The week before Christmas has a way of exposing how the year really went. Deadlines either slow down or pile up, calendars get messy, and the pressure to "wrap everything up" shows up at the same time you're trying to enjoy the season. In this Pre-Christmas episode of Building Better Developers, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche keep it practical: looking back on the year, calling out what worked (and what didn't), and sharing why a year-end reset for developers is the best way to prepare for a better new year. Why a Year-End Reset for Developers Matters A year-end reset for developers isn't just taking a few days off. It's stepping back long enough to see the patterns you've been living in: where you made progress, where you got stuck, and where you've been running on fumes. This episode is about doing that reflection without guilt—and using it to set yourself up for momentum, rather than burnout. A year-end reset for developers is how you stop repeating the same year with a new calendar. The Good, the Bad, and the Real: Looking Back on the Year Rob kicks things off with a simple reflection: one good thing and one bad thing from the year. The good news is that the business made it through another year. That matters more than people like to admit. Survival means you kept moving, you adapted, and you didn't shut the doors. He also highlights a significant win: spending more time working on the business, rather than just being inside it. That includes improving systems, making changes, and investing in the foundation that supports growth. The bad is honest too: the company didn't grow as much as he wanted. Some goals didn't land. Still, even that can be useful—because it creates space to strengthen the core instead of rushing to scale. A year-end reset for developers starts with one question—what did you build that will help you next year? Micro Goals: How a Year-End Reset for Developers Turns Into Progress One of the biggest themes in this episode is that progress doesn't require dramatic change. Rob leans into incremental improvement—the small steps that keep forward motion alive when life gets busy. He talks about regularly touching key areas of the business: rebuilding and redesigning parts of the brand, creating internal tools, and moving toward more custom systems to reduce dependency on licenses and patchwork solutions. It's a steady approach: a little time each week, consistently, until the results show up. He also points out that networking and marketing may not be fun for everyone, but doing them consistently builds relationships—and those relationships often become valuable in ways you can't predict. Micro goals are the engine of a year-end reset for developers—small steps, repeated, create big change. When You're Split Across Stacks, the Reset Becomes Essential Michael talks about something many devs feel: context switching is expensive. This year, he has had two major projects running in two different technology worlds—Django/Python/Apache on one side and Java/Spring/AWS/Redis on the other. Even when you enjoy the work, the mental shift between stacks adds friction. That's why a year-end reset for developers needs to include something most of us skip: rest. Not "watch a screen while thinking about work" rest—real rest. Rest Is Not a Suggestion: The Core of a Year-End Reset for Developers Michael shares what he's been trying to implement more seriously: turning off distractions, stepping away from screens, and scheduling real breaks. Michael took a couple of days off over Thanksgiving and felt a clear difference. Because the truth is, there's a point where "powering through" stops working. You can still finish tasks, but it takes ten times the effort. Your mind gets foggy. Your focus disappears. Then you start mistaking exhaustion for a productivity problem. So the recommendation is simple: schedule rest like it's a requirement. Take a walk. Read a book. Get away from devices. Let your eyes rest. Get out into your community. Look at holiday events, concerts, or just go see Christmas lights. The goal is to reconnect with life outside your backlog. The fastest way to improve your output is often a year-end reset for developers—rest first, then refocus. Boundaries Make You Better: Deadlines, Routines, and Quitting Time Rob adds an important point: structure helps. Having a "quit time" creates a boundary that forces smarter choices. He's found that shrinking the to-do list and accepting "it'll be there tomorrow" can actually increase productivity. We've preached this for years, and it still holds: once you push past a certain number of hours each week, you're not producing more—you're just working longer. A year-end reset for developers includes rebuilding boundaries that protect your focus. He also shares something worth repeating: everyone needs a way to disconnect. Exercise, cooking, a hobby, a walk—whatever it is, find it. If you don't have it, go discover it. Closing Thoughts: Enjoy the Season and Start Fresh This episode wraps with a simple holiday message: enjoy the time you have. Spend it with family and friends. Take a break. Indulge a little. Get out of the house. Recharge. Then when the new year hits, you'll be ready to set goals that actually stick—because you'll be thinking clearly and moving on purpose. A year-end reset for developers isn't a luxury. It's how you finish the year with gratitude—and start the next one with momentum.

