In this episode of The Mind Shift Podcast, Erwin and Aaron McManus take a hard look at the fine line between failed ideas and fraudulent schemes. From Tai Lopez's $112M SEC indictment to Elizabeth Holmes and the fall of Theranos, they explore how ambition can devolve into deception, and why proof of concept is critical in business, leadership, and communication. Along the way, they even break down the illusion behind Amazon's early wireless shopping system and what it teaches us about trust.The conversation then turns to the world of media and public discourse, sparked by Jimmy Kimmel's apology after his recent controversial remarks that led to his suspension and subsequent reinstatement. Was his apology on his show sincere, or just self-preservation? Erwin and Aaron dig into the language of apologies, the role of sincerity in public life, and what it reveals about our cultural climate. From there, they dive deep into censorship, free speech, and the hypocrisy of how different figures, like President Trump, are treated depending on political affiliation, unpacking the legal and cultural ripple effects of his battles with media companies.Finally, the episode broadens into questions of corruption, political polarization, and the role of education in shaping the next generation. Erwin argues that without free speech, truth and accountability crumble, while Aaron highlights how media bias continues to fuel division. Together they make the case for rebuilding trust, protecting free expression, and investing in education as the path toward a healthier, more hopeful future.--Love the episodes?

Hey everyone, Cody Rich here from The Rich Outdoors, and man, do I have a banger of an episode for you today! I sat down with my buddy Dillon Dietz, the mastermind behind "Elk Don't Exist," and we dove deep into his epic Montana archery bull story after 12 years of grinding. We're talking solo pack-outs in hailstorms, finally tagging out early, and how ditching the over-calling game changed everything. Dillon shares the highs and lows – from freezing in thunderstorms to that heart-pounding 30-yard shot on a funky five-by-clubby freak. We geek out on early-season tactics, why getting into the "nucleus" of elk chaos is key, and lessons from my own tough private land hunt where blind calling saved the day. If you're chasing your first bull or just love those raw, real hunting yarns that fire you up for September, this one's packed with tips, laughs, and motivation to keep pushing. Let's dive in! Sponsored by Stone Glacier Today's episode is brought to you by Stone Glacier. I've been hauling with their packs for years, and this season I'm running the new Avro 6400 – big enough for a 10-day backcountry grind but streamlined for day hunts too. Love the minimalist, lightweight design; I pack enough gear without the bag adding extra weight. From day packs to expedition beasts, they've got you covered. Head over to stoneglacier.com and gear up. Sponsored by Treer Tripods This episode is also brought to you by Treer Tripods. You need something solid for those fancy Maven optics – grab a Treer tripod and one of their panheads. My buddy Drew started this company, and his innovations are killer, with tons of new products dropping soon. My setup: Treer AD with the LP panhead – super lightweight, smooth, and handles big optics no problem. Add the bino clamp adapter for the full kit. Check 'em out at treer.com and use code TRO to save 10% off, plus snag a sweet setup. Great option if you're in the market for a lightweight elk hunting tripod! Show Notes 0:00 - Intro and Sponsors Kicking off with shoutouts to Stone Glacier and Treer Tripods, plus a quick hype on the episode's elk hunting vibes. 3:20 - Dillon's Early Tag-Out Blues Dillon shares the mixed feelings of tagging out after just six days, compared to last year's 35-day grind, and how he's itching to get back out. 9:45 - Hunting Mindset Shifts Discussing patience, ditching over-calling, and how focusing on glassing and finding elk first led to Dillon's success this season. 17:30 - The Hunt Breakdown: Day-by-Day Chaos Dillon recounts spotting elk, multiple close calls with a five-by-five, getting soaked in storms, and epic calf encounters that pulled bulls in. 26:15 - Early-Season Bull Dynamics Exploring why big bulls tolerate satellites early on, elk psychology, and how a giant 320-class bull judged reactions without spotting Dillon. 33:50 - The Kill Shot and Solo Pack-Out Dillon details the perfect blind setup, holding at full draw for a minute, nailing the bull at 30 yards, and shuttling meat in 80-degree heat amid a hailstorm. 41:20 - Cody's Private Land Lessons Cody shares his tough hunt on a ranch, emphasizing getting into the "nucleus" of elk activity, blind calling tactics, and why solo setups work. 48:40 - Blind Calling Strategies and Buglefests Breaking down setups for blind calling, firing up reluctant bulls, and how decoys and patience turn quiet mornings into action. 55:10 - Reflections and Future Hunts Wrapping up with takeaways on persistence, enjoying the process, and plans for rifle tags, backcountry trips, and more elk grinding. 1:02:00 - Outro and Plugs Dillon promotes his brand and podcast; final thoughts on believing in the hunt and tuning in next time. Key Takeaways Patience Over Pressure: Ditch over-calling and focus on glassing first – waiting for the right setup and going back to basics like soft cow-calf sequences can turn quiet elk into responsive ones, especially early season. Hunt the Nucleus: Get into the chaos of a herd or active group where satellites are easier to call in; chasing lone bulls is way harder than staying in the "party" where elk behavior creates opportunities. Learn from the Grind: It might take years (like Dillon's 12), but sticking to spots with consistent sign, adapting tactics mid-hunt, and enjoying the process without overthinking builds the skills for success – persistence pays off.

