The AI boom has created an energy problem no one quite planned for. Every new data center needs power now - not in three years when the grid connection finally arrives. Developers are skipping the queue, installing on-site generation at a scale that would have seemed extraordinary five years ago.But speed to power isn't the only pressure. Data center operators are also staring down net zero commitments, sustainability departments that want decarbonisation, and an energy trilemma of cost, carbon, and resilience.In this episode Alejandro is joined by Alex Marshall, Group Business Development and Marketing Director at Clarke Energy. Alex explains why gas engines have become the bridging technology of choice for hyperscale data centers, what a 450 MW peaking station outside London actually looks like, and whether the engineering department and the sustainability team will ever agree.You can watch or listen to new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.Transmission is a Modo Energy production.

Brian #3: Learning to program in the AI age Jose Blanca “I teach a couple of introductory Python courses and I've been thinking about which advice to give to my students, that are studying how to program for the first time. I have collected my ideas in these blog posts” Why learning to program is as useful as ever, even with powerful AI tools available. How to use AI as a tutor rather than a shortcut, and why practice remains the key to real understanding.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
You're adding type hints to your Python code, your editor is happy, autocomplete is working great. But then you switch tools and suddenly there are red squiggles everywhere. Who decides what a float annotation actually means? Or whether passing None where an int is expected should be an error? It turns out there's a five-person council dedicated to exactly these questions -- and two brand-new Rust-based type checkers are raising the bar. On this episode, I sit down with three members of the Python Typing Council -- Jelle Zijlstra, Rebecca Chen, and Carl Meyer -- to learn how the type system is governed, where the spec and the type checkers agree and disagree, and get the council's official advice on how much typing is just enough.

Interview with Nick Smart, Director & CEO of ValOre MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/valore-metals-tsxvvo-platinum-palladium-project-advances-to-economic-study-9203Recording date: 4th March 2026ValOre Metals is at a defining moment in its evolution from exploration company to project developer. The company's flagship asset, the Pedra Branca PGE project in Ceará state, Brazil, hosts a 2.2 million ounce inferred resource at 1.08 grams per tonne, a resource of genuine scale in a metal category that faces structural supply constraints and growing strategic demand. For the first time, ValOre is now putting the economic framework around that resource through a comprehensive PEA programme targeted for publication by year-end 2025.The project's most distinctive feature is its development approach to the shallow, weathered upper ore body. Rather than applying conventional flotation which performs poorly on oxidised material, ValOre is developing a bioleaching process in partnership with the University of Cape Town's Department of Chemical Engineering. This technique, in which microorganisms are used to extract metals from ore, is industrially proven in copper and increasingly used in refractory gold, but has not previously been applied to a PGE deposit. Phase 1 lab-scale trials have delivered metal recoveries consistently in the high 70s percentage range, and the company has secured exclusive global rights to the jointly developed intellectual property.The implications are significant. The weathered zone accounts for roughly one-third of the total resource ounce count and sits at surface, meaning it can be mined simply and cheaply. A low-cost processing route applied to near-surface material creates the possibility of a viable early-stage operation that generates revenue and validates the process without requiring the capital commitment of a full-scale mine build. Under Brazilian mining law, a trial mining permit enables exactly this kind of phased approach, allowing the company to construct a demonstration plant targeting 10,000 to 15,000 ounces of platinum and palladium per year as a precursor to industrial-scale production of 150,000 to 200,000 ounces annually.The PEA, with a budget of approximately $4 million, is the bridge between the current exploration narrative and an investment-grade development story. It will address mining method, processing economics, capital and operating costs, and route to market for both the weathered and fresh sulphide ore bodies. Engineering consultancy Lycopodium is leading the technical work. Until the PEA is published, investors have lacked a valuation framework for Pedra Branca. Publication changes that and represents a credible re-rating catalyst.Management has taken additional steps to sharpen the investment case. The divestiture of legacy Hatchet uranium properties to Future Fuels removes a non-core distraction and concentrates the company entirely on PGE development. CEO Nick Smart brings direct in-country experience, having spent approximately six years building the Barro Alto nickel mine in Brazil for Anglo American. Brazil itself is actively positioning as a destination for critical minerals investment, with strong government and industry representation at PDAC 2026 underscoring the macro tailwind.The near-term catalysts are clear: bioleaching column test results, PEA publication, and trial mining permit application progress. For investors willing to engage with early-stage development risk, ValOre offers a large resource, proprietary technology, and a credible pathway to production in a jurisdiction that is increasingly attractive to Western capital.View ValOre Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/valore-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Join us live: Our next live podcast, "Access Louisville: The State of Dining Out," is set for 4 p.m. April 21 at 500 West Jefferson. Three local chefs are coming on: Noam Bilitzer, of MeeshMeesh, Brittany Kelly of North of Bourbon and Lawrence Weeks of Murray's Creole Pub. We'll talk about issues facing the industry, including food costs, changing neighborhood dynamics and more. Tickets are available here.New apartment and single family home developments around town top this week's Access Louisville podcast. We start off talking about plans to renovate the Hubbuch & Co. Architecture building at 320-324 W. Main Sts. into 14 apartment units. Developers for the project include Lee Weyland, partner at CORE Real Estate Partners, Dean Wilkinson, president of Wilkinson Builders, and Bobby Bailey, founder of Louisville Geek.After that, we chat about plans for new apartments at 11501 Schlatter Road, which is the former site of Valor Traditional Academy. Six permits were filed detailing the construction of five apartment buildings and one clubhouse building at the site. The Valor building looks like a castle, which of course gets us joking around about this actual castle being listed for sale in Charlestown, Indiana.We also talk about a new 61-home development near Downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana and plans for an AirBnB development in Downtown Louisville, called the Colt Club.After a break, we chat about restaurant news, including Papa John's plans to close 300 underperforming locations around the country. We talk about some new bars around Louisville Slugger Field — that gets us on a tangent about speakeasies. And we wrap up the show with a chat about Bristol Bar & Grille, which is closing its Highlands location after nearly 50 years. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. You can follow it on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, which are linked above. You can also listen in the player above.