Developer Relations wirkt von außen oft wie eine Bühne, ein Reisekoffer und ein paar Sticker am Messestand. Aber was, wenn genau diese Rolle der stärkste Hebel ist, um dein Produkt besser zu machen, deine Tech-Community ernsthaft aufzubauen und Entwickler:innen wirklich erfolgreich zu machen?In dieser Episode nehmen wir Developer Relations auseinander, ganz ohne Marketing-Buzzword-Bingo. Zu Gast ist Philipp Krenn, Head of Developer Relations bei Elastic. Philipp bringt nicht nur jahrelange DevRel-Praxis mit, sondern auch Community-DNA, von Viennadb-Meetups bis Papers We Love, plus Open-Source-Erfahrung rund um Google Summer of Code und das Elastic-Ökosystem.Wir klären, was DevRel eigentlich ist, wo die Grenze zu Developer Marketing verläuft und warum der wichtigste Unterschied oft die Zwei-Wege-Kommunikation ist: raus in die Community und zurück ins Produktteam. Wir sprechen über den Alltag von Developer Advocates, Konferenzen, Content, Community Support auf Discourse, Reddit, Stack Overflow und Slack und wie man Feedback so sammelt, dass es in Roadmaps landet. Dazu kommt die große Frage: Influencer oder nicht? Und warum der Personenkult für Firmen gefährlich werden kann.Außerdem geht es um Open Source, Meetups, Tech Community, Networking, KPIs ohne falsche Anreize, den DevRel-Hype-Zyklus rund um AI und welche Skills du brauchst, wenn du selbst in Developer Relations einsteigen willst.Am Ende weißt du nicht nur, ob DevRel zu dir passt, sondern auch, wie du als Entwickler:in DevRel wirklich nutzen kannst, ohne nur Socken mitzunehmen.Bonus: Wenn jemand mit Laptop und kaputter Query kommt, ist das für Philipp kein Problem, sondern der Wunschzustand.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Michael #1: Has the cost of building software just dropped 90%? by Martin Alderson Agentic coding tools are collapsing “implementation time,” so the cost curve of shipping software may be shifting sharply Recent programming advancements haven't been that great of a true benefit: Cloud, TDD, microservices, complex frontends, Kubernetes, etc. Agentic AI's big savings are not just code generation, but coordination overhead reduction (fewer handoffs, fewer meetings, fewer blocks). Thinking, product clarity, and domain decisions stay hard, while typing and scaffolding get cheap. Is it the end of software dev? Not really, see Jevons paradox: when production gets cheaper, total demand can rise rather than spending simply falling. (Historically: the efficiency of coal use led to the increased consumption of coal) Pushes back on “only good for greenfield” by arguing agents also help with legacy code comprehension and bug-fixing. I 100% agree. #Legacy code for the win. Brian #2: More on Deprecation Warnings How are people ignoring them? yep, it's right in the Python docs: -W ignore::DeprecationWarning Don't do that! Perhaps the docs should give the example of emitting them only once -W once::::DeprecationWarning See also -X dev mode , which sets -W default and some other runtime checks Don't use warn, use the @warnings.deprecated decorator instead Thanks John Hagen for pointing this out Emits a warning It's understood by type checkers, so editors visually warn you You can pass in your own custom UserWarning with category mypy also has a command line option and setting for this --enable-error-code deprecated or in [tool.mypy] enable_error_code = ["deprecated"] My recommendation Use @deprecated with your own custom warning and test with pytest -W error Michael #3: How FOSS Won and Why It Matters by Thomas Depierre Companies are not cheap, companies optimize cost control. They do this by making purchasing slow and painful. FOSS is/was a major unlock hack to skip procurement, legal, etc. Example is months to start using a paid “Add to calendar” widget! It “works both ways”: the same bypass lowers the barrier for maintainers too, no need for a legal entity, lawyers, liability insurance, or sales motion. Proposals that “fix FOSS” by reintroducing supply-chain style controls (he name-checks SBOMs and mandated processes) risk being rejected or gamed, because they restore the very friction FOSS sidesteps. Brian #4: Should I be looking for a GitHub alternative? Pricing changes for GitHub Actions The self-hosted runner pricing change caused a kerfuffle. It's has been postponed But… if you were to look around, maybe pay attention to These 4 GitHub alternatives are just as good—or better Codeburg, BitBucket, GitLab, Gitea And a new-ish entry, Tangled Extras Brian: End of year sale for The Complete pytest Course Use code XMAS2025 for 50% off before Dec 31 Writing work on Lean TDD book on hold for holidays Will pick up again in January Michael: PyCharm has better Ruff support now out of the box, via Daniel Molnar This is from the release notes of 2025.3: "PyCharm 2025.3 expands its LSP integration with support for Ruff, ty, Pyright, and Pyrefly.” If you check out the LSP section it will land you on this page and you can go to Ruff.