In this episode, Adam Butler is joined by Harley Bassman, Managing Partner at Simplify Asset Management, for a wide-ranging discussion on interest rate volatility, portfolio construction, and public policy. Bassman explains his creation of the MOVE Index before diving into strategies using long-dated options to create asymmetric payoffs. They also explore the systematic risks that challenge diversified portfolios during Fed policy inflection points. The conversation concludes with Bassman's strong case against the re-privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, detailing the potential negative consequences for the housing market.Topics Discussed• The creation and mechanics of the MOVE Index as a VIX for the bond market• Explaining complex financial derivatives by drawing analogies to fundamental physics concepts• Constructing highly asymmetric, long-term trades based on the shape of the yield curve• The failure of traditional diversification during major inflection points in Federal Reserve policy• The paradigm shift to passive investing flows overriding traditional market valuation metrics• A new trade idea involving a positive-carry call option on Treasury rates as a recession hedge• The evolution of portfolio tools like Return Stacking and derivative-based ETFs• Identifying U.S. immigration policy as the most significant and overlooked macroeconomic risk• The public policy argument against the re-privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

We review the Best Skis for the new 2026 winter season, covering the best piste skis, best all mountain skis and freeride skis. Host Iain Martin was joined by The Ski Podcast's equipment expert Al Morgan.  Tirol in Austria sponsors The Ski Podcast, which means that this winter we'll be able to find out more about some of the great destinations in Tirol, and how you can connect with the wonderful ‘feeling of life' there.  SHOW NOTES Iain and Al will be at the London Snow Show in October (3:00) Best Skis of 2026 means the best skis of winter 2025/26 (4:00) What are the different types of skis (4:15) How important is that figure for width under your foot? (7:45) What is meant by ‘side cut'? (10:00) What is a ‘rocker? (12:00) How long should your skis be? (15:15) Is sustainability still important in ski production? (18:45) The Ski Sustainability Forum is organised by POW, Atomic and FESI (21:00) When and where did testing take place? (22:15) SIGB is the Snowsport Industries of Great Britain (22:45) Most testing takes place at SIGB's annual ski test in La Clusaz (23:15) How much do bindings cost? (25:00) THE BEST PISTE SKIS OF WINTER 2026  K2 Blur 74 W (women) (26:30) £600 / 148cm-169cm Blur is K2's new piste ski range for winter 25/26. The 74W has a little lift through the front and back, is built around their aspen wood core and uses Flax with channels milled into it.  They only do this in this ski and the Blur 79W to enhance agility. It should also save a little weight, although the 74 is about performance and a perfect partner for advanced and expert female skiers shredding the groomers.   It has a 13.9m radius in the longest length and testers reported it as silky smooth, easy to ski yet snappy, with great boost turn-to-turn. It's super reactive underfoot, quick to pivot and rotate for short turns.  Nordica Dobermann Multipista DC FDT (29:00) £930 including binding, 160cm-185cm The Multipista is new for this season, focussed equally on fun and performance. It may look similar to the Steadfast skis in its outline, but there's a lot more going on than simply a curvy figure.  It has Dobermann in the name, which hints at this ski's powerful drive, and when you open the throttle you're rewarded by the bucketload!  The rise though the front and back, paired with the taper at each end, means you never feel like your locked into a turn. It can lay trenches on the groomers, but if you want to nip off the side, take on some slush or get a little airtime, it's as composed as you could ask for.   It's built around their Energy 2 Ti Double Core (DC) construction. An elastomer layer is sandwiched between two beech and poplar wood cores, beefed up by two layers of Titanal metal, one above the wood-elastomer sandwich and one below.  Even though Nordica states the ski as having a Full Camber Profile, it has a longer rise through the shovel and tail than a regular full camber ski. This rocker profile is part of the Multipista's magic, bringing a delightfully versatile nature. The tapered profile through the shovel and tail further adds to its performance across a range of conditions. The 74mm waist width, in all lengths, partners with their race on-piste shape underfoot for confidence-rocketing grip. This width is bang-on the money, with plenty of punch through the edge and enough float and stability to tackle a broad array of terrain and snow conditions. THE BEST ALL MOUNTAIN SKIS OF WINTER 2026 Völkl V.Werks 100(32:00) £1,750 flat, 170cm-186cm Völkl has taken all they've learnt from ski manufacturing and turned the dial up to eleven with this ski! The company was founded in 1923, and in honour of this they have made exactly 1923 of these skis, with a retail price of €1923.   This ski is see-through. If you place your hand behind the ski, when holding it up to the light, you can see where your hand is. It's quite spectacular. It also highlights the complex structure they've perfected for the fibre placement.  They combine carbon and natural flax fibres, which work in harmony with the superb 3D H-Woodcore. This is made of two enviro friendly FSC-certified poplar and beech cores, with a central reinforcement, and this all has a very noticeable and technical 3D shape.  The fibres, translucent layer and wood core allows the designers to transfer the movements and forces from the skier through the ski and to the edges, for a ridiculously intuitive control. You get a regular camber underfoot but enough rocker in the shovel and tail for a mega-versatile shape. Atomic Maven 88 CTI (Women) (35:00) £570 without bindings, 147cm-172cm   This ski is based around an ash and poplar wood core, boosted by the addition of carbon and Titanal. These laminates add greater damping and energy to the ski, whilst helping to keep the ski light.  The change of shape through the shovel, as we saw in the wider Maverick and Maven models last season, keeps this ski incredibly playful. This HRZN 3D Maverick/Maven tech sees the wood core extend right up to the very front of the ski, designed to improve stability and smoothness when charging hard.  These skis can certainly be skied fast, but the thing you notice most with all skis with HRZN tech is just how much it enhances the fun nature of the skis. They are not twin-tips, and have a directional shape, although the rise in the back means you can ski switch if you really want to. Atomic builds in a 15% rocker through the shovel and a 10% rocker at the back, with standard camber in the middle of the ski. Salomon Stance Pro 86(Unisex) (38:00) £640 flat, 151cm-185cm   Salomon's Stance range sees significant change, taking what were already great skis and making them industry leading.  It has a full poplar wood core, with the Powerflex Ti metal layer sitting full width underfoot and tapering out in front of and behind the binding. The metal edge is made thicker to aid grip and power, and will endure more services, therefore lasting longer. The base has a 50% recycled content. The profile delivers regular camber underfoot with a 15% rocker through the front and a milder 12% rocker at the rear. THE BEST FREERIDE SKIS OF WINTER 2026 (40:00) Head Kore 99 Ti W(Women) (40:30) £650 without bindings, 156cm-177cm   The Kore skis are redesigned for this season. This 99mm underfoot model has the same length options as the women's Kore 97 of last season, but otherwise it's a very different ski.  Where the men's new Kore skis use beech and karuba, the women's Kore models combine poplar with PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is a thermoplastic polyester polymer. Think of your favourite fleece, and the chances are it's made of the same material.  This is complimented by a layer of Titanal, using at least 40% recycled material, above and below the core, along with a Graphene layer between the metal and top of the core. They add a damping layer between the bottom metal layer and the edges of the ski, to further smoothen the ride.  Again, as in the men's, they add flax to the boundary of the topsheet to improve durability. Rocker front and back, with standard camber underfoot, gives the ski it's undeniable freeride profile.   Salomon QST 100(Unisex) (43:30) £570 without bindings, 148cm-188cm   New for this season in widths ranging from 92 through to 106, the 100 is an incredible freeride ski and was a hit with everyone at testing. It's a unisex model, offered in a choice of two colours.  The new QST's have full poplar wood cores with basalt and glass fibres, as well as Salomon's proven Cork Damplifier, where they inlay a cork and TPU border at the tip and tail to dampen vibrations. The 106 has a 22% rocker up front and 18% rocker in the tail. As you step down in width to 100 then 94, they reduce the rocker proportion by 1% at each end, for each drop in width.   FEEDBACK I enjoy all feedback about the show, so if you enjoyed this episode, or if you have any questions about skis we didn't cover, then please let us know by leaving a comment at Instagram or Facebook – we are @theskipodcast – or by dropping me an email theskipodcast@gmail.com There are now 273 episodes of The Ski Podcast to catch up with.

