Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
You love building web apps with Python, and HTMX got you excited about the hypermedia approach -- let the server drive the HTML, skip the JavaScript build step, keep things simple. But then you hit that last 10%: You need Alpine.js for interactivity, your state gets out of sync, and suddenly you're juggling two unrelated libraries that weren't designed to work together. What if there was a single 11-kilobyte framework that gave you everything HTMX and Alpine do, and more, with real-time updates, multiplayer collaboration out of the box, and performance so fast you're actually bottlenecked by the monitor's refresh rate? That's Datastar. On this episode, I sit down with its creator Delaney Gillilan, core maintainer Ben Croker, and Datastar convert Chris May to explore how this backend-driven, server-sent-events-first framework is changing the way full-stack developers think about the modern web.

Affordable housing is one of the biggest buzzwords in real estate — but can it actually be profitable? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with developer Evan Holladay to explain how affordable housing deals really work. With more than 1,200 units developed, Evan breaks down tax credits, incentives, and why more developers are pivoting in this direction. They discuss what "affordable" truly means, how the numbers pencil, and why new housing reforms could create major opportunity in 2026. If you're an investor looking for both impact and returns, this episode connects the dots.

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates and reviews the iOS app WikiTrip, a location-based audio guide that pulls curated information from Wikipedia and reads it aloud while the listener is moving, such as during a road trip, bus ride, or walk. He explains how the app works, including its reliance on location services and an active cellular connection, and notes that it is designed primarily for use on the go rather than while stationary. He walks through the main interface, describes how the app discovers nearby points of interest, and discusses key settings such as voice selection, minimum distance traveled, and minimum time between articles. He also highlights the History feature, which stores previously played items and allows the user to open the associated Wikipedia pages, and explains that the app avoids repeating content unless the history is cleared. Finally, he shares examples of points of interest the app surfaced during a trip to Branson, Missouri, illustrating the type of information WikiTrip can provide during travel.Host: Thomas DomvilleLength: 0:20:47App InformationName: WikiTrip – Travel Audio GuideDeveloper: Björn SchefzykCategory: TravelPlatforms: iOSPrice: FreeApp Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wikitrip-travel-audio-guide/id1438931523Timestamps00:05 Intro00:10 Host introduction ...TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Thomas: Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. In this podcast, I'm going to do a walkthrough and a review of an iOS app called Wikitrip. W-I-K-I-T-R-I-P. So this past weekend, Mrs. Mouse and I went on a road trip, and we were heading down to southern Missouri into the Ozark Mountains. And specific, we spent some time in Branson, Missouri itself. And while we were doing that, and while we were on the road trip, somebody on AppleVis asked, what can you do during a road trip? What, you know, obviously we can listen to books and things, but are there any apps for entertainment for things that you can do in the car? Well, there's so much you can do, but Wikitrip is one of the AppleVis contributors out there. So thank you out there for suggesting Wikitrip. What is Wikitrip? Wikitrip is an app that you can take on the road with you. So it's not just for the road or a car ride. It can be if you're on a bus. or you're walking, so essentially any time that you're moving. And what it will do, based on the location and X number of seconds, it's going to pull from the Wikipedia on your location something interesting. So some pretty top picks that other people found that the Wikipedia information is interesting. It's going to read to you. So it's got a built-in open AI voices. There's about a dozen voices you can pick from. And it's going to give you just about any information you ever would want to know. So I'm going to show you an example of what it sounds like when I'm just sitting here in the podcast room. And then I'm…