In this episode of The One Shot Movement Podcast, host Craig Schulze sits down with former world top-50 golfer Matthew Goggin at his family home in Hobart, Tasmania. Matthew reflects on a professional career that spanned Europe and the US PGA Tour, sharing lessons from competing at the highest level of golf, playing alongside legends like Tom Watson, and witnessing Tiger Woods' era of dominance firsthand.
What does it really mean to support developers in a world where the tools are getting smarter, the expectations are higher, and the human side of technology is easier to forget? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Frédéric Harper, Senior Developer Relations Manager at TinyMCE, for a thoughtful conversation about what it takes to serve developer communities with credibility, empathy, and long-term intent. With more than twenty years in the tech industry, Fred's career spans hands-on web development, open source advocacy, and senior DevRel roles at companies including Microsoft, Mozilla, Fitbit, and npm. That journey gives him a rare perspective on how developer needs have evolved, and where companies still get it wrong. We explore how starting out as a full-time developer shaped Fred's approach to advocacy, grounding his work in real-world frustration rather than abstract messaging. He reflects on earning trust during challenging periods, including advocating for open source during an era when some communities viewed large tech companies with deep skepticism. Along the way, Fred shares how studying Buddhist philosophy has influenced how he shows up for developers today, helping him keep ego in check and focus on service rather than status. The conversation also lifts the curtain on rich text editing, a capability most users take for granted but one that hides deep technical complexity. Fred explains why building a modern editing experience involves far more than formatting text, touching on collaboration, accessibility, security, and the growing expectations around AI-assisted workflows. It is a reminder that some of the most familiar parts of the web are also among the hardest to build well. We then turn to developer relations itself, a role that is often misunderstood or measured through the wrong lens. Fred shares why DevRel should never be treated as a short-term sales function, how trust and community take time, and why authenticity matters more than volume. From open source responsibility to personal branding for developers, including lessons from his book published with Apress, Fred offers grounded advice on visibility, communication, and staying human in an increasingly automated industry. As the episode closes, we reflect on burnout, boundaries, and inclusion, and why healthier communities lead to better products. For anyone building developer tools, managing technical communities, or trying to grow a career without losing themselves in the process, this conversation leaves a simple question hanging in the air: how do we build technology that supports people without forgetting the people behind the code?

Top Stories for December 18th Publish Date: December 18th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, December 18th and Happy birthday to Keith Richards I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Arizona developer building 300-plus apartments in Peachtree Corners' Technology Park First buildings underway at Sugarloaf Crest in Lawrenceville GGC celebrates future nurses during pinning ceremony Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS Hiring-Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 1: Arizona developer building 300-plus apartments in Peachtree Corners' Technology Park Technology Park Atlanta, a hub for Fortune 500 companies and tech innovators, is about to get a residential twist. Soon, it won’t just be a place to work—it’ll be home for hundreds. Alliance Residential Company, the Arizona-based developer behind Broadstone Peachtree Corners, has snagged 10.7 acres in the park to build Broadstone Innovation, a 326-unit apartment community set to open in spring 2027. Think sleek, modern living: a salt sauna, red-light therapy pods, a resort-style pool, EV chargers, and even a food truck zone. STORY 2: First buildings underway at Sugarloaf Crest in Lawrenceville Parkland Residential has kicked off vertical construction at Sugarloaf Crest, a new build-to-rent community in Gwinnett County. What’s that mean? Townhomes—67 of them—are going up on 5.2 acres, complete with a big central green space. Located on Sugarloaf Parkway, right next to Richards Middle and Cedar Hill Elementary, these two- and three-bedroom homes are designed for modern living: open layouts, sleek kitchens, walk-in closets, and even washers and dryers included. The three-bedroom units? They’ve got lofts and nearly 2,000 square feet of space. STORY 3: GGC celebrates future nurses during pinning ceremony In a room buzzing with pride and emotion, 39 nursing students at Georgia Gwinnett College celebrated their pinning ceremony—a moment that marks the leap from student to nurse. “Y’all, it’s been two years!” joked Merick Sanogo, the class speaker, earning laughs and cheers. His classmates surprised him with a pineapple, a nod to his quirky tradition of gifting one on every birthday. The ceremony, steeped in tradition, included the lighting of the Nightingale Lamp and the Nurse Pledge. For Prudence Donald, an international student from Tanzania, it was a dream realized. “If you can dream it, you can achieve it,” she said.