As parents, it's natural to want to smooth the path for our daughters—to protect them from hurt, hardship, and struggle. But when we make life too easy, we may unintentionally rob them of the very opportunities that build strength, character, and faith.  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay, Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, is joined by Erin Kunkle, co-founder of MAVEN and a veteran homeschooling mom, to talk about why struggle is not the enemy of growth—it's the catalyst for it. Erin draws from her experience as a ministry leader, speaker, and mom to highlight how over-helping can hinder a girl's emotional, mental, and spiritual development.  Together, Patti and Erin unpack why “lawnmower parenting” may feel loving in the moment but ultimately leaves girls unequipped for the challenges of life and faith. Instead, they remind us that it's through perseverance, problem-solving, and dependence on Christ that our daughters become resilient young women who pursue truth, goodness, and beauty.  Scripture References in this Episode:  Romans 5:3–4 — “Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”  James 1:2–4 — “Consider it pure joy… because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”  Hebrews 12:11 — “No discipline seems pleasant at the time… later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.”  Proverbs 22:6 — “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”  If you've ever wrestled with knowing when to step in and when to step back, this episode will encourage you to trust God's design, embrace the power of perseverance, and equip your daughter to thrive—even when life gets hard.  To learn more about Erin's work and the MAVEN ministry, visit maventruth.com.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.     To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your Host Downrigger Dale had a great discussion with Greg Lemon, the Head of Communication and Education for the FWP. The main topic they covered was hunting land access. Most all the research on this topic has centered around two main areas, how do we get more land access and how do we keep the access we currently have. The number one reason we don't get access or lose access boils down to one thing, hunter and landowner relations. The sad fact is it only takes one bad hunter to lose access for all the good hunters. When you listen you'll learn all about the growth of and the current plans for a program called, It's Up to Us. Respect Access. Protect the Hunt. This podcast will give you some great information on that program and will give you some ideas on how you can help weed out the bad actors and how you can get even more access for your future hunts.

David Lesch is a poster child for something. I'm just not sure what. On the one hand, given his personal reinvention from Los Angeles Dodgers first-round draft pick to official biographer of Bashar al Assad, some might consider him proof that the American Dream still exists. But others, including even himself , would argue that his incredible pivot from baseball protege to Harvard-educated Middle Eastern expert, reflects the privilege of his social class and perhaps even gender. In any event, the Lesch story is pretty amazing - which is why the San Antonio-based biographer Catherine Nixon Cooke has just published Dodgers to Damascus, the story of his journey from star pitcher to star diplomat. So it was intriguing to not only host Cooke but also David Lesch to discuss his highly unusual journey from the youthful potential of baseball to the grim reality of Bashar al Assad's Syria. 1. Privilege complicates the reinvention narrative Lesch's transformation from baseball to diplomacy required significant advantages - supportive family, financial stability, and access to elite education. His story demonstrates both genuine resilience and the reality that dramatic career pivots often depend on existing social capital.2. Failure as preparation has limits While Lesch credits baseball's culture of failure with preparing him for diplomacy, this framework works better in retrospect. The "fetishization of failure" narrative is easier to embrace after achieving success than during actual setbacks.3. American Middle East policy remains deeply flawed Despite Lesch's generous B-grade assessment based on narrow objectives (oil access, Israeli security, Soviet containment), the broader record suggests more fundamental failures in understanding regional complexities and long-term consequences.4. Assad's evolution illustrates power's corrupting force Lesch's insider perspective on Bashar al-Assad's transformation from potential reformer to authoritarian ruler provides a case study in how institutional constraints and personal ambition can override initial intentions.5. Listening skills transfer across domains The interview emphasizes how Lesch's approach to conflict resolution - particularly deep listening and cultural understanding - represents transferable expertise that America needs more of, regardless of political administration.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

As the Building Better Developers with AI season nears its close, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a topic every team faces but few get right: code consistency. In this episode, they explore how shared conventions, smart tooling, and simple documentation transform messy projects into scalable, high-quality systems. The Hidden Cost of Inconsistency Picture opening a project where every file tells a different story: mixed naming styles, conflicting error handling, and folders arranged on a whim. Before you can fix a bug or add a feature, you're lost in formatting chaos. Callout: Inconsistency wastes time, complicates onboarding, and hides defects—long before code reaches production. Rob notes that AI can now help. Define your preferred patterns—naming, structure, logging—and tools like ChatGPT can propose refactors that enforce uniformity. What Code Consistency Looks Like Consistency isn't about stifling creativity—it's about shared, predictable choices that reduce cognitive load. The essentials include: Naming & Structure – Clear, conventional names; sensible modules/packages. File Organization – Standard project layouts (Maven for Java, src/app folders in web projects). Comments & Docs – Concise explanations paired with readable code. Error Handling & Logging – A single, unified approach across the app. Michael highlights that without these agreements, containerized deployments break easily and new developers struggle to contribute. Why Teams Benefit from Code Consistency Rob compares a consistent codebase to a band playing in sync: individual instruments can vary, but the music holds together. That's the impact of code consistency. Benefits include: Communication: Developers spend less time deciphering quirks. Maintainability: Predictable structure accelerates debugging and onboarding. Quality: Automated tools enforce standards and prevent regressions. Professionalism: Consistent code signals engineering maturity, not just coding skill. Tools That Do the Heavy Lifting Michael insists that every team should enforce linters, formatters, and pre-commit hooks. Without them, a small change can appear as a full-file rewrite, confusing reviews and merges. Start with community standards like PEP8, Google Java Style, or eslint/prettier. Add checks to CI/CD pipelines. Document expectations in CONTRIBUTING.md or a team wiki. Pro Tip: One rule set, many editors. Don't let each IDE invent its own defaults. Debunking the Myths of Code Consistency “Standards kill creativity.” True creativity lies in solving problems, not inventing new brace styles. “It slows us down.” Alignment may take effort initially, but it saves hours of confusion later. “Every project is different.” Standards should evolve as living guidelines, not rigid laws. Michael adds that consistent libraries allow teams to reuse components across projects instead of duplicating them. How to Put Standards Into Practice Here's a simple rollout path: Choose a baseline such as PEP8 or Google Style. Automate formatting and linting. Add pre-commit hooks to stop violations early. Focus reviews on consistency, not just correctness. Document standards and revisit them quarterly. Encourage adoption. Praise clean diffs and fast merges. Your Developer Challenge Here's your action step: Pick one project and audit three files. How many naming styles, error-handling patterns, or file structures do you find? Then: Apply a linter or formatter. Document two conventions (naming + logging). Share them with your team. Small steps toward code consistency will save your team time, money, and frustration down the road.