Jorge Sanchez, founder of Fargo Construction, has spent more than two decades developing new construction multi-unit buildings across Chicago, helping reshape neighborhoods like Pilsen. His journey began as a young boy who left home in Mexico, eventually making his way to Chicago and starting in paving and construction. After the 2009 real estate crash forced him to reinvent his business, Jorge pivoted into development and turned adversity into opportunity. Today his paving company operates across multiple states while his construction business continues breaking ground on projects throughout Chicago — a testament to the resilience and vision behind the immigrant mindset. 0.00: Going through the Cycles in Real Estate as a Developer 5.00: Leaving home in Mexico at ten years old 10.00: Why the idea of "retirement" doesn't appeal to Jorge 15.00: The long-term play of being committed to an area 21.00: Why you need to give real estate time 34.00: The two sides of immigration and ICE protests 45.00: Why tax strategies in real estate are so important 52.00: The best way to get into New Construction Development 57.00: Expanding your business to massive paving projects around the country 1.04.00: Jorge's neighborhood to watch (Fuller Park) 1.10.00: Challenges to building based on labor shortages 1.12.00: Why the future is 3D Printing and robot's building 1.18.00: Why you must always move with the economy and the changing times Check out the latest episode here: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enter-the-lionheart/id1554904704 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4tD7VvMUvnOgChoNYShbcI