We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG- DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Freight rail line from coast to northwest Georgia reports record traffic Georgia’s freight rail line from the Port of Savannah to Murray County just hit a record: nearly 4,000 containers moved in November, a 35% jump from last year. Seven CSX trains a week now roll through the Appalachian Regional Port near Chatsworth, cutting truck traffic—and emissions—in metro Atlanta. Opened in 2018, the inland port is fueling growth in northwest Georgia. A UGA study found it added 5,600 jobs in Dalton, Rome, and beyond over two years. And there’s more to come: the $127 million Blue Ridge Connector, opening next spring, promises to expand rail capacity even further. STORY 5: GGC's Devontre Chaney, Brasen James Earn Continental Athletic Conference Awards Georgia Gwinnett College juniors Devontre Chaney and Brasen James just snagged Continental Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors after leading the Grizzlies to a big road win. Chaney? He was unstoppable—15 points, 15 boards, and eight assists. Oh, and he went 9-for-10 at the line. That’s his seventh double-double this season. The guy’s averaging 15.9 points and 10.2 rebounds. James locked it down defensively, holding his matchup to just six points (16 below average) while adding 14 of his own. FALCONS: As the Falcons limp toward the end of a rough 2025 season, the big question looms: will Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot keep their jobs? Atlanta’s 5-9 record doesn’t inspire much confidence, even after Thursday’s wild 29-28 comeback win over Tampa Bay. Sure, it was fun—rallying from 14 down in the fourth quarter—but in the grand scheme? It’s meaningless. The playoffs are out of reach, even in the laughable NFC South. Despite a 13-18 record, failed coaching hires, and some head-scratching moves (what was that with Ike Hilliard?), Morris has the locker room behind him. Bijan Robinson, for one, is all in. Owner Arthur Blank will have a tough call to make. Morris says it’s about building for next year, but will he get the chance? Three games remain—Arizona, the Rams, and the Saints. If the Falcons finish strong, maybe Morris gets another shot. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats We’ll have closing comments after this Break 3: Ingles Markets 10 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

How much value do your developers actually get to deliver in a typical week, and how much of their time is quietly lost to meetings, context hunting, and process drag? I'm joined by Phil Heijkoop, Global Practice Head of Developer Experience at Valiantys, for a conversation that cuts through the hype surrounding AI and asks a harder question about why so many engineering teams still struggle to see meaningful returns. Phil argues that most organizations are only unlocking a small fraction of a developer's true contribution, not because of a lack of talent, but because process drag slowly squeezes out deep, focused work. AI, he explains, does not fix this by default. Without the right foundations in place, it simply accelerates the wrong work at scale. We explore the long shadow cast by the "move fast and break things" mindset and why that philosophy becomes risky inside regulated, enterprise environments where resilience and trust matter more than speed alone. Phil shares what he sees when organizations chase shiny new tooling while ignoring technical debt, unclear standards, and fragile workflows. From protecting uninterrupted time for deep work to automating manual friction points and setting shared guardrails, he outlines how teams can realistically unlock three to five times more output before AI even enters the picture. Only then, he says, does AI act as a multiplier rather than a source of chaos. The conversation also digs into developer experience as a business lever, not a perk, and why leadership clarity, cultural trust, and consistent standards matter as much as tooling choices. We discuss the growing risks in the software supply chain, the sustainability of open source dependencies, and what recent high-profile retirements signal for enterprise teams that depend on them. If AI is accelerating your organization in the wrong direction, what foundational changes would you need to make today to ensure it amplifies value instead of friction, and how honest are you willing to be about what is really slowing your teams down?

