AI agents can already write code, build websites, and manage workflows ... but they still can't pay for anything on their own. That bottleneck is about to disappear.In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier, we sit down with Jim Nguyen, former PayPal exec and cofounder/CEO of InFlow, a new AI-native payments platform launching from stealth. InFlow wants to give AI agents the ability to onboard, pay, and get paid inside the flow of work, without redirects, forms, or a human typing in credit card numbers.We talk about: • Why payments — not intelligence — are the missing link for AI agents • How agents become a new kind of customer • What guardrails and policies keep agents from spending all your money • Why enterprises will need HR for agents, budgets for agents, and compliance systems for agents • The future of agent marketplaces, headless ecommerce, and machine-speed commerce • How InFlow plans to become the PayPal of agentic systemsIf AI agents eventually hire, fire, transact, and manage entire workflows, someone has to give them wallets. This episode explores who does it, how it works, and what it means for the economy.

Imagine facing a problem you can't name, something that feels bigger than any bug you've ever had to fix. How do you debug your own mind when you don't even know what's wrong? Burke Holland's story starts with a college party and a bad trip that leaves a deeper mark than he expects. Sleep gets harder. Fear creeps in. His life starts shrinking. School falls apart, friends drift away, and he ends up back at home trying to understand what's happening to him. He looks for structure in the Coast Guard. Later he discovers computers and realizes he might have found the thing he's meant to do. But the shadow that followed him out of that party doesn't care about career paths. It shows up during college, during work, during marriage, during parenthood. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes it knocks him completely flat. This is the story of a developer who looks effortless on stage but spent years fighting something no one else could see, and what changed once he finally understood what he was up against.   What do you do when the hardest problem in your life isn't in your code, but in yourself?

See also: elf: Advent of Code CLI helper for Python Michael #2: Django 6 is coming Expected December 2025 Django 6.0 supports Python 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14 Built-in support for the Content Security Policy (CSP) standard is now available, making it easier to protect web applications against content injection attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS). The Django Template Language now supports template partials, making it easier to encapsulate and reuse small named fragments within a template file. Django now includes a built-in Tasks framework for running code outside the HTTP request–response cycle. This enables offloading work, such as sending emails or processing data, to background workers. Email handling in Django now uses Python's modern email API, introduced in Python 3.6. This API, centered around the email.message.EmailMessage class Brian #3: Advanced, Overlooked Python Typing get_args, TypeGuard, TypeIs, and more goodies Michael #4: codespell Learned from this PR for the Talk Python book. Fix common misspellings in text files. It's designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code (backslash escapes are skipped), but it can be used with other files as well. It does not check for word membership in a complete dictionary, but instead looks for a set of common misspellings. Therefore it should catch errors like "adn", but it will not catch "adnasdfasdf". It shouldn't generate false-positives when you use a niche term it doesn't know about. Extras Brian: Is mkdocs maintained?

It was the main product from Gauge which is a Y combinator startup that pivoted to something unrelated and abandoned tach. However, https://github.com/DetachHead forked it but now got access to the main repo and has committed to maintaining it. ruff analyze graph is fully independent of tach - we actually started to look into alternatives for tach when it became unmaintained and then found ruff analyze graph. For our use case, with just a bit of manipulation on top of ruff analyze graph we replaced our use of deptry (which was slower - and I try to be careful depending on one-man projects).

