Today's guest is Alain-Sam Cohen, Head of Product at InstaDeep—an AI firm using reinforcement learning and other advanced techniques to solve complex design and optimization problems across industries. It may not make headlines like generative AI, but for manufacturers and engineers, PCB design remains one of the most time-intensive steps in building physical systems. From strict physical constraints to millions of potential component arrangements, even expert teams face persistent bottlenecks. Alain-Sam breaks down how InstaDeep's AI-driven approach is changing that reality—using reinforcement learning to accelerate and enhance circuit board layout in ways rules-based systems can't match.

Welcome to a new season of the Building Better Developers podcast! Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche return with a fresh twist—this time, they're putting artificial intelligence in the co-pilot seat. In Season 25, titled “Building Better Developers with AI,” the team explores how AI can shape, support, and sometimes challenge the development journey. Whether you're AI-curious or just trying to keep up, this season promises something for every mid-level developer looking to grow. Why Start a Season on Building Better Developers with AI? As Rob explains in the episode opener, the idea for the season was sparked by a playful experiment: using ChatGPT to generate potential season topics. What started as a brainstorming tool quickly turned into something bigger. “Let's actually use AI to shape the season—ask it what topics we should cover and see where it leads.” AI suggested several solid themes, many of which the podcast had tackled before—security, dev tools, career development—but what stood out was the AI's suggestion itself: a season dedicated to AI for developers. “AI for the Rest of Us”: A New Way to Build Better Developers The team quickly aligned on a theme: AI for the Rest of Us. It's not about diving into PhD-level machine learning models. Instead, this season will focus on making AI practical, accessible, and even a little fun. Callout:

Building better businesses is the focus of this season of the Building Better Developers podcast. As the show wraps up, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche reflect on what it truly takes to grow and sustain a successful business. With episodes packed full of real-world advice, the season offered an honest look at the balance between managing operations and planning for long-term growth. Whether you're running a startup or scaling a consulting firm, the challenges discussed this season are highly relatable, and the insights are actionable. Smart Strategies for Building Better Businesses This season delivered a broad spectrum of ideas—from improving customer support systems to deciding when to hire or outsource. Rob and Michael emphasized both short-term wins and longer-term initiatives that can set a business on a more sustainable path. “It's all about making your business better—whether that's better processes or better planning.” – Rob Broadhead By encouraging listeners to apply lessons week by week, the season became a roadmap for identifying and fixing critical business gaps. Automation and Resetting for Business Focus One of the season's strongest messages came from Michael's personal experience: getting stuck in the day-to-day grind. Like many tech-focused founders, he spent so much time coding and serving clients that back-office responsibilities were pushed aside. “You have to reset. I was doing the work, but I wasn't taking care of the business.” – Michael Meloche Turning off notifications and eliminating distractions helped him reclaim time and focus on strategic areas, such as hiring, finances, and operations. Challenge-Based Insights for Better Growth Each episode featured a unique challenge—practical steps like refreshing your website or reviewing your marketing channels. Rob noted that simply blocking calendar time to work on these areas made a noticeable difference. These challenges weren't theoretical—they were tools for building structure and momentum in a growing business. By applying even one challenge a week, listeners could steadily improve their systems and habits. Work-Life Balance and Building Better Businesses Another theme that resonated strongly was the need for rest and recovery. Michael shared his struggle with feeling guilty for taking time off, only to find that stepping away actually increased his productivity. “If you don't take care of yourself, it's like skipping oil changes—eventually the engine gives out.” – Michael Meloche This conversation reinforced that health and mindset are just as crucial to a business as any product or service. Remote Work and Office Culture As businesses shift post-pandemic, the debate over remote vs. in-office work persists. Rob and Michael explored the trade-offs of both environments, acknowledging that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. “You need to do what's right for the business, the team, and the customer.” – Michael Meloche Balancing flexibility with connection is an ongoing challenge that every business must navigate in alignment with its mission and culture. Final Thoughts: Keep Building Better Businesses Every Day Rob closed the episode with a powerful reminder: every business is a living system with competing demands. Just like software, it requires constant attention, updates, and realignment to continue functioning properly. “There's a business-business balance too—not just work-life balance. Find your ‘why,' and let it guide your decisions.” – Rob Broadhead Not every episode will apply to every business stage, but together, they form a comprehensive guide for those committed to growth and leadership.