Regaining clarity at work is one of the biggest challenges developers face as responsibilities grow, distractions multiply, and expectations rise. Burnout rarely appears overnight. More often, it creeps in quietly—through constant context switching, mental fatigue, and the feeling that you're busy all day but not making real progress. For developers and technical leaders, clarity isn't a "nice to have." It's what allows you to make good decisions, focus deeply, and enjoy the work you're doing. Without it, even small tasks feel heavier than they should. About Andrew Hinkelman Andrew Hinkelman is a certified executive coach and former Chief Technology Officer who works with tech founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders to strengthen their leadership and people skills. With over 25 years of corporate experience, including 8 years as a CTO, Andrew understands firsthand the pressures technical leaders face as they move from hands-on execution to leading teams and organizations. His coaching focuses on helping leaders build trust, develop others, and stay strategic as responsibilities grow. Andrew's philosophy is simple: all professional development is personal improvement. After experiencing burnout in his own leadership journey—constantly stepping in to fix problems and being needed by everyone—he learned the value of trusting his team instead of controlling outcomes. Today, Andrew helps leaders avoid that same trap by building resilient teams, focusing on relationships, and creating environments where others can succeed. Follow Andrew on Instagram and LinkedIn. Why Regaining Clarity at Work Matters for Developers When regaining clarity at work starts to slip, the symptoms are subtle at first. Decisions take longer. You second-guess yourself more often. Work that once felt engaging starts to feel draining. This isn't a motivation problem. It's a clarity problem. Developers often push through this phase by working longer hours, assuming effort will fix it. In reality, the lack of clarity compounds the problem—leading to frustration, reduced quality, and eventually burnout. How Distractions Undermine Regaining Clarity at Work Modern work environments make regaining clarity at work especially difficult. Messages, emails, meetings, and notifications constantly pull attention away from focused thinking. Even well-intentioned tools can fragment your day into shallow work. The issue isn't that developers aren't capable of focus—it's that focus is constantly interrupted. Over time, this makes it harder to think clearly, prioritize effectively, or feel confident in decisions. The result is mental overload, not progress. Regaining Clarity at Work Through Better Daily Habits One of the most practical ways to regain clarity at work is by examining daily habits. Not in a rigid or extreme way, but by noticing patterns. What creates a good day? What leaves you feeling depleted? Sleep, movement, downtime, and boundaries play a much larger role in clarity than most developers expect. Clarity isn't created in moments of intensity—it's supported by consistency. Self-Discipline as a Foundation for Regaining Clarity at Work Self-discipline is often misunderstood as pushing harder. In reality, it's about protecting the habits that keep your energy stable. Waiting for weekends or vacations to reset burnout doesn't work if every weekday drains you. Regaining clarity at work means building routines that prevent depletion before it happens. Regaining Clarity at Work by Trusting Yourself When developers feel stuck, the instinct is often to search for more input—another article, another video, another framework. But more information rarely creates clarity. In many situations, you already know how to handle the challenge in front of you. Learning to pause, quiet your mind, and trust your experience can be more effective than consuming more advice. Regaining clarity at work often comes from removing noise, not adding insight. Regaining Clarity at Work with Allies and Peer Support Clarity is much easier to regain when you're not working in isolation. Talking through challenges with trusted peers helps break mental loops and introduce new perspectives. These allies don't need to be your manager. In fact, regaining clarity at work often comes faster when support comes from peers across teams or outside your organization—people who understand the context but aren't tied to the outcome. Expanding Beyond Your Manager to Regain Clarity at Work Strong peer relationships act as soundboards. They help you reality-check assumptions, think through decisions, and feel less alone in complex situations. Over time, these relationships become one of the most reliable ways to avoid burnout. Regaining Clarity at Work with Coaching and AI Tools Coaching and AI tools can both support regaining clarity at work, but they serve different roles. Some developers find value in AI prompts or structured reflection. Others need human conversation, body language, and shared experience. For many, a hybrid approach works best—using tools when they're helpful, and people when nuance, accountability, or emotional context matters. The goal isn't to replace connection, but to support clarity when it's needed most. Signs You're Losing Clarity at Work Constant distraction, overthinking, and decision fatigue Relying on weekends or time off as the only recovery strategy Simple Habits That Restore Clarity Daily actions that protect energy and focus Consistency over intensity when rebuilding clarity When to Use Coaching, AI, or Allies Choosing the right support for the situation Combining human insight with practical tools Conclusion Regaining clarity at work isn't about doing more—it's about doing what matters consistently. By protecting your energy, trusting yourself, and leaning on the right support, developers can avoid burnout and move forward with confidence. Take one small step this week toward regaining clarity at work, and start building habits that support sustainable, focused growth.