In this special Cloud Wars report, Bob Evans sits down with Michael Ameling, President and Chief Product Officer of SAP Business Technology Platform, for a deep dive into how SAP is helping customers navigate the fast-moving AI Era. Ameling and Evans discuss how SAP's Business Data Cloud, partnerships with Snowflake and Databricks, HANA Cloud innovations, and new AI-powered tools and agents are helping SAP evolve from an applications powerhouse into a data-and-AI-driven business platform for the next generation.SAP's AI Data FutureThe Big Themes:SAP HANA Cloud Becomes an AI-Optimized Database: SAP HANA Cloud is evolving into “the database AI was looking for." As a multi-model system supporting spatial, graph, vector, and document storage, HANA Cloud enables AI workloads to run more efficiently and contextually. Recent additions, like vector engines and Knowledge Graph capabilities, give customers powerful tools for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), contextual reasoning, and advanced analytics.Developers Are 'The AI Revolution': Developers aren't observing the AI Revolution, they are the revolution. With modern AI tools, developers can innovate faster, solve bigger problems, and directly influence business outcomes. SAP is investing heavily in meeting developers where they are by enhancing IDEs, building business-aware development tools, and providing context-rich assets such as APIs, business objects, and process insights. AI acts as a teammate, not a replacement.SAP: An Applications and a Data Company: SAP must be both an applications and a data company. Customer value emerges when applications, data, and AI converge seamlessly. SAP's decades of industry expertise give it unparalleled business context, which becomes even more powerful when embedded into AI agents and data platforms. With more than 34,000 SAP HANA Cloud customers and rapidly expanding AI adoption, SAP is positioning itself as the platform where business process knowledge meets modern AI capability.The Big Quote: " . . what we need to understand that AI is our teammate. It's like asking your best friend who has a lot of knowledge, but you can ask multiple friends at the same time. Not everything is always right, but you can ask questions, you can continuously improve. If we understand that pattern, we understand that AI helps us to solve much bigger problems as a developer, and then, of course, having much more impact on real business."More from Michael Ameling and SAP:Connect with Michael Ameling on LinkedIn, or get more insights from SAP TechEd.  Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Way out in the Canadian wilderness — six hours from the nearest city, little to no cell reception, surrounded by mossy forests and granite — lies a world-class bouldering destination. Secluded, quiet, and breathtakingly beautiful, The Nooks has quickly become one of the most talked-about new climbing areas in North America. With incredible rock quality and a massive spread of problems from V0 to V13, it's the kind of place that feels unreal the first time you see it.The Nooks was first discovered in 2018 by Michigan climber Brendan Baars. Since then, he has spent nearly every climbable weekend out there — cleaning hundreds of boulders, building trails, collaborating with the local community, and documenting the entire process alongside his close friend DJ Viernes. Brendan's vision and commitment have transformed a patch of remote forest into a full-blown destination area visited by hundreds of climbers a year — something that almost never happens on this scale. Today, I'm sitting down with both Brendan and DJ to talk about how it all came to be.In our conversation, we dive into the history of The Nooks, why Brendan fell in love with bouldering, and what it actually takes to develop an area of this size. We break down his first ascent of a new V13 called Deadliness, and get a deeper understanding of how The Nooks has shaped both Brendan's and DJ's lives over the last seven years.We also talk at length about DJ's new feature-length film The Developer, which documents the area and the process behind building it from the ground up. It's beautifully shot, full of heart, and we use it as a reference point throughout this conversation.If you're interested in watching The Developer, DJ has created an exclusive 20% discount for the first 50 listeners to check out the film, making it just $4 to rent or $16 to purchase. Click the link in the show notes and use code “TCM20” at checkout. I don't expect those codes to last long.Did you know this podcast is also on YouTube? I spend an enormous amount of time and money making sure the video and audio quality are as professional as possible — and this time, DJ even set up a full studio on his end so we could capture his side of the conversation at the highest quality.

Amber argues that the biggest problem facing new developers isn't coding ability…It's lack of real experience, and an over-reliance on feel-good advice that doesn't translate into hireability.We dig into:Why contributing to real, medium-complexity open-source projects is the fastest path to becoming job-readyWhy most juniors aren't actually hireable yet — and how to fix thatHow toxic positivity on LinkedIn is misleading beginnersWhy “passion” means nothing if it isn't backed by proof-of-workThe kinds of projects and habits that actually impress hiring managersThe mindset shift every junior dev must make to survive today's marketWhat Amber wishes she knew as a brand-new developerHow to stand out when 30,000 other bootcamp grads are competing for the same jobsIf you're early in your software career — or mentoring someone who is — this conversation will challenge your assumptions, push you out of the fluff zone, and give you a clear, actionable roadmap to becoming the type of junior developer who actually gets hired.Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeOpen Source Projects & Communities:Dance-Chives Prototype (Amber's breakdancing app project): https://github.com/BenTheChi/dance-chives-prototypeBuild In Public community: https://buildinpublic.com/Gridiron Survivor project: https://github.com/LetsGetTechnical/gridiron-survivorMentorship:ADPList (free mentorship sessions): https://adplist.org/Connect With Amber:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amber-adamson-a33a3860/Send us a textShameless Plugs Free 5 day email course to go from HTML to AI Got a question you want answered on the pod?