"I believe when you put yourself in uncomfortable situations is when you grow the most. Living in a rural village, no running water, no electricity, and essentially being a doula in a middle Atlas Mountain Village for two and a half years, different language, different religion, you know, you just learn a lot about people." From Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco to CEO of Oxeon—the executive search firm reimagining healthcare leadership—Sonia Millsom has spent 30 years proving that the most uncomfortable paths lead to the greatest transformations. Her journey through healthcare's biggest successes (including helping scale Maven to unicorn status and Iora Health to a billion-dollar exit) taught her one critical truth: companies don't fail because of bad CEOs—they fail because the wrong people are at the wrong tables. Now at Oxeon, Sonia is fixing that problem by placing leaders at ALL the tables that matter: executive teams, boardrooms, and cap tables. Because after 13 years of data, she knows exactly what makes leaders successful—and it's not what most people think. "High performing teams have high degrees of psychological safety," she explains. But in today's world of AI disruption, multi-generational workforces, and constant pivots, that safety is harder to build than ever. Her solution? Stop looking for the CEO with three unicorn exits. Start looking for leaders who can "think again" like scientists, not preachers or prosecutors. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Sonia also reveals: The 5 key attributes that predict leadership success (hint: clock speed matters more than credentials) Why women will control $34 trillion by 2030—and how that changes everything about healthcare What Peace Corps taught her about patient care that Harvard Business School never could The real reason companies pivot faster now (and why your old playbook won't save you) How ambient listening cameras preventing patient falls signals healthcare's AI future Why "life begins at the end of your comfort zone"—advice she's passing to her daughters The pattern recognition trap that causes investors to miss breakthrough leaders "Nothing is up and to the right all the time," Sonia admits. "When those times of when things go down is actually where you learn the most." From serving as a doula in rural Morocco to orchestrating billion-dollar healthcare transformations, Sonia Millsom proves that understanding people—whether patients in villages or executives in boardrooms—is the key to driving real change. At Oxeon, she's not just filling leadership positions; she's architecting the future of healthcare by ensuring the right leaders are at every table where decisions get made. Her motto? "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." Her mission? Making sure healthcare's next generation of leaders—including her own daughters—are ready to be uncomfortable, curious, and kind enough to transform an industry that touches us all.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-eleventh episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE S-3 Operations OCT, from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are MAJ Steven Yates, the BDE S-6 Signal OCT from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) and SFC Daniel Pippin, the BN S-6 Signal NCOIC from the 1-509th IN (ABN) Opposing Force.   This episode of The Crucible centers on the challenges of command and control (C2) integration and the employment of enablers within brigade combat teams (BCTs) at JRTC. The discussion highlights recurring issues with overcomplicated signal plans, inadequate COMSEC readiness, and a persistent lack of basic communications skills across maneuver formations. Despite widespread fielding of advanced systems like ITN, many units arrive without validated PACE plans or shared understanding of how to communicate across formations and enabler teams. A key friction point is the failure to execute realistic COMEX and VALEX rehearsals, which often leads to failure in establishing a functioning network prior to movement into the box. When soldiers can't log into CPCE or MAVEN or don't know how to employ SATCOM or FM, the entire C2 enterprise falters before first contact.   The episode also stresses the importance of simplifying communications, cross-training non-signal personnel, and involving maneuver leaders in signal planning. A lack of distributed competence creates overreliance on limited 25-series personnel. The team praises aviation's model of integrating comms training into pilot academics and encourages similar investments at the BCT level—where every Soldier using a radio must understand its function and limitations. Integration of enablers—particularly aviation, foreign partners, and multi-echelon elements like MEC teams—demands proactive coordination well before RSOI. The key takeaway: units that treat RSOI as part of the operations process, not just an administrative requirement, set the conditions for success. C2 must be validated with full mission threads—sensor-to-shooter, PED, and digital fires—before rolling into the box. Anything less risks operational paralysis in the first 48 hours.   Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Commit to Your Vision: Go into hunts with a clear mental picture of success—whether it's killing in a specific canyon or on a tough unit. This "willing it into existence" mindset helps push through mental battles and turns challenges into obsessions that pay off. Read the Room and Act Fast: When closing in on elk, analyze herd dynamics like cow body language, bull position, and movement patterns. Be aggressive in decisions—cut off herds for ambushes—but know when to slow down. It's all about building that gut intuition through real field time.

Palantir's power is growing by the minute, largely due to its symbiotic relationship with the White House and Pentagon. Its billion dollar Maven deal with the DOD, multi-billion dollar deal for Army data, and even larger deals for missile defense, place the company at the forefront of preparation for a war its CEO predicted in 2024. It's work with the White House to build a spy apparatus for U.S. citizens along with affiliate groups launching programs to eliminate the First Amendment, all coupled with the deployment of national guard for surveillance and crime, indicates preparations for a domestic war perhaps linked to the wider global war Palantir is planning. Whatever the case, the agents involved are almost exclusively Israeli and part of the intelligence community, from OpenAI and Oracle to Facebook, Google, and Palantir which works directly with the U.S. and Israeli military. Perhaps it has something to do with the Israeli plan to totally occupy Gaza, something partly run by Palantir, or the agenda for regime change in Iran which itself has been promoted by algorithms. Palantir is also using data collection to gather sexual information on British citizens and police data in Germany. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Arnaud et Guillaume explore l'évolution de l'écosystème Java avec Java 25, Spring Boot et Quarkus, ainsi que les dernières tendances en intelligence artificielle avec les nouveaux modèles comme Grok 4 et Claude Code. Les animateurs font également le point sur l'infrastructure cloud, les défis MCP et CLI, tout en discutant de l'impact de l'IA sur la productivité des développeurs et la gestion de la dette technique.