In this episode, Nathan Wrigley talks with Ben Pines about founder-led marketing, particularly in the WordPress and SaaS spaces. Ben explains how traditional marketing tactics like SEO and paid ads are less effective due to AI-generated content, and advocates for a personal, trust-building approach where founders consistently share authentic insights. He describes how he helps founders develop a marketing system with minimal time commitment, just 1-2 hours a week, focused on genuine business sense and value, not just features. The discussion also touches on the importance of making marketing feel human and credible. Go listen...
Most developers believe their biggest career challenges are technical. They're usually wrong. The real blockers tend to be invisible — habits, assumptions, and internal narratives that quietly control decisions, communication, and confidence. In this episode of the Building Better Developers Podcast, we talk with coach Kim Miller-Hershon about why talented developers get stuck and how a developer mindset shift creates real forward motion. Progress doesn't start when you learn a new framework. It starts when you change how you think. About Kim Miller-Hershon Kim Miller-Hershon is an international business coach, corporate trainer, and speaker who helps leaders and entrepreneurs get unstuck by thinking differently and taking action faster. She works with executives and business owners on essential leadership skills, including communication, management, and time management—always with a focus on authenticity. Kim also hosts the Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom podcast, where clichés are challenged, and fresh thinking takes center stage. Follow Kim on Instagram, LinkedIn, and her website. The Developer Mindset Shift Starts With Seeing Your Patterns Many career frustrations repeat themselves: the same conflicts, the same hesitation to lead, the same communication breakdowns. That's not bad luck — it's a loop. We all carry internal stories about who we are and what we're capable of. Until you recognize those stories, you unconsciously act them out again and again. The moment you notice the pattern, you gain the ability to choose differently. The Awareness Rule You can't move around an obstacle you refuse to see. Coaching isn't about digging through your past — it's about identifying the behavior you're repeating today and deciding what to do next. Forward motion starts with awareness. Changes How You View Selling Many developers avoid self-promotion because it feels dishonest or pushy. But that discomfort comes from framing it incorrectly. You may dislike selling — but you enjoy buying. Think about the last time someone helped you choose the right tool, product, or service. That interaction didn't feel manipulative. It felt helpful. That's the difference. Reframing Sales Selling isn't convincing people to want something. It's helping the right person solve the right problem. When you focus on value instead of yourself, self-promotion stops feeling uncomfortable and starts feeling professional. The Developer Mindset Shift That Fixes Communication One of the most common workplace misunderstandings looks like this: "I need you to do XYZ." "Got it." Later — ABC is delivered. Both people believe communication happened. It didn't. The fix is surprisingly simple. The Repeat-Back Technique Don't ask: Do you understand? Ask: Tell me what you heard. Until both sides say it and hear it, agreement doesn't exist — only assumptions. Clear communication is less about talking and more about confirmation. The Developer Mindset Shift From Taking Work to Choosing Work Early in a career, you accept every opportunity available. That's normal — survival requires it. Growth requires a different behavior: saying no. The wrong project, wrong role, or wrong client can stall your progress longer than having no work at all. A developer mindset shift means understanding that movement and progress are not the same thing. Career Filter The goal isn't more work. The goal is the right work. Clarity about what you do — and who you help — eventually attracts better opportunities automatically. Why a Developer Mindset Shift Beats the Overnight Success Myth Tech culture celebrates sudden success stories. A tiny idea becomes massive overnight. Those cases exist — but they are rare. Most careers grow through iteration: testing, adjusting, and gradually aligning strengths with interests. The real goal isn't escaping where you are. It's intentionally moving toward something better. Forward motion is direction plus consistency. Next Steps You don't get unstuck by waiting for motivation. You get unstuck by changing behavior — even slightly. Start with small actions: - Notice a repeating pattern - Reframe one uncomfortable activity - Clarify one conversation Forward motion rarely comes from a giant leap. It comes from choosing a better next step. This week, try one simple action: Ask someone to repeat back what they heard. You might be surprised how much progress starts with getting unstuck and making one small change. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

Today, we are continuing our series, entitled Developer Chats - hearing from the large scale system builders themselves.In this episode, we are talking with Oleksandr Piekhota, Principal Software Engineer at Teaching Strategies. Oleksandr helps to show us at what point of scale platform approaches are required, when to run experiments and when to stop, and perhaps more importantly - engineering ownership beyond the code.QuestionsYou've moved from hands-on engineering into principal and technical leadership roles, working on architecture and platforms.At what point did you realize your work was no longer about individual features, but about the system as a wholeAcross several projects, growth didn't break functionality — it exposed architectural limits.Can you recall a moment when it became clear that shipping more features wouldn't solve the problem, and a platform approach was required?You've designed and supported APIs end-to-end, from architecture to real customers. How do you distinguish between an API that simply works and one that can truly support business scale?Internal systems like invoicing and HR workflows began as automation, but evolved into real products.What tells you that an internal tool is worth developing seriously rather than treating as a temporary workaround?In R&D, you explored CI/CD automation, server-less, and infrastructure experiments — not all reached production. How do you decide when an experiment should continue, and when it's no longer worth the engineering cost?You've hired teams, set standards, and shaped long-term technical direction. At what point does an engineer stop being a contributor and start owning business-level outcomes?You contributed to open-source tools that later became part of your company's infrastructure. Why do you see open source contributions as part of serious engineering work rather than a side activity?Looking across your projects, how do you now recognize a truly mature engineering system? Is it code quality, process, or how teams respond when things go wrong?If we look five to seven years into the future, which architectural assumptions we treat as “standard” today are most likely to turn out to be naive or limiting?SponsorsIncogniLinkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/oleksandr-piekhota-b675ba53/https://teachingstrategies.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/codestory/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