New York City is staring down the barrel of another self inflicted crisis and this time it is coming straight from City Hall. Mayor Mamdani is now pushing for higher taxes while simultaneously calling for a raid on the city’s so called rainy day fund. That fund exists for emergencies. Instead he wants to burn through it to prop up a failing fiscal vision built on bigger government and heavier burdens on the very people who keep the city alive. On this episode of Stinchfield, Grant exposes how this dangerous combination of tax hikes and reckless spending could accelerate the unraveling of New York’s already fragile real estate market. Property owners are squeezed. Developers are hesitating. Small landlords are being crushed. And when the cost of living skyrockets, it is not just billionaires who leave. It is police officers, firefighters, entrepreneurs, and families who simply cannot afford to stay. The result is predictable. As New York doubles down on policies that punish productivity, states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are preparing for another wave of Americans looking for freedom, affordability, and sanity. Real estate agents in those states are not worried about a slowdown. They are preparing for an influx of former New Yorkers who have had enough. Grant connects the dots between ideological governance and economic reality, explaining why policies rooted in redistribution and government expansion often hollow out the very tax base they rely on. When the middle class flees, the city does not get more equitable. It gets poorer, weaker, and more divided. This is not just about New York. It is a warning for every major city tempted to follow the same path. If you want to understand how quickly a financial capital can be pushed toward decline, you do not want to miss this conversation. https://TheMaverickSystem.comhttps://GrantLovesGold.comhttps://www.EnergizedHealth.com/Granthttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/Granthttps://Twc.Health/Grant Use code Grant for 10% offhttps://VRAInsider.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
At Davos this year, some of the biggest names in tech sent a clear signal. AI is no longer a novelty. It is no longer a proof-of-concept exercise. As Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind suggested, AI will shape more meaningful work. And Satya Nadella of Microsoft was even more direct. AI only matters if it improves real outcomes for people. So what does that look like inside the enterprise? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Andrew Boyagi, Customer CTO at Atlassian, to unpack how the conversation has shifted from experimentation to execution. Developers, in many ways, are the perfect lens for understanding this moment. Over the last two decades, their role has expanded far beyond writing code. They now own products, infrastructure, operations, and business outcomes. AI is simply the next chapter in that evolution. Andrew argues that AI will not replace engineers. It will raise expectations. As intelligent tools absorb repetitive work, the real value moves up the stack. System design. Architectural thinking. Reviewing and refining AI-generated output and orchestrating solutions that solve genuine business problems. And through it all, humans remain firmly in the loop. We also explore what this means for leadership, why mindset is starting to matter more than technical skill alone, how organizations can avoid layering AI on top of broken processes. And why the companies pulling ahead are treating AI as a strategic discipline, not a feature upgrade. This is a conversation grounded in reality. It speaks to product leaders, CTOs, CIOs, and anyone asking a simple but powerful question. If we are investing in AI, what are we actually getting back? And before we close, we look ahead to Team '26 and the themes Andrew and his team are already working on. If this year has been about proving value, what will the next chapter demand from enterprise leaders? As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Are you seeing proof of value in your organization yet, or are you still working through the pilot phase?
On the podcast, I talk with Michael and Mark about the boom in hardware-enabled subscriptions, why nothing worked until they stopped optimizing and started building a better product, and how they doubled their price to $79 even though the data said they could charge more.Top Takeaways:
In the 90's and early 00's you typically saw multiple (2 or more) entries into a series per decade. That meant you could really fall in love with a series, and it also meant you could overlook an entry that sucked. This is a story about DragonQuest. It's a story about Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Mario, Zelda. Basically all of the beloved franchises today. As development costs soar, development time does too, and that means you aren't getting as many games in a series per decade. There's pros and cons to that I guess, but one major con is that any single game that releases can tank a franchise, or company. Is there anyone who still has an output that looks like this? We think there is, and they are clearly doing something right.
In this episode, Mike and Tommy explore whether the traditional "Report Developer" role still exists in the age of AI and Microsoft Fabric. They discuss what skills organizations should actually be hiring for, how the role has evolved from pixel-perfect report building to semantic modeling and data architecture, and whether AI tools like Copilot are changing what we expect from BI professionals. The conversation challenges conventional hiring practices and offers practical guidance on future-proofing BI teams.Get in touch:Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.Visit PowerBI.tips: https://powerbi.tips/Watch the episodes live every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 730am CST on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/powerbitipsSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/230fp78XmHHRXTiYICRLVvSubscribe on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explicit-measures-podcast/id1568944083Check Out Community Jam: https://jam.powerbi.tipsFollow Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcarlo/Follow Tommy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommypuglia/
#338: Every company adding AI coding tools runs into the same wall. Developers produce more code, but features don't ship any faster. The bottleneck just slides downstream -- to QA, to security, to legal, to whoever comes next in the pipeline. And the team that got faster? They don't even realize the people upstream could be feeding them more work. Viktor's take: the fastest possible setup is one person carrying a feature from idea to production. Not one person doing everything alone -- a system designed so nobody waits. Tests run in CI. Deployments happen through Argo CD. Security scanning is automated. There's a real difference between wiring up a light switch and hiring a butler to flip it for you. None of this is new. The same thing happened with punch cards, client-server, cloud, Kubernetes. One group adopts the new thing, everyone else says it doesn't apply to them, and the market eventually forces their hand. Meanwhile, every team in every company says they'd love to change if only the rest of the organization would get on board. Every team says this. So who's actually blocked?