Insights from Avi Aflalo, CEO of Simplex Mapping SolutionsIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Avi Aflalo, CEO and Co-Founder of Simplex Mapping Solutions Ltd., to explore how advanced 3D immersive mapping is reshaping real estate development, design, planning, and sales. Drawing from his background as a marathon runner, Avi explains how endurance, preparation, and vision fuel innovation—and how Simplex 3D is helping developers, architects, municipalities, and buyers make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions. This article breaks down the key themes, insights, and practical takeaways from their discussion.How Simplex 3D Is Reimagining the Built WorldAvi begins by sharing how marathon running prepared him for entrepreneurship—highlighting the importance of preparation, consistency, and long-term focus. That same mindset drives the vision behind Simplex 3D, a platform offering hyper-realistic, data-rich, immersive environments where users can explore entire neighborhoods before construction begins. Avi explains how Simplex 3D combines visual accuracy with powerful decision-support tools—like pricing insights, zoning analytics, air rights evaluation, mortgage estimates, and sunlight analysis—giving developers, architects, and municipalities a single source of truth for planning.He also details why 3D visualization is becoming essential in real estate, noting that traditional spreadsheets, 2D renderings, and static floor plans fail to communicate the full picture. Immersive 3D creates emotional engagement for buyers, reduces uncertainty, enhances design accuracy, and speeds up collaboration across planning teams and municipal stakeholders. With over 150 municipalities using the platform in Israel, Simplex 3D is already proving how unified visual systems dramatically accelerate approvals and improve transparency.Avi discusses real-world applications across the entire real estate lifecycle—from acquisition and planning to architectural design and sales. Developers can make faster land decisions, architects can design within real-world contexts, city officials can evaluate proposals collaboratively, and brokers can use 3D models to close multimillion-dollar deals on the spot by instantly showing future views or development impacts. He also shares Simplex 3D's rapid global expansion into the U.S. and Europe and outlines how professionals can get started with demos, consultations, and custom-built models through www.simplex3d.com.About Avi AflaloAvi Aflalo is the CEO and Co-Founder of Simplex Mapping Solutions Ltd.

** I'd be so grateful if you'd take five minutes and answer our annual survey. It'll help me make the show better for you!  **Hey folks, it's Thanksgiving weekend here in the US and it's the time of year when we think about what we're grateful for, so today I'm re-sharing some words from perhaps the most grateful person I've ever had on the show. Kelsey Hightower is a legendary developer. And he has an incredible story. He went from sleeping in his car to becoming a pioneer in the Kubernetes world, a distinguished engineer at Google, and then... he retired. At the age of 42. Because he wanted to have more impact on the world than he thought he could have by advancing up the career ladder. So here are 15 minutes of my original interview with him, because some of the things he said — not about tech, but about humanity, gratitude, and prioritizing what matters — have really stuck with me.Here's the full interview, originally released in July 2024. We cover a lot, including how he became so good at live demos, why emotion is the key to great software — and storytelling — and how it's those “boring innovations” and mindset shifts you need to make as a technologist that will take you from “hello, world” to “hello, revenue.” ---Featured voices:Kelsey Hightower: "Retired, not tired" former distinguished engineer at Google and Kubernetes PioneerMe (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

In this episode of the Option Alpha podcast, Kirk sits down with his business partner and fellow founder, Jack Slocum, to share the full story behind Jack's journey as a trader, developer, and entrepreneur. Jack talks about how he first turned to options trading to generate extra income for his family, how his early experiences “crashed and burned,” and why he has spent years since then learning as much as possible about markets and risk. Tune in now! How Jack First Got Into Options Trading:Jack says his options journey started as a father looking to make extra income to support his family.From Tech Builder to Trading:Before options, Jack's primary background was in technology and building companies.He created a JavaScript framework originally called EXTJS, later part of Sencha, which allowed developers to build full web applications in the browser.The framework became widely adopted, with usage by 8 out of the top 10 financial institutions and over 70% of Fortune 500 companies.Jack emphasizes that the community was the strength of that project: developers shared what they were building and provided the core toolkit with their own “extensions.”Faith, Mindset, and Staying Inspired Through Drawdowns:He credits his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for his determination, passion, and success.He says this gives him a resilient state he can tap into no matter what is happening.Kirk shares a mindset he learned from Jack: instead of saying “we can't,” ask “how could we?”Jack connects this to his belief that all things are possible for someone who believes.He says reframing problems this way opens the door to solutions instead of shutting them down.Key Trading Principles Jack Follows Now:Jack says the most important principle is never to enter a trade unless you are willing to take the maximum loss.In the past, he entered trades assuming he could always get out before max loss, which led to huge losses.He rarely uses stop losses as a guarantee because during big moves, spreads widen, and fills can be much worse than planned.An example of his opening range breakout bot, which sometimes risks $925 to make $75 and makes him uneasy.He prefers to run a mix of strategies, including both higher-probability, smaller payoff setups and lower-probability, larger-payoff setups.Jack says every trade should have a clear, logical reason behind it, and not be fear based.Using His Own Platform to Design the Future of Automation:At his old company, he would build a real app with new features before a release to find issues.Now, he trades daily on Option Alpha and uses that experience to see what needs to be added or improved.Watch the full interview here