Artificial intelligence might sound like science fiction, but for builders and contractors, it's rapidly becoming an essential tool reshaping how we construct homes and manage projects. In this eye-opening episode, General Contractor Donnie Blanchard and host Eric Smith demystify AI in construction, showing how it's already transforming job sites across America.From project planning that creates comprehensive schedules in minutes instead of weeks to autonomous equipment that prevents costly errors, we explore the practical applications that make AI valuable rather than threatening. Imagine drones conducting aerial surveys in hours instead of the months traditional methods would require, or design software generating dozens of custom home options based on your specific requirements.As Donnie explains, "The key word is instantaneous. You can put your information in there and it will see that house from start to finish in less than a minute." We discuss how AI integrates with everything from documentation management to multi-language communication on diverse job sites, all while acknowledging where human expertise remains irreplaceable.Perhaps most surprisingly, as AI disrupts other industries, construction might benefit from an influx of tech-skilled workers seeking new career paths. "In my world, people crab all the time about not finding good people," Donnie notes, suggesting that displaced tech workers could find fulfilling careers bringing AI expertise to building trades.Whether you're a contractor looking to stay competitive or a homeowner curious about how your next building project might leverage these technologies, this conversation offers valuable insights without the technical jargon. As one contractor's wife aptly described it, think of AI as "glorified spellcheck" – it takes what we know and just makes it work faster for us.Check out thecarolinacontractor.com for more resources on incorporating AI into your building projects and to submit your own questions through our Ask The Contractor feature.

Holmes discusses his career path, which unexpectedly pivoted from biology and medical school after being mentored by an entrepreneur in the import business. This experience ignited his entrepreneurial spirit and laid the foundation for his future. He recounts the genesis of Teton, born from a "to-don't" list of business practices he observed and wanted to avoid.    Holmes explains how Teton initially operated with a lean, home-based model, shipping directly to retailers before establishing domestic warehousing to address inventory fluctuations. He highlights Teton's early entry and success on Amazon, attributing it to a strategy of overbuilding quality products that exceed customer expectations, leading to overwhelmingly positive reviews.  Holmes also shares Teton's philosophy of giving back by donating gear to underserved communities to promote healthy living and outdoor experiences, stemming from his own initial negative experiences with poor-quality camping gear as a child. He offers advice to aspiring entrepreneurs, emphasizing the power of "no," the importance of focusing on mastery before diversification, and the critical step of discovering one's core values.

After having been on their podcast twice last year, it seemed only fitting that I started gathering the crew of Fine Beats and Cheeses to come on to mine. The first one who took the plunge is Lynne Streeter Childress. We kick things off by talking about TV Mysteries. We cover a lot of the spectrum - from Columbo, Matlock, and Murder, She Wrote to newer shows like Elsbeth, Poker Face, and Matlock (there's a new one!) Lynne talks about how these shows, "old white people solving crimes", attracted her to them, her memories of them, and what keeps her coming back for more.  Then, we get to talk about Building Better People Productions. BBP Productions uses theater to encourage empathy, kindness, and other social-emotional skills for kids and their adults through shows, classes, and workshops. Lynne talks about how she started BBPP, what you can expect from what she and her team do, and where you can find them! Lastly, we talk about the podcast, Fine Beats and Cheeses. Lynne makes up one third of the Fine Beats and Cheeses team, alongside her twin sister Leslie, and Sam, the producer.

Being the boss isn't about power trips—it's about leaving your jerk card at the door. Turns out, surviving the workplace often comes down to one simple rule: don't be an asshole. Kim Scott and Amy Sandler sit down with Stanford's Bob Sutton, author of The No Asshole Rule and The Friction Project, to talk about how real leadership means treating people like people, not just cogs in a machine. Bob gets straight to the point about why toxic behavior kills productivity, how organizational “friction” can be both helpful and harmful, and what it takes to build teams that fight fair and thrive together. They also tackle why efficient isn't always effective, how to spot—and stop—assholes before they do lasting damage, and why the best bosses aren't afraid to show up with both candor and care. As Kim puts it, sometimes it's better to have a hole than an asshole. Whether you're leading a team or just trying to survive one, this conversation is your reminder that treating people with decency is never optional—and if you're stuck choosing between keeping an asshole or leaving a hole, always go with the hole.