A long, quiet, deeply unsettling journey through Year Walk, a folklore‑rooted mystery that feels part ghost story, part documentary, part “did this really happen?” Blair Witch energy. This playthrough ended up spanning almost four hours because we deep dive into and read everything - including the Journal at the end and all of its entries. I'll be thinking about this game for a long time. The folklore, the symbols, the creatures, the journal entries… everything feels like it's pointing to something older, sadder, and more human than a typical horror story. And when you reach the researcher's notes at the end, the whole narrative reframes itself in a way that's genuinely tragic, shocking, and leads you into a rabbit-hole of wonder. If you like slow, atmospheric mysteries, Scandinavian folklore, or stories that blur the line between myth and memory, I think you'll enjoy settling into this one with me.

Henrik Werdelin is one of my favorite entrepreneurs. He's founded and incubated several unicorns, most notably BARK, the dog happiness company.Henrik himself is a pretty happy guy — an optimistic guy who likes to ask what could go right? — and on the day we recorded (a few months ago as I was squirreling away interviews for the podcast relaunch), he helped me see through some future of tech gloom I was feeling. I honestly can't even remember what Trump+tech hellscape we were living through that week, but I do remember that Henrik put me in a better mood. I think he'll do the same for you, no matter how you're feeling.

Michael shares insights on feature management, the critical role of feature flags in modern software delivery, and how to effectively market to developers. The conversation explores why "friends don't let friends build their own feature flag system," the evolving landscape of product-led growth, and how AI is reshaping go-to-market strategies for developer tools.Key Takeaways[5:27] - The Common Thread in Category Creation[7:17] - What is Feature Management?[11:56] - The Cost of Downtime[18:28] - The Race Car Analogy[19:59] - Marketing to Developers[24:18] - User vs. Buyer[30:30] - Easy to Try is Essential[35:30] - Organic Search is Declining[36:29] - AIO (AI Optimization)[40:26] - The PLG Myth[44:17] - The AI ShiftTweetable Quotes"The thing that makes product development and success in SaaS really easy is when you have a product that solves real problems in a market that's big enough.""Friends don't let friends build their own feature flag system. You're not writing your own version of Git—feature management is no different.""Feature flags are like brakes on a race car. They don't slow you down—they let you go faster by allowing you to take turns safely and accelerate out of them.""Marketing to developers is no more complicated than marketing to dentists. People are people—they respond to emotion, logic, and pain.""The biggest objection to feature flags is that people think it's gonna slow them down, when in fact it's all about speeding them up.""If you're doing go-to-market the same way you were doing it 12 months ago, you're probably doing it wrong. Now it's six months. Now it's three months."SaaS Leadership Lessons1. Market Size Trumps Perfect Execution Even with the best product and conversion rates, growth will plateau if your addressable market isn't large enough. Evaluate market size as rigorously as you evaluate product-market fit.2. Speed Requires Safety Mechanisms The fastest-moving teams aren't reckless—they've invested in systems (like feature flags) that allow them to ship confidently and recover instantly. Build your "brakes" before you try to accelerate.3. Know Your User vs. Your Buyer Developer tools require a dual strategy: serve the hands-on-keyboard users who will love (or hate) your product, while convincing budget holders of business value. Neglect either and you'll struggle.4. Friction is the Enemy of Adoption In developer tools, the ability to try your product without a sales conversation isn't optional—it's existential. Whether through open source, free trials, or freemium models, eliminate barriers to first value.5. Proprietary Data is Your AI Moat As AI reshapes discovery, the companies that win will be those with unique data sources that LLMs cite as authoritative. Think "Zillow for home prices" in your category.6. Adaptability is the New Competitive Advantage The pace of change has accelerated to the point where strategies have a 3-6 month shelf life. Build a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and rapid learning rather...