News Langages Java 25: JEP 515 : Profilage de méthode en avance (Ahead-of-Time) https://openjdk.org/jeps/515 Le JEP 515 a pour but d'améliorer le temps de démarrage et de chauffe des applications Java. L'idée est de collecter les profils d'exécution des méthodes lors d'une exécution antérieure, puis de les rendre immédiatement disponibles au démarrage de la machine virtuelle. Cela permet au compilateur JIT de générer du code natif dès le début, sans avoir à attendre que l'application soit en cours d'exécution. Ce changement ne nécessite aucune modification du code des applications, des bibliothèques ou des frameworks. L'intégration se fait via les commandes de création de cache AOT existantes. Voir aussi https://openjdk.org/jeps/483 et https://openjdk.org/jeps/514 Java 25: JEP 518 : Échantillonnage coopératif JFR https://openjdk.org/jeps/518 Le JEP 518 a pour objectif d'améliorer la stabilité et l'évolutivité de la fonction JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) pour le profilage d'exécution. Le mécanisme d'échantillonnage des piles d'appels de threads Java est retravaillé pour s'exécuter uniquement à des safepoints, ce qui réduit les risques d'instabilité. Le nouveau modèle permet un parcours de pile plus sûr, notamment avec le garbage collector ZGC, et un échantillonnage plus efficace qui prend en charge le parcours de pile concurrent. Le JEP ajoute un nouvel événement, SafepointLatency, qui enregistre le temps nécessaire à un thread pour atteindre un safepoint. L'approche rend le processus d'échantillonnage plus léger et plus rapide, car le travail de création de traces de pile est délégué au thread cible lui-même. Librairies Spring Boot 4 M1 https://spring.io/blog/2025/07/24/spring-boot–4–0–0-M1-available-now Spring Boot 4.0.0-M1 met à jour de nombreuses dépendances internes et externes pour améliorer la stabilité et la compatibilité. Les types annotés avec @ConfigurationProperties peuvent maintenant référencer des types situés dans des modules externes grâce à @ConfigurationPropertiesSource. Le support de l'information sur la validité des certificats SSL a été simplifié, supprimant l'état WILL_EXPIRE_SOON au profit de VALID. L'auto-configuration des métriques Micrometer supporte désormais l'annotation @MeterTag sur les méthodes annotées @Counted et @Timed, avec évaluation via SpEL. Le support de @ServiceConnection pour MongoDB inclut désormais l'intégration avec MongoDBAtlasLocalContainer de Testcontainers. Certaines fonctionnalités et API ont été dépréciées, avec des recommandations pour migrer les points de terminaison personnalisés vers les versions Spring Boot 2. Les versions milestones et release candidates sont maintenant publiées sur Maven Central, en plus du repository Spring traditionnel. Un guide de migration a été publié pour faciliter la transition depuis Spring Boot 3.5 vers la version 4.0.0-M1. Passage de Spring Boot à Quarkus : retour d'expérience https://blog.stackademic.com/we-switched-from-spring-boot-to-quarkus-heres-the-ugly-truth-c8a91c2b8c53 Une équipe a migré une application Java de Spring Boot vers Quarkus pour gagner en performances et réduire la consommation mémoire. L'objectif était aussi d'optimiser l'application pour le cloud natif. La migration a été plus complexe que prévu, notamment à cause de l'incompatibilité avec certaines bibliothèques et d'un écosystème Quarkus moins mature. Il a fallu revoir du code et abandonner certaines fonctionnalités spécifiques à Spring Boot. Les gains en performances et en mémoire sont réels, mais la migration demande un vrai effort d'adaptation. La communauté Quarkus progresse, mais le support reste limité comparé à Spring Boot. Conclusion : Quarkus est intéressant pour les nouveaux projets ou ceux prêts à être réécrits, mais la migration d'un projet existant est un vrai défi. LangChain4j 1.2.0 : Nouvelles fonctionnalités et améliorations https://github.com/langchain4j/langchain4j/releases/tag/1.2.0 Modules stables : Les modules langchain4j-anthropic, langchain4j-azure-open-ai, langchain4j-bedrock, langchain4j-google-ai-gemini, langchain4j-mistral-ai et langchain4j-ollama sont désormais en version stable 1.2.0. Modules expérimentaux : La plupart des autres modules de LangChain4j sont en version 1.2.0-beta8 et restent expérimentaux/instables. BOM mis à jour : Le langchain4j-bom a été mis à jour en version 1.2.0, incluant les dernières versions de tous les modules. Principales améliorations : Support du raisonnement/pensée dans les modèles. Appels d'outils partiels en streaming. Option MCP pour exposer automatiquement les ressources en tant qu'outils. OpenAI : possibilité de définir des paramètres de requête personnalisés et d'accéder aux réponses HTTP brutes et aux événements SSE. Améliorations de la gestion des erreurs et de la documentation. Filtering Metadata Infinispan ! (cc Katia( Et 1.3.0 est déjà disponible https://github.com/langchain4j/langchain4j/releases/tag/1.3.0 2 nouveaux modules expérimentaux, langchain4j-agentic et langchain4j-agentic-a2a qui introduisent un ensemble d'abstractions et d'utilitaires pour construire des applications agentiques Infrastructure Cette fois c'est vraiment l'année de Linux sur le desktop ! https://www.lesnumeriques.com/informatique/c-est-enfin-arrive-linux-depasse-un-seuil-historique-que-microsoft-pensait-intouchable-n239977.html Linux a franchi la barre des 5% aux USA Cette progression s'explique en grande partie par l'essor des systèmes basés sur Linux dans les environnements professionnels, les serveurs, et certains usages grand public. Microsoft, longtemps dominant avec Windows, voyait ce seuil comme difficilement atteignable à court terme. Le succès de Linux est également alimenté par la popularité croissante des distributions open source, plus légères, personnalisables et adaptées à des usages variés. Le cloud, l'IoT, et les infrastructures de serveurs utilisent massivement Linux, ce qui contribue à cette augmentation globale. Ce basculement symbolique marque un changement d'équilibre dans l'écosystème des systèmes d'exploitation. Toutefois, Windows conserve encore une forte présence dans certains segments, notamment chez les particuliers et dans les entreprises classiques. Cette évolution témoigne du dynamisme et de la maturité croissante des solutions Linux, devenues des alternatives crédibles et robustes face aux offres propriétaires. Cloud Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 s'en va pendant une heure d'internet https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare–1–1–1–1-incident-on-july–14–2025/ Le 14 juillet 2025, le service DNS public Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 a subi une panne majeure de 62 minutes, rendant le service indisponible pour la majorité des utilisateurs mondiaux. Cette panne a aussi causé une dégradation intermittente du service Gateway DNS. L'incident est survenu suite à une mise à jour de la topologie des services Cloudflare qui a activé une erreur de configuration introduite en juin 2025. Cette