently as a unit. “Agile helps teams collaborate—not just communicate. It keeps everyone moving in the same direction.” Solving Common Bottlenecks Together AI highlighted four universal collaboration pain points and solutions: Slow Code Reviews - Use SLAs and rotate reviewers Unclear Requirements - Kick off with 15-minute clarification huddles Testing Paralysis - Focus on integration tests and avoid overtesting Context Switching - Block dedicated focus hours Michael zeroed in on testing paralysis, especially in early-stage projects, where developers are too busy scaffolding to write tests. Without collaboration on testing plans, critical issues may be overlooked until it is too late. Rob addressed context switching, warning against excessive meetings that fragment developer flow. Leads should shield devs from distraction by delivering distilled, actionable feedback. Final Thoughts on Collaborative Development As teams grow, minor issues scale fast, and so do inefficiencies. Tools, meetings, workflows, and expectations must all scale intentionally. Rob reminded leaders to summarize and distill information before passing it to their teams and to make clever use of tools like AI, recordings, and summaries to keep everyone aligned without wasting time. “If you're building better developers, you're also building better collaborators.” Take Action: Build Collaboration Into Your Workflow Reassess your standups and review cycles Empower solo devs with documentation and CI/CD Streamline onboarding with containers Test early, test together Protect team focus time Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

Balazs Molnar, CEO and co-founder of Rabbit, chats with Kieron Allen about the evolving challenges of cloud cost management and how engineering teams have become central to tackling them. He explains why traditional FinOps tools fall short, how Rabbit dives below the surface to uncover hidden waste (especially in platforms like BigQuery) and why automation is essential for real savings.Optimizing Cloud with RabbitThe Big Themes:Cloud Costs Take Center Stage: Companies are no longer asking, "What can we build on the cloud?" They're now asking, "Why is this so expensive?" Rabbit's origin stems from this exact pivot: cloud costs spiraled out of control, catching businesses off guard. Despite robust migration to cloud environments like Google Cloud, companies found themselves ill-equipped to understand the hidden inefficiencies causing waste. Cloud spend can quickly balloon without the right oversight.The Cloud Buffet Problem: Balazs described cloud computing like a buffet: Engineers can take whatever they want, whenever they want. The cloud's flexibility is its strength but also its greatest risk. Unlike traditional on-prem setups that required hardware purchases and physical limits, cloud environments are boundless. Engineering teams now hold the wheel, yet they're typically not tasked to steer toward efficiency. This creates what Molnar calls a "FinOps trap": assuming finance can solve a problem that's fundamentally technical.Why Optimization Matters Now: Cloud vendors are still growing at impressive rates, but cracks are forming. Some businesses are exiting the cloud, not because they dislike the model — but because costs feel unmanageable. Molnar warns that in most cases, this isn't a cloud problem — it's an optimization problem. The promise of cloud was flexibility and scalability. But without proper tools, it becomes unpredictably expensive.The Big Quote: "We all know the news that cloud vendors are growing 30%+ on a year-over-year basis. But we also started to see cracks in the system where companies are actually deciding to move out of the cloud because it's too expensive to them. But the reality [is] it might not have to be that expensive. It's just not optimized."More from Balazs Molnar and Rabbit:Connect with Balazs on LinkedIn and check out more about Rabbit.* Sponsored podcast * 

AI is making headlines across every industry, but how much of it is actually being used on the manufacturing floor?In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad and Dave return to the whiteboard to explore practical and real-world applications of artificial intelligence in manufacturing. From pre-operations to live production, this session covers how AI is being used today across CAD tools, BOM generation, predictive maintenance, system optimization, and machine vision. We also talk through the risks, the limitations, and what still requires human judgment.We begin with design tools and programming before the machine even starts. Then we move through how AI is being used during operations for tasks like work order creation, failure detection, and PLC coding assistance. We explore real use cases for predictive maintenance and ask the tough question: what value are companies actually getting from this technology? Later in the episode we shift into optimization strategies. How can AI help increase throughput or reduce energy costs based on historical data? What does it take to apply these methods in mid-market factories, not just Fortune 100 environments?We also dive into quality inspection and machine vision. These applications are among the most mature in manufacturing today, and we break down examples like barcode inspection, defect detection, and using AI to adapt based on customer complaints. Throughout the episode we share insights from the field and address audience questions about generative AI, simulation tools, and where human expertise still matters most.Referenced in this episode Phoenix Contact case study from Episode 173: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoQjowwDi2M Siemens and Microsoft Copilot initiative Emerson, Bentley Nevada, and GE predictive maintenance platforms University of Tennessee Reliability and Maintainability Center: https://www.rmc.utk.edu UR and Spectral vision systems seen at Automate 2025 Teledyne and Cognex AI-based machine vision tools Cone GAVIN and Siemens Process Simulate Joltek – consulting for manufacturing strategy, automation, and digital transformation: https://www.joltek.com/This is Episode 212 of Manufacturing Hub, your go-to resource for conversations between real practitioners in industrial automation and manufacturing.