In this episode of the Everything Electric podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Tom Hurst, UK Country Director for Fastned, to pull back the curtain on the UK's rapid charging revolution. Tom explains why Fastned is moving beyond simple "parking bays with plugs" to build high-visibility, amenity-first charging hubs that keep you sheltered from the rain and your battery topped up at speeds of up to 400kW. They also dive into the "mammoth" joint venture with Places for London (TfL's property arm) and why legal contracts, not just grid power, are often the biggest hurdle to a seamless charging experience. 00:00 Welcome to Everything Electric 01:40 Who is Fastned?

I played the Book Smugglers demo today and discovered something important: I am absolutely terrible at smuggling. I dropped my precious contraband books all over the place, got caught on my second run, and still somehow had a wonderful time.Despite my questionable smuggler skills, the game's atmosphere completely won me over. The art is striking, the mood is rich and quiet, and the historical inspiration gives everything this grounded, human weight. It's a unique little experience — part stealth, part story, part love letter to the power of books.This playthrough is soft, cozy, and full of gentle commentary as I wander through the demo, admire the world, and try (with mixed success) to keep hold of my dang books.Developer: @FLUXOGAMESSTUDIO Thanks for sharing this quiet, bookish adventure with me.book smugglers, book smugglers demo, book smugglers gameplay, cozy narration, quiet gameplay, soft spoken gaming, cozy indie game, story rich indie, atmospheric indie game, narrative game, bookish games, historical indie game, cozy stealth game, stealth demo, relaxing gameplay, calm commentary, cozy lets play, indie game demo, unique art style, atmospheric art, cozy mystery game, gentle gameplay, slow paced gaming, relaxing narrator, soft commentary, book themed game, cozy gaming channel, quiet hangouts
A developer who worked on Highguard has discussed the "hate" he received after the free-to-play shooter debuted at December's The Game Awards, saying the game, and by extension its team, "turned into a joke from minute one, largely due to false assumptions about a million-dollar ad placement."
Affordability in Vancouver has improved by roughly 37% from its 2023 peak. Monthly mortgage payments on an average home have fallen by about $1,500, dropping from roughly $5,600 to $4,100. That's a material shift, bringing affordability back to early-2022 levels. Historically, when affordability sat here, transaction volumes were meaningfully higher. While payments remain well above pre-pandemic norms, the direction of travel matters—and for buyers watching the market closely, this is the most constructive affordability backdrop in years.But beneath that surface improvement, cracks are forming. Developers—arguably the most forward-looking participants in housing—are pulling back sharply. Land sales, an early indicator of future housing supply, have collapsed well below historical norms. When developers stop buying land, it's rarely about today's headlines; it's a judgment call on whether prices, financing, and demand will justify risk years down the road. The implication is uncomfortable: fewer projects today guarantees tighter supply later, particularly as population growth and confidence eventually normalize.Employment data adds another layer of complexity. Canada's labor market is cooling, but not in the way past downturns looked. Job losses are emerging in traditional sectors, yet unemployment hasn't spiked because the workforce itself is shrinking—driven by retirements and slower population growth. That structural shift matters. Slower labor growth caps wage growth, which in turn limits housing demand over the long run. At the same time, uneven job creation across provinces may quietly redirect housing and rental demand to where employment is strongest.On the rental front, the story is finally turning for tenants. Asking rents have fallen for more than a year and recently hit multi-year lows, with Vancouver among the steepest declines. Yet even here, the rate of decline is slowing—hinting that rental markets may be approaching stabilization.Governments, facing slowing activity, are stepping in with incentives. Programs like Nova Scotia's ultra-low down payment initiative underscore a key theme of the episode: these policies are less a sign of strength than a response to economic fragility. They don't solve affordability at its root; they increase leverage in an already indebted system.Add rising home insurance costs—driven by aging housing stock and extreme weather—and the cost pressures on ownership and rental housing continue to build, even as headline prices soften.The takeaway is clear: today's market is defined by contradictions. Affordability is improving, but demand remains hesitant. Supply is being quietly choked off. Costs are shifting rather than disappearing. And interest rates, once the dominant force, may now be the least volatile variable.This episode isn't about calling a top or a bottom. It's about understanding where the next pressure points are forming—and why the decisions being made today may shape Canada's housing landscape for the next decade. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Is AI conscious? Will it be someday? And should we be nice to it now... just in case?This FAFO Friday, Kwaku and I dive into the mind-bending world of machine consciousness.We cover a lot of ground, weaving from the different ways that Luke (co-dependent with R2) and Han (barking commands at C-3PO) treat their droids to whether Pascal's Wager informs whether we should believe in AI consciousness just in case they do come alive and have been keeping score. (Pascal figured it was the safe bet to believe in God, just in case; maybe we should do likewise?) That's from us knuckleheads, but we've also got a true expert on consciousness. This week I interviewed Daniel Hulme, one of the world's leading AI researchers. He's the Chief AI Officer at WPP, the CEO of Satalia (which WPP bought) and just founded and is CEO of Conscium, which is researching AI consciousness, efficiency (he thinks we're scaling wrong and LLM's are not the way), and building a platform to verify AI agents are safe. You'll hear the first five minutes of my interview with Daniel. Daniel was not surprised by Moltbook (the Reddit-style site that AI agents built for themselves). That's because he's been putting agents together (in a “primordial soup” as he put it) for decades to observe the wild and wonderful ways they behave and to see if they'd create intelligence.Daniel does not think today's agents are conscious, but can see a path to it. And he believes that a conscious superintellignece would be safer than a “zombie” one. But mostly he doesn't want machines to feel pain and suffer. Huh???My brain is still kind of broken from our hourlong chat, which I'm producing now and will be released in a few weeks. For now, enjoy this preview and more from Kwaku and me as we talk about what we expect from machines, whether we want to be one with them, and more…