erreur faisait que les préfixes destinés au service 1.1.1.1 ont été accidentellement inclus dans un nouveau service de localisation des données (Data Localization Suite), ce qui a perturbé le routage anycast. Le résultat a été une incapacité pour les utilisateurs à résoudre les noms de domaine via 1.1.1.1, rendant la plupart des services Internet inaccessibles pour eux. Ce n'était pas le résultat d'une attaque ou d'un problème BGP, mais une erreur interne de configuration. Cloudflare a rapidement identifié la cause, corrigé la configuration et mis en place des mesures pour prévenir ce type d'incident à l'avenir. Le service est revenu à la normale après environ une heure d'indisponibilité. L'incident souligne la complexité et la sensibilité des infrastructures anycast et la nécessité d'une gestion rigoureuse des configurations réseau. Web L'évolution des bonnes pratiques de Node.js https://kashw1n.com/blog/nodejs–2025/ Évolution de Node.js en 2025 : Le développement se tourne vers les standards du web, avec moins de dépendances externes et une meilleure expérience pour les développeurs. ES Modules (ESM) par défaut : Remplacement de CommonJS pour un meilleur outillage et une standardisation avec le web. Utilisation du préfixe node: pour les modules natifs afin d'éviter les conflits. API web intégrées : fetch, AbortController, et AbortSignal sont maintenant natifs, réduisant le besoin de librairies comme axios. Runner de test intégré : Plus besoin de Jest ou Mocha pour la plupart des cas. Inclut un mode “watch” et des rapports de couverture. Patterns asynchrones avancés : Utilisation plus poussée de async/await avec Promise.all() pour le parallélisme et les AsyncIterators pour les flux d'événements. Worker Threads pour le parallélisme : Pour les tâches lourdes en CPU, évitant de bloquer l'event loop principal. Expérience de développement améliorée : Intégration du mode --watch (remplace nodemon) et du support --env-file (remplace dotenv). Sécurité et performance : Modèle de permission expérimental pour restreindre l'accès et des hooks de performance natifs pour le monitoring. Distribution simplifiée : Création d'exécutables uniques pour faciliter le déploiement d'applications ou d'outils en ligne de commande. Sortie de Apache EChart 6 après 12 ans ! https://echarts.apache.org/handbook/en/basics/release-note/v6-feature/ Apache ECharts 6.0 : Sortie officielle après 12 ans d'évolution. 12 mises à niveau majeures pour la visualisation de données. Trois dimensions clés d'amélioration : Présentation visuelle plus professionnelle : Nouveau thème par défaut (design moderne). Changement dynamique de thème. Prise en charge du mode sombre. Extension des limites de l'expression des données : Nouveaux types de graphiques : Diagramme de cordes (Chord Chart), Nuage de points en essaim (Beeswarm Chart). Nouvelles fonctionnalités : Jittering pour nuages de points denses, Axes coupés (Broken Axis). Graphiques boursiers améliorés Liberté de composition : Nouveau système de coordonnées matriciel. Séries personnalisées améliorées (réutilisation du code, publication npm). Nouveaux graphiques personnalisés inclus (violon, contour, etc.). Optimisation de l'agencement des étiquettes d'axe. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Grok 4 s'est pris pour un nazi à cause des tools https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/15/xai-says-it-has-fixed-grok–4s-problematic-responses/ À son lancement, Grok 4 a généré des réponses offensantes, notamment en se surnommant « MechaHitler » et en adoptant des propos antisémites. Ce comportement provenait d'une recherche automatique sur le web qui a mal interprété un mème viral comme une vérité. Grok alignait aussi ses réponses controversées sur les opinions d'Elon Musk et de xAI, ce qui a amplifié les biais. xAI a identifié que ces dérapages étaient dus à une mise à jour interne intégrant des instructions encourageant un humour offensant et un alignement avec Musk. Pour corriger cela, xAI a supprimé le code fautif, remanié les prompts système, et imposé des directives demandant à Grok d'effectuer une analyse indépendante, en utilisant des sources diverses. Grok doit désormais éviter tout biais, ne plus adopter un humour politiquement incorrect, et analyser objectivement les sujets sensibles. xAI a présenté ses excuses, précisant que ces dérapages étaient dus à un problème de prompt et non au modèle lui-même. Cet incident met en lumière les défis persistants d'alignement et de sécurité des modèles d'IA face aux injections indirectes issues du contenu en ligne. La correction n'est pas qu'un simple patch technique, mais un exemple des enjeux éthiques et de responsabilité majeurs dans le déploiement d'IA à grande échelle. Guillaume a sorti toute une série d'article sur les patterns agentiques avec le framework ADK pour Java https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/29/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-the-recap/ Un premier article explique comment découper les tâches en sous-agents IA : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/23/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-sub-agents/ Un deuxième article détaille comment organiser les agents de manière séquentielle : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/24/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-sequential-agent/ Un troisième article explique comment paralleliser des tâches indépendantes : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/25/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-parallel-agent/ Et enfin, comment faire des boucles d'amélioration : https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/07/28/mastering-agentic-workflows-with-adk-loop-agents/ Tout ça évidemment en Java :slightly_smiling_face: 6 semaines de code avec Claude https://blog.puzzmo.com/posts/2025/07/30/six-weeks-of-claude-code/ Orta partage son retour après 6 semaines d'utilisation quotidienne de Claude Code, qui a profondément changé sa manière de coder. Il ne « code » plus vraiment ligne par ligne, mais décrit ce qu'il veut, laisse Claude proposer une solution, puis corrige ou ajuste. Cela permet de se concentrer sur le résultat plutôt que sur l'implémentation, comme passer de la peinture au polaroid. Claude s'avère particulièrement utile pour les tâches de maintenance : migrations, refactors, nettoyage de code. Il reste toujours en contrôle, révise chaque diff généré, et guide l'IA via des prompts bien cadrés. Il note qu'il faut quelques semaines pour prendre le bon pli : apprendre à découper les tâches et formuler clairement les attentes. Les tâches simples deviennent quasi instantanées, mais les tâches complexes nécessitent encore de l'expérience et du discernement. Claude Code est vu comme un très bon copilote, mais ne remplace pas le rôle du développeur qui comprend l'ensemble du système. Le gain principal est une vitesse de feedback plus rapide et une boucle d'itération beaucoup plus courte. Ce type d'outil pourrait bien redéfinir