Wind Farm operators face mounting challenges from managing thousands of diverse turbines to navigating the energy markets and constant regulatory changes. This week we speak with Alejandro Cabrera Munoz, CEO, and founder of Green Eagle Solutions. Green Eagle's ARSOS platform gives control rooms immediate responses to turbine issues, which dramatically increases productivity and captures more revenue from their turbines. Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining Light on Wind. Energy's brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Alejandro, welcome to the show.  Speaker 3: Thank you, Allen. Thank you for having me here today.  Allen Hall: so Green Eagle Solutions is in a unique space of the renewable energy marketplace, and you saw a problem several years ago, particularly in the control rooms of [00:01:00] wind operators. What is that problem that you identified? Speaker 3: Yeah, Allen, I think it, it's, It's a challenge that, most of our customers, which are generally large operators, are facing today. But it's a challenge that have been, growing, in the past years. So first of all, it's, it goes along with the penetration of renewables in the industry, right? So we have, due to all these many years of aggregating new wind farms and solar plants, We are seeing how the complexity, the technical complexity of operating and supervising these assets is growing exponentially, right? So we now have customers with thousands of wind turbines that have, different models, different versions of, controllers, And also different healthcare issues that they have to take care of. So the technical complexity is a fair, the first [00:02:00] factor that, it's has to be tackled from a control room, And, makes, operations quite, challenging. Along with this, we have market volatility. So in the recent years especially, we are seeing how, Negative pricing and optional markets are now affecting operations in a daily, basis. Basically in every 15 minutes you dunno if you're gonna produce or not. Up until recently it was as simple as if you had wind resource, you would produce energy from wind farms. If you had solar, you produce energy from solar plants. It's not like that anymore. So the market is quite, volatile. that adds a lot of complexity from the commercial point of view of, Of the assets. And the last, factor that is actually becoming, an increasing challenge for everyone is the regulatory changes. So basically due to the penetration of renewable energies, what we see is that all governments, all grid operators and our market operators are constantly issuing [00:03:00] new adapt, new regulatory changes, that everyone has to adapt to no matter what. it doesn't matter if you have an all wind farm or a newer wind farm. Or you prepared or not, like everyone has to be adapted to, to the new regulatory, changes. the three things are actually affecting, our customers and we are trying to solve all these issues, the way, the, best way that we can, right? So most of our customers, we just have a control room full of people. they will do their best effort to accommodate these challenges. The reality is that we have to. Deal with, people, procedures, and, systems, and we,

We usually talk about tech as a problem — screens, addiction, distraction — but what if it could actually make family life better? In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson chats with two innovative parents, Matt and Brianna Donaldson, about how they're using smart technology to support routines, reduce stress, and create more quality time together. From bedtime battles to TV tantrums, discover how smart lights, switches, and routines can bring more peace and predictability to your home — no tech degree required! KEY POINTS: Around 80% of Millennial and Gen Z parents are now using smart home tech to manage home life. Smart devices (like lights, switches, and TVs) can automate routines to reduce friction — especially around bedtime. Tech can enhance a child’s autonomy and transitions (e.g. lights dimming, music playing) without constant parental prompting. Boundaries and structure are still essential — even in tech-forward homes. It’s not about more tech, but intentional tech that supports family connection and calm. You don’t have to spend thousands: starting with a $20 smart switch can begin transforming routines. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “It’s not Mum or Dad turning off the TV — it’s the house. The structure is doing the heavy lifting.” — Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Samsung SmartThings App Smart Switches (available from retailers like JB Hi-Fi or Kmart) Bluey and the Tony Box (a screen-free audio player for kids) The Parenting Revolution – by Dr Justin Coulson happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Start small. Try one smart light or switch in a high-impact area like the bedroom. Automate transitions. Use tech cues (e.g. dim lights + calming music) to support routines like bedtime. Keep boundaries clear. Set firm, predictable limits around tech use — especially screens. Use tech to reclaim time. Automate cleaning (like smart vacuums) or other routines to free up family time. Let the “house be the boss.” Reduce conflict by letting routines and automation do the talking. Prioritise presence. Tech should serve family life, not steal from it.