Thank you to our sponsors! Figure Crypto Tax Girl Are bitcoiners underestimating the quantum threat to Bitcoin? That's the question Castle Island Ventures Partner Nic Carter has posed with some recent posts gauging the views of several leading Bitcoin developers on quantum computing. To help answer the question, Unchained reached out to Ethereum Foundation Researcher Justin Drake and Michigan University Professor Chris Peikert. In this episode, Justin and Chris, who is one of the foremost experts on lattice cryptography, break down the quantum computing threat to crypto and the potential timelines. Justin theorizes that Bitcoin developers may not be incentivized to talk about the quantum computing risk while still saying that a number of smart people are already taking it seriously and that may be enough. Conversely, Chris highlights the constraints that come with uncertainty around risks and timelines. Listen to find out what they conclude. Plus, could AI do crypto in before quantum computers?

Russ Miles joins the show to unpack why developer platforms fail and how to rethink platform engineering through the lens of flow of value rather than factory-style developer productivity metaphors. Russ explains why every organization already has an internal developer platform, and why treating it as platform as a product changes everything. The conversation explores cognitive load and cognitive burden, how to design around strong feedback loops, and why the OODA loop mindset helps teams make better decisions closer to development time. They discuss the risks of overloading pipelines and CI/CD systems, the tension between shipping fast and handling security vulnerabilities in a regulated environment, and how to “shift left” without simply dumping responsibility onto developers. Drawing on lessons from Rod Johnson, the Spring Framework, TDD, and modern software engineering as described by Dave Farley, Russ reframes platforms as systems that support experimentation through the scientific method. The episode also touches on AI assisted coding, developer focus, and how thoughtful developer experience and DX surveys can prevent burnout while improving value delivery.