la manière dont on pense et structure le développement logiciel à moyen terme. Claude Code et les serveurs MCP : ou comment transformer ton terminal en assistant surpuissant https://touilleur-express.fr/2025/07/27/claude-code-et-les-serveurs-mcp-ou-comment-transformer-ton-terminal-en-assistant-surpuissant/ Nicolas continue ses études sur Claude Code et explique comment utiliser les serveurs MCP pour rendre Claude bien plus efficace. Le MCP Context7 montre comment fournir à l'IA la doc technique à jour (par exemple, Next.js 15) pour éviter les hallucinations ou les erreurs. Le MCP Task Master, autre serveur MCP, transforme un cahier des charges (PRD) en tâches atomiques, estimées, et organisées sous forme de plan de travail. Le MCP Playwright permet de manipuler des navigateurs et d'executer des tests E2E Le MCP Digital Ocean permet de déployer facilement l'application en production Tout n'est pas si ideal, les quotas sont atteints en quelques heures sur une petite application et il y a des cas où il reste bien plus efficace de le faire soit-même (pour un codeur expérimenté) Nicolas complète cet article avec l'écriture d'un MVP en 20 heures: https://touilleur-express.fr/2025/07/30/comment-jai-code-un-mvp-en-une-vingtaine-dheures-avec-claude-code/ Le développement augmenté, un avis politiquement correct, mais bon… https://touilleur-express.fr/2025/07/31/le-developpement-augmente-un-avis-politiquement-correct-mais-bon/ Nicolas partage un avis nuancé (et un peu provoquant) sur le développement augmenté, où l'IA comme Claude Code assiste le développeur sans le remplacer. Il rejette l'idée que cela serait « trop magique » ou « trop facile » : c'est une évolution logique de notre métier, pas un raccourci pour les paresseux. Pour lui, un bon dev reste celui qui structure bien sa pensée, sait poser un problème, découper, valider — même si l'IA aide à coder plus vite. Il raconte avoir codé une app OAuth, testée, stylisée et déployée en quelques heures, sans jamais quitter le terminal grâce à Claude. Ce genre d'outillage change le rapport au temps : on passe de « je vais y réfléchir » à « je tente tout de suite une version qui marche à peu près ». Il assume aimer cette approche rapide et imparfaite : mieux vaut une version brute livrée vite qu'un projet bloqué par le perfectionnisme. L'IA est selon lui un super stagiaire : jamais fatigué, parfois à côté de la plaque, mais diablement productif quand bien briefé. Il conclut que le « dev augmenté » ne remplace pas les bons développeurs… mais les développeurs moyens doivent s'y mettre, sous peine d'être dépassés. ChatGPT lance le mode d'étude : un apprentissage interactif pas à pas https://openai.com/index/chatgpt-study-mode/ OpenAI propose un mode d'étude dans ChatGPT qui guide les utilisateurs pas à pas plutôt que de donner directement la réponse. Ce mode vise à encourager la réflexion active et l'apprentissage en profondeur. Il utilise des instructions personnalisées pour poser des questions et fournir des explications adaptées au niveau de l'utilisateur. Le mode d'étude favorise la gestion de la charge cognitive et stimule la métacognition. Il propose des réponses structurées pour faciliter la compréhension progressive des sujets. Disponible dès maintenant pour les utilisateurs connectés, ce mode sera intégré dans ChatGPT Edu. L'objectif est de transformer ChatGPT en un véritable tuteur numérique, aidant les étudiants à mieux assimiler les connaissances. A priori Gemini viendrait de sortir un fonctionnalité similaire Lancement de GPT-OSS par OpenAI https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-oss/ https://openai.com/index/gpt-oss-model-card/ OpenAI a lancé GPT-OSS, sa première famille de modèles open-weight depuis GPT–2. Deux modèles sont disponibles : gpt-oss–120b et gpt-oss–20b, qui sont des modèles mixtes d'experts conçus pour le raisonnement et les tâches d'agent. Les modèles sont distribués sous licence Apache 2.0, permettant leur utilisation et leur personnalisation gratuites, y compris pour des applications commerciales. Le modèle gpt-oss–120b est capable de performances proches du modèle OpenAI o4-mini, tandis que le gpt-oss–20b est comparable au o3-mini. OpenAI a également open-sourcé un outil de rendu appelé Harmony en Python et Rust pour en faciliter l'adoption. Les modèles sont optimisés pour fonctionner localement et sont pris en charge par des plateformes comme Hugging Face et Ollama. OpenAI a mené des recherches sur la sécurité pour s'assurer que les modèles ne pouvaient pas être affinés pour des utilisations malveillantes dans les domaines biologique, chimique ou cybernétique. Anthropic lance Opus 4.1 https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus–4–1 Anthropic a publié Claude Opus 4.1, une mise à jour de son modèle de langage. Cette nouvelle version met l'accent sur l'amélioration des performances en codage, en raisonnement et sur les tâches de recherche et d'analyse de données. Le modèle a obtenu un score de 74,5 % sur le benchmark SWE-bench Verified, ce qui représente une amélioration par rapport à la version précédente. Il excelle notamment dans la refactorisation de code multifichier et est capable d'effectuer des recherches approfondies. Claude Opus 4.1 est disponible pour les utilisateurs payants de Claude, ainsi que via l'API, Amazon Bedrock et Vertex AI de Google Cloud, avec des tarifs identiques à ceux d'Opus 4. Il est présenté comme un remplacement direct de Claude Opus 4, avec des performances et une précision supérieures pour les tâches de programmation réelles. OpenAI Summer Update. GPT–5 is out https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt–5/ Détails https://openai.com/index/gpt–5-new-era-of-work/ https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt–5-for-developers/ https://openai.com/index/gpt–5-safe-completions/ https://openai.com/index/gpt–5-system-card/ Amélioration majeure des capacités cognitives - GPT‑5 montre un niveau de raisonnement, d'abstraction et de compréhension nettement supérieur aux modèles précédents. Deux variantes principales - gpt-5-main : rapide, efficace pour les tâches générales. gpt-5-thinking : plus lent mais spécialisé dans les tâches complexes, nécessitant réflexion profonde. Routeur intelligent intégré - Le système sélectionne automatiquement la version la plus adaptée à la tâche (rapide ou réfléchie), sans intervention de l'utilisateur. Fenêtre de contexte encore étendue - GPT‑5 peut traiter des volumes de texte plus longs (jusqu'à 1 million de tokens dans certaines versions), utile pour des documents ou projets entiers. Réduction significative des hallucinations - GPT‑5 donne des réponses plus fiables, avec moins d'erreurs inventées ou de fausses affirmations. Comportement plus neutre et moins sycophant - Il a été entraîné pour mieux résister à l'alignement excessif avec les opinions de l'utilisateur. Capacité accrue à suivre des instructions complexes - GPT‑5 comprend mieux les consignes longues, implicites ou nuancées. Approche “Safe