We're seeing a huge leap in potential when it comes to what AI can accomplish in industrial settings. Not only can it catch errors, it can provide intelligent insights to prevent them in the first place, reduce waste, save costs, and improve processes. Recorded live from Automate 2025, we sat down with Alvin Clark, Senior AI Engineer at NVIDIA, to discuss AI agents in manufacturing and how they're reshaping industrial inspections. We hear about all the different use cases of AI agents, including error detection and understanding the root cause of errors, saving costs, and even supplying training data to patch the gaps in “tribal knowledge” of manufacturing processes. You'll hear real examples of how AI agents have saved costs and reduced errors drastically when monitoring SOPs and how they can provide multimodal maintenance assistance. Alvin also takes us through how NVIDIA's Metropolis works at helping developers create visual AI agents and why the next few years will see visual AI inspections take off in manufacturing. In this episode, find out: Alvin shares his background in the AI space and why he saw potential in AI earlier than most Why 2012 was the real AI boom and how we saw a shift from the algorithm being king to data being king Alvin's explanation for what an AI agent does in four stages How AI agents are evolving beyond capturing data to providing intelligence in industrial settings How vision inspection can perform not only real time error detection but also real time failure analysis Use cases for AI agents and examples of how Alvin has seen them most successful How AI agents could also address the skills gap and replace the multimodal “tribal knowledge” we'll lose when people start retiring Alvin breaks down how Metropolis works to help developers build visual AI agents How simulation, training and data transform what AI agents can accomplish Alvin's perspective on where manufacturers are in their industrial AI journeys The role of systems integrators in leading the AI revolution What the next phase of AI agents will look like Enjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going! Tweetable Quotes: “Metropolis is a combination of models and tools that are used to build what we call vision analytics. So anytime you're looking at video images and you want to extract information from that, these are the tools that can help you do that.” - Alvin Clark “It's not really the ability to catch the error, it's the ability to, as quickly as possible understand the genesis that caused the error.” - Alvin Clark  ”If I had to kind of describe an AI agent, it is a collection of one or more models that can perceive, reason, and potentially plan and then execute.” - Alvin Clark Links & mentions: NVIDIA Metropolis, automating physical spaces and infrastructure with interactive visual AI agents and services AlexNet, a convolutional neural network architecture developed for image classification tasks, like identifying a cat Make sure to visit

Microsoft 365 Copilot has been identified as having a significant security vulnerability known as Echo Leak, which allows hackers to access sensitive information without user interaction. This zero-click exploit was discovered by AIM Security after three months of reverse engineering the software. Although Microsoft claims the issue has been addressed and no customers were affected, experts warn that this flaw reflects deeper security concerns in AI systems, reminiscent of vulnerabilities seen in software two decades ago. The incident raises critical questions about the security of AI agents that have ambient access to data and the need for rethinking endpoint protection and trust boundaries.OpenAI's latest threat report reveals that state-level actors, including those linked to North Korea and Russia, are exploiting ChatGPT for cyber operations. The report outlines ten operations that were shut down, including the generation of fake job applications and social media content aimed at spreading disinformation. Notably, some campaigns were traced back to China, showcasing the use of AI in creating deceptive online personas. This highlights the strategic use of AI by malicious actors, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and security measures.ConnectWise is facing scrutiny over its recent digital certificate updates, urging customers to update their ScreenConnect, Automate, and ConnectWise RMM solutions. The company is attempting to distance itself from a previously disclosed nation-state breach while addressing concerns raised by a third-party researcher regarding configuration data handling. The rushed certificate rotation has led to reduced confidence among customers, especially given the recent history of exploitation of ScreenConnect. This situation underscores the importance of transparency and trust in vendor relationships, as well as the need for managed service providers to audit their update processes.New tools from Huntress, Netgear, and Varonis signal a shift towards more automated and resilient security solutions. Huntress has launched a Threat Simulator to enhance user engagement in security training, while Netgear's acquisition of Exium aims to simplify networking and security for managed service providers. Varonis has introduced a Model Context Protocol Server to integrate AI tools into its data security platform. These developments reflect a growing trend in cybersecurity towards realism, automation, and simplification, emphasizing the need for IT service providers to adapt and align with these evolving security landscapes. Three things to know today 00:00 From Copilot to Cybercrime: How AI Agents Are Creating New Frontlines in Espionage and Misinformation05:54 ConnectWise Urges Immediate Updates Amid Certificate Rotation, Rekindling Security Concerns After Prior Breach08:45 Automation, Engagement, and Recovery: Security Vendors Roll Out Tools That Align with MSP Priorities Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Do you wear "busy" as a badge of honor while still feeling behind? You're not alone. In this powerful conversation with productivity expert Jones Loflin, author of Focused as a Bee, we explore how busyness may be the very thing blocking your goals. Drawing from the focused nature of honeybees, Jones shows that true productivity comes not from doing more, but from doing what truly matters.Through his TAD framework (Transfer, Automate, Drop), Jones shares practical ways to reclaim your time. He explains how identifying the "micro purpose" behind tasks, breaking projects into small “one jobs,” and even embracing rest—like bees taking 40 naps a day—can boost your effectiveness and reduce burnout.Jones also uncovers the three main distractions hurting your focus: internal thoughts, external noise, and unclear expectations. His simple strategies help you minimize interference and maximize impact. The key takeaway: performance improves when we remove what's getting in the way. So—what will you eliminate today?