Prabhleen Kaur: How AI Is Changing the Way Agile Teams Deliver Value Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "AI's output is not the final output—it's always the two eyes we have that will get us the best results." - Prabhleen Kaur Prabhleen brings a timely challenge to the coaching conversation: the impact of AI on teams and how Scrum Masters should navigate this transformation. She frames it as both a challenge and an opportunity—teams are now capable of delivering faster than consumers can absorb, fundamentally changing expectations and dynamics. Prabhleen has observed her teams evolve from uncertainty about AI to confidently leveraging it for practical benefits. Developers use AI for writing and understanding code, particularly helpful for onboarding new team members who need to comprehend existing codebases quickly. QA professionals find AI invaluable for generating test cases based on story and epic context already captured in JIRA. The next frontier? Agentic AI, where AI systems communicate with each other to produce better outputs. But Prabhleen offers an important caution: AI is learning from many conversations, not all of which are reliable. The human element—critical thinking and verification—remains essential. For Scrum Masters, this means facilitating conversations about how teams want to experiment with AI, exploring edge cases in testing that AI can help identify, and helping teams navigate the evolving landscape of possibilities while maintaining quality and judgment. Self-reflection Question: How are you helping your team explore AI as a tool for improvement while ensuring they maintain critical thinking about the outputs AI produces?

Growth may be booming across Georgia, yet getting new housing approved often feels like running an obstacle course designed by politics, not policy. Simon Bloom, founding partner of Bloom Parham LLP, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to pull back the curtain on the zoning battles shaping what gets built, where and at what cost. During this episode on “Unbridled Politics,” he will discuss the political and procedural challenges shaping zoning and land use in Georgia. Drawing on decades of experience representing builders and developers, he explains why projects often get caught in red tape, why build-to-rent (BTR) housing is targeted and how Georgia's fragmented local government contributes to inefficiency and higher housing costs. How Politics and Public Input Affect Development Bloom emphasized that zoning decisions in Georgia are driven less by technical merit than by politics: “If a politician or public official wants your project, it’s going to go forward,” said Bloom. “And if he or she doesn’t, it isn’t. The merits sometimes get lost in just a matter of pure politics.” Developers face a range of hurdles, from rezoning denials to conditional-use permits and administrative slowdowns. Routine actions, such as delaying final plats or withholding building permits, can derail projects entirely. Litigation is sometimes necessary, not as a first resort, but to ensure local governments follow proper procedures. Public opposition adds another layer of complexity. Organized neighborhood groups and homeowners now have unprecedented access to local meetings through streaming platforms and social media. While this transparency increases accountability, it can also make officials more cautious, further complicating development efforts. Why Build-to-Rent Projects Face Extra Hurdles Build-to-rent (BTR) projects face particular scrutiny, even as the demand for affordable rental housing continues to grow. “The cities and counties that say they need affordable housing are doing everything in their power to make it unaffordable and causing gentrification,” said Bloom. “They are driving the folks that they want to be living in their communities out into ‘the sticks.'” Part of the paradox lies in administrative inefficiencies and local mandates that increase cost and complexity. For example, some counties require side-entry garages in high-density developments—a design choice that increases lot sizes and, in turn, raises prices for buyers and renters. Add to that the need for detailed engineering studies, repeated public hearings and permit fees, and BTR builders and developers face substantial “chase costs” long before construction begins. Legislative solutions to streamline zoning and clarify local requirements have progressed slowly. Efforts to limit local control over architectural standards or to prevent bans on BTR have made modest gains. State lawmakers often consider input from local governments, which influences the pace and scope of reforms. Meanwhile, impact fees—sometimes adding thousands of dollars to individual projects—remain a factor that can increase costs and create differences across communities. On a larger scale, Bloom identifies Georgia's large number of local governments as a source of inefficiency. The state has 159 counties and 500 cities, each with separate planning departments, zoning boards and codes. This patchwork of rules forces engineers, lawyers and developers to navigate vastly different requirements across municipalities, slowing housing production and driving up costs. Navigating the Zoning Landscape Bloom encourages builders and developers to engage early with district commissioners or council members and maintain transparent communication with neighbors and planning staff. Understanding how “district-friendly” voting works, where council members often follow the lead of their district commissioner, can help projects move forward more efficiently. Bloom said, “Without your district commissioner championing your rezoning, your chances of success are much lower.” Tune in to the full episode to hear Simon Bloom discuss how politics and local regulations shape Georgia housing zoning and to learn what builders and developers can do to navigate these challenges.