#340: The smartest ops people are often the most likely to resist new technology -- and they're not wrong. If you don't change anything, nothing breaks, and nobody blames you. That's a completely rational choice. It's also the one that guarantees you fall behind. Bare metal to VMs, VMs to cloud, cloud to Kubernetes -- every time, the teams that played it safe ended up scrambling to catch up two years later. The safe bet isn't safe. It just feels that way. It gets worse when you look at where the tools come from. Kubernetes? Built by developers. Terraform? Developers. Containers? Developers. The tools ops teams depend on were made by a different tribe. So the pushback isn't really about whether the tech is ready or whether the risk is too high. It's about identity. 'Not my people' is a harder objection to overcome than 'not ready yet,' because no amount of documentation or proof-of-concepts answers it. And about proof -- everyone wants it before they'll move. But the proof already exists. It's the tool someone on your team has been running in shadow IT for a year without any official support. If it survived that long on its own, that's stronger evidence than any pilot program. That's your roadmap. And the way in is small chunks, not grand plans. Move one service. Learn something. Adjust. Repeat. AI in ops follows the exact same pattern. A tool that gets you 50% of the way there for free means you can focus your expertise on the other 50%. That's a win. But the people waiting for AI to be perfect before they'll touch it? They're making the same mistake as the teams that waited for perfect proof before migrating to the cloud. Different decade, same trap.

So, there are dire wolves living on Earth again. They were “de-extincted” by Colossal Biosciences. And today on the show their Chief Science Officer joins me to share her view on why the de-extinction matters — not as a science project, but because it will help solve problems that threaten every species on earth, including us. Beth Shapiro is the Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, and she helped to bring back the dire wolf or, as others call it, a gray wolf with 20 genetic edits. There is a fierce debate about what de-extinction even means, and we discuss that, but whatever you call them, there are now three big wolves living in an undisclosed location and they wouldn't be there if not for the DNA that Beth and her team edited. Colossal is also working to bring back the wooly mammoth, the Tasmanian tiger, the dodo and other animals that have long been extinct. Why?

Key Takeaways:Became a developer in crisis: Meg started as a high‑end residential project manager and was forced to become a developer when a partner burned through about $1M on unfeasible plans; she took over to protect investors.Sees value others miss: She identified under‑loved Nashville locations (riverfront, Gulch‑adjacent) early and was willing to buy where locals thought she was “overpaying,” which later proved very successful.Capital without a rich network: With no wealthy friends/family, she raised ~$5–6M for her first deal by cold‑calling and using CCIM directories and BiggerPockets—showing the importance of research, persistence, and real phone calls.Sunk costs and pivots: Scrapping expensive concrete plans, switching to cheaper stick‑over‑podium, cutting ~25% of the budget, and waiving her own developer fee turned a near‑disaster into a profitable condo project.Cycles and business model shift: The frothy early‑2022 boom (big flips, many employees) was followed by a painful downturn when rates spiked and equity dried up. That pushed her toward leaner teams, fewer project types, and more long‑term, cash‑flowing/hold strategies.Niching and design differentiation: Her “big unlock” is focusing on niches (short‑term‑rentable condos/flexible living, select industrial) and distinct but cost‑disciplined design (landscaping, thoughtful finishes, no trendy white‑box commodity).Leadership lessons: The hardest part was people and overhead, not buildings—layoffs, departures, and restructuring. Out of that came a small, high‑caliber, focused team model.Current focus – Modernist: She's now doubling down on flexible living condos (Modernist) that owners can use personally and also rent out for income—an institutional version of how she once Airbnb'd her own apartment to fund her start

ACORE, the power and renewables industry group, is this week hosting its annual Policy Forum in Washinton DC. It's an event where industry leaders and experts discuss how the changing landscape of US energy policy is shaping infrastructure investment, the growth of electricity supply, and the affordability of power. Host Ed Crooks is recording two special episodes from the forum. This first show is focused on the US government's attempts to build up a domestic supply chain for renewables and other energy equipment. Ed speaks with Dr Sarah Kapnick, who is the global head of Climate Advisory at JP Morgan, and Peter Toomey, the Chief Development Officer at Cypress Creek Renewables, which is one of the country's leading energy developers. They discuss how supply chains and infrastructure for renewable energy are evolving. Demand for electricity is booming, but supply chains are under pressure. Volatile government support creates uncertainty for developers and suppliers. The “one big beautiful bill” (OB3) last year, which scrapped tax credits for wind and solar power, created “cliffs” in support for projects as the deadlines for eligibility are passed. That creates challenges for equipment manufacturers thinking about investing in new production capacity in the US. The Trump administration, like the Biden administration before it, faces a tension between its objectives of building up US manufacturing, accelerating US electricity supply growth, and making consumers' power bills more affordable. The ultimate question is whether the US can build resilient, competitive, domestic energy supply chains while balancing affordability, energy security, and surging demand from AI.