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things—posting consistently, grinding day in and day out, hustling hard—but still not getting the traction you hoped for? Maybe you've thought about starting a podcast or launching a business, but the road ahead feels foggy, full of risk, and just plain overwhelming. If you're nodding your head, then this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast is about to be your new favorite listen.In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Travis Chappell—a seasoned entrepreneur, top-ranked podcaster, and founder and CEO of Guestio, a platform that helps podcasters and content creators book high-level guests easily. Travis has built a name for himself in the podcasting space, and now he's making bold moves into brick-and-mortar businesses. What's interesting is that instead of chasing flashy, high-risk startups, Travis is leaning into stable, “boring” business models—and turning them into serious cash machines. Yeah, we're talking laundromats, self-storage, and other “unsexy” businesses that work.We covered a lot of ground in this convo—from the current state of podcasting to monetization strategies, to AI's impact on the workforce, to navigating the challenges of fatherhood and entrepreneurship. Travis doesn't sugarcoat anything. He talks about the reality of building a podcast and why consistency alone isn't enough. He opens up about his journey, including the lessons learned from his time building Guestio, and why he decided to pivot toward more predictable businesses.One major theme that stood out in our chat is that podcasting is still in its infancy. Despite the growth we've seen in recent years, there's still room to make a mark—if you're willing to commit. Travis and I agreed: consistency is just the entry fee. You've got to commit to getting better over time, treating your show like a business, and playing the long game. Travis shared that when he started, he made a non-negotiable commitment to release three interviews per week for two years—no questions asked. That level of dedication is what separates the dabblers from the doers.When it comes to monetizing your podcast, Travis simplified it in a way that cuts through all the noise. There are only two ways: sell your stuff, or sell someone else's. Whether it's your products, courses, services—or affiliate offers and sponsorships—you have to get clear on which direction you're headed. Stop waiting for downloads to magically turn into dollars. Build an offer, create value, and promote it intentionally.But perhaps the most refreshing part of our conversation was Travis's take on where real business opportunity lies today. We're in a world obsessed with innovation, yet Travis is proving that tried-and-true models are often the fastest way to freedom. Think about it: buying a small business with steady cash flow, minimal competition, and low bankruptcy rates? That's a way smarter play than risking everything on a flashy startup. And with tools like AI entering the scene, you can now make those traditional businesses even more efficient. Automate the boring stuff. Lower your costs. Increase margins. Scale smart. We also got real about personal life—especially the pressure to “do it all.” As dads and entrepreneurs, it's easy to feel guilty. Guilty when you're working and not with your kids. Guilty when you're home and not grinding. But as Travis shared so powerfully: wherever you are, be there. If you're with your family, be fully present. Don't be glued to your phone. And if you're working, be focused without regret. Balance isn't about perfect harmony—it's about intentionality and owning your cycles of focus.So if you've been on the fence about starting a podcast, launching a new venture, or rethinking how you spend your time, this episode is a must-listen. Travis delivers practical wisdom, honest advice, and a refreshing perspective that'll challenge how you view success.In this episode, we cover:The State of Podcasting: Is It Too Late to Start?Common Mistakes New Podcasters MakeMonetizing Your Podcast: Strategies and InsightsThe Value of Podcasting Beyond MonetizationGuestio: The Journey and Lessons LearnedTransitioning from Tech to Brick and Mortar BusinessesAdvice for Young Entrepreneurs: Starting SmartThe Importance of Timing in Selling a BusinessFinal Thoughts and Reflections on EntrepreneurshipIdentifying Opportunities in Boring BusinessesThe Role of Technology in Business InnovationThe Impact of AI on IndustriesNavigating Fatherhood and EntrepreneurshipThe Essence of Happy HustlingWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Travis says it's not putting off happiness for some elusive future date in the guise of pursuing status now. think, I think just too many people think that it's like, well, I'll worry about happiness once I'm done with this thing. Or once I, once I have 10 million in the bank, then I'll worry about happiness. And it's like, well, that's not exactly how happiness is.Connect with Travishttps://www.instagram.com/travischappell/https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/https://twitter.com/traviscchappellhttps://www.facebook.com/traviscchappellhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ex2Vz6Jj9cTSiHy7KTICAFind Travis on this website: https://travischappell.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.