In this episode, Matt is joined by Laura Tacho, CTO at DX — one of the leading voices in developer experience research and tooling. Together, they unpack how AI is really affecting software development teams, why developer experience has a “marketing problem,” and why organizational friction — not technology — is the biggest productivity killer.If you've been wondering whether AI is living up to the hype in engineering teams, this conversation will give you the data, the reality, and the leadership takeaways you can act on today.Key Discussion Points[00:48] – What “Developer Experience” Really Means[02:55] – The Real Sources of Developer Friction[03:44] – Core Developer Experience Problems (Pre- and Post-AI)[05:46] – Clarity as a Competitive Advantage[07:25] – The Mistake of “Shit Shielding”[08:18] – How AI Raises the Stakes for Product Thinking[10:00] – The 10x Developer Myth's Real Origin[11:30] – Measuring Developer Experience with the DX Index[14:00] – The Role of Leadership in Removing FrictionResources & Links DX – Research and tools for improving developer experience: https://getdx.com/Developer Experience Index https://getdx.com/dxi-reportingSubscribe to the Product Driven Newsletter: https://productdriven.com/newsletterWhat Smart CTOs Are Doing Differently With Offshore Teams in 2025: https://hirefullscale.com/offshore-hiring-guide
This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to outcomesrocket.com AI security is no longer optional; it's the foundation that determines whether innovation in healthcare will thrive or fail. In this episode, Steve Wilson, Chief AI & Product Officer for Exabeam and author, discusses the hidden vulnerabilities inside modern AI systems, why traditional software assumptions break down, and how healthcare must rethink safety, trust, and security from the ground up. He explains the risks of prompt injection and indirect prompt injection, highlights the fragile nature of AI “intuition,” and compares securing AI to training unpredictable employees rather than testing deterministic code. Steve also explores issues such as supply chain integrity, output filtering, trust boundaries, and the growing need for continuous evaluation rather than one-time testing. Finally, he shares stories from his early career at Sun Microsystems, Java's early days, startup lessons from the 90s, and how modern AI agents are reshaping cybersecurity operations. Tune in and learn how today's most advanced AI systems can be both powerful and dangerously gullible, and what it takes to secure them! Resources Connect with and follow Steve Wilson on LinkedIn.

Today, we are continuing our series, entitled Developer Chats - hearing from the large scale system builders themselves.In this episode, we are talking with Petr Petrenko, Senior PHP Backend Engineer at Bumble. Petr will take us through his developer journey, in working on large scale backends, managing the tension between stability and innovation, and designing systems to interact with culturally different economies.QuestionsYou've worked on large-scale backends that serve millions of users. At what point do systems start to outgrow the teams that built them?At some point, every mature backend reaches a stage where rewriting is no longer realistic. How do you recognize when a system has crossed that line, and what's the right way to handle it?There's always this tension between stability and innovation. How do you decide when a system needs refactoring versus when you just need to live with the technical debt?Let's talk about the human side of legacy systems — what have you learned about culture, documentation, and knowledge transfer that keeps old systems alive and reliable?You've also built and maintained complex payment systems for global users. What's something most engineers underestimate about cross-border transactions?When you're designing systems that deal with different currencies, laws, and tax regulations, how do you balance the technical with the ethical — for example, user privacy or data sovereignty?For engineers listening who want to build something durable — not just fast — what advice would you give about writing code that will still make sense years from now?One of your most impressive projects is a high-performance image-matching system you built yourself, capable of scanning tens of millions of images with sub-second results. Can you walk us through the moment you realized you needed to redesign the system — and what engineering choices made that level of performance possible?You've also worked on billing systems and fraud mitigation at scale. Was there ever a moment when you had to choose between a technically “clean” solution and a solution that better protected users or the business? How did you make that call?SponsorsIncogniNordProtectVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

Everyone keeps asking the same question: Is hotel development slowing down? The global numbers say something very different — and far more nuanced. I checked in with Bruce Ford of Lodging Econometrics for a worldwide pipeline update that cuts through assumptions and looks at what's really happening across regions, segments, and timelines. On #NoVacancyNews, Bruce explains why room counts remain historically high, why developers deliberately push openings into later years, and why renovations and conversions now matter as much as ground-up construction. This conversation focuses less on hype and more on how capital actually behaves when markets tighten. A big thanks to Actabl — Actabl gives you the power to profit. Visit Actabl.com.

Eric Crutchfield is the founder of Crutchfield Customs, which specializes in modern high-end home building, 5 years ago after he got released from a 7.5 year prison sentence. Crutchfield Customs builds homes from the dirt up and sells them for $2 Million - $3 Million each. They literally build the Dopest Modern Homes in Dallas. Eric's story is inspiring to say the least. Most people that go to prison for as long as Eric did, come out the gates and they're back to their old self that got them in prison in the first place. Two years into his prison sentence, Eric picked up a personal development book in the library that changed his life forever. In a span of just 5 years since he got out, he's accomplished more than what most people accomplish in their entire 30+ years in their career. Connect with Eric Crutchfield!

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
For years, building interactive widgets in Python notebooks meant wrestling with toolchains, platform quirks, and a mountain of JavaScript machinery. Most developers took one look and backed away slowly. Trevor Manz decided that barrier did not need to exist. His idea was simple: give Python users just enough JavaScript to unlock the web's interactivity, without dragging along the rest of the web ecosystem. That idea became anywidget, and it is quickly becoming the quiet connective tissue of modern interactive computing. Today we dig into how it works, why it has taken off, and how it might change the way we explore data.