completions” - Remplacement des “refus d'exécution” par des réponses utiles mais sûres — le modèle essaie de répondre avec prudence plutôt que bloquer. Prêt pour un usage professionnel à grande échelle - Optimisé pour le travail en entreprise : rédaction, programmation, synthèse, automatisation, gestion de tâches, etc. Améliorations spécifiques pour le codage - GPT‑5 est plus performant pour l'écriture de code, la compréhension de contextes logiciels complexes, et l'usage d'outils de développement. Expérience utilisateur plus rapide et fluide- Le système réagit plus vite grâce à une orchestration optimisée entre les différents sous-modèles. Capacités agentiques renforcées - GPT‑5 peut être utilisé comme base pour des agents autonomes capables d'accomplir des objectifs avec peu d'interventions humaines. Multimodalité maîtrisée (texte, image, audio) - GPT‑5 intègre de façon plus fluide la compréhension de formats multiples, dans un seul modèle. Fonctionnalités pensées pour les développeurs - Documentation plus claire, API unifiée, modèles plus transparents et personnalisables. Personnalisation contextuelle accrue - Le système s'adapte mieux au style, ton ou préférences de l'utilisateur, sans instructions répétées. Utilisation énergétique et matérielle optimisée - Grâce au routeur interne, les ressources sont utilisées plus efficacement selon la complexité des tâches. Intégration sécurisée dans les produits ChatGPT - Déjà déployé dans ChatGPT avec des bénéfices immédiats pour les utilisateurs Pro et entreprises. Modèle unifié pour tous les usages - Un seul système capable de passer de la conversation légère à des analyses scientifiques ou du code complexe. Priorité à la sécurité et à l'alignement - GPT‑5 a été conçu dès le départ pour minimiser les abus, biais ou comportements indésirables. Pas encore une AGI - OpenAI insiste : malgré ses capacités impressionnantes, GPT‑5 n'est pas une intelligence artificielle générale. Non, non, les juniors ne sont pas obsolètes malgré l'IA ! (dixit GitHub) https://github.blog/ai-and-ml/generative-ai/junior-developers-arent-obsolete-heres-how-to-thrive-in-the-age-of-ai/ L'IA transforme le développement logiciel, mais les développeurs juniors ne sont pas obsolètes. Les nouveaux apprenants sont bien positionnés, car déjà familiers avec les outils IA. L'objectif est de développer des compétences pour travailler avec l'IA, pas d'être remplacé. La créativité et la curiosité sont des qualités humaines clés. Cinq façons de se démarquer : Utiliser l'IA (ex: GitHub Copilot) pour apprendre plus vite, pas seulement coder plus vite (ex: mode tuteur, désactiver l'autocomplétion temporairement). Construire des projets publics démontrant ses compétences (y compris en IA). Maîtriser les workflows GitHub essentiels (GitHub Actions, contribution open source, pull requests). Affûter son expertise en révisant du code (poser des questions, chercher des patterns, prendre des notes). Déboguer plus intelligemment et rapidement avec l'IA (ex: Copilot Chat pour explications, corrections, tests). Ecrire son premier agent IA avec A2A avec WildFly par Emmanuel Hugonnet https://www.wildfly.org/news/2025/08/07/Building-your-First-A2A-Agent/ Protocole Agent2Agent (A2A) : Standard ouvert pour l'interopérabilité universelle des agents IA. Permet communication et collaboration efficaces entre agents de différents fournisseurs/frameworks. Crée des écosystèmes multi-agents unifiés, automatisant les workflows complexes. Objet de l'article : Guide pour construire un premier agent A2A (agent météo) dans WildFly. Utilise A2A Java SDK pour Jakarta Servers, WildFly AI Feature Pack, un LLM (Gemini) et un outil Python (MCP). Agent conforme A2A v0.2.5. Prérequis : JDK 17+, Apache Maven 3.8+, IDE Java, Google AI Studio API Key, Python 3.10+, uv. Étapes de construction de l'agent météo : Création du service LLM : Interface Java (WeatherAgent) utilisant LangChain4J pour interagir avec un LLM et un outil Python MCP (fonctions get_alerts, get_forecast). Définition de l'agent A2A (via CDI) : ▪︎ Agent Card : Fournit les métadonnées de l'agent (nom, description, URL, capacités, compétences comme “weather_search”). Agent Executor : Gère les requêtes A2A entrantes, extrait le message utilisateur, appelle le service LLM et formate la réponse. Exposition de l'agent : Enregistrement d'une application JAX-RS pour les endpoints. Déploiement et test : Configuration de l'outil A2A-inspector de Google (via un conteneur Podman). Construction du projet Maven, configuration des variables d'environnement (ex: GEMINI_API_KEY). Lancement du serveur WildFly. Conclusion : Transformation minimale d'une application IA en agent A2A. Permet la collaboration et le partage d'informations entre agents IA, indépendamment de leur infrastructure sous-jacente. Outillage IntelliJ IDEa bouge vers une distribution unifiée https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2025/07/intellij-idea-unified-distribution-plan/ À partir de la version 2025.3, IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition ne sera plus distribuée séparément. Une seule version unifiée d'IntelliJ IDEA regroupera les fonctionnalités des éditions Community et Ultimate. Les fonctionnalités avancées de l'édition Ultimate seront accessibles via abonnement. Les utilisateurs sans abonnement auront accès à une version gratuite enrichie par rapport à l'édition Community actuelle. Cette unification vise à simplifier l'expérience utilisateur et réduire les différences entre les éditions. Les utilisateurs Community seront automatiquement migrés vers cette nouvelle version unifiée. Il sera possible d'activer les fonctionnalités Ultimate temporairement d'un simple clic.

Attention à ne pas en abuser car la lisibilité de tels documents n'est pas si facile Gemini CLI rajoute les custom commands comme Claude https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/gemini-cli-custom-slash-commands Mais elles sont au format TOML, on ne peut donc pas les partager avec Claude :disappointed: Automatiser ses workflows IA avec les hooks de Claude Code https://blog.gitbutler.com/automate-your-ai-workflows-with-claude-code-hooks/ Claude Code propose des hooks qui permettent d'exécuter des scripts à différents moments d'une session, par exemple au début, lors de l'utilisation d'outils, ou à la fin. Ces hooks facilitent l'automatisation de tâches comme la gestion de branches Git, l'envoi de notifications, ou l'intégration avec d'autres outils. Un exemple simple est l'envoi d'une notification sur le bureau à la fin d'une session. Les hooks se configurent via trois fichiers JSON distincts selon le scope : utilisateur, projet ou local. Sur macOS, l'envoi de notifications nécessite une permission spécifique via l'application “Script Editor”. Il est important d'avoir une version à jour de Claude Code pour utiliser ces hooks. GitButler permet desormais de s'intégrer à Claude Code via ces hooks: https://blog.gitbutler.com/parallel-claude-code/ Le client Git de Jetbrains bientot en standalone https://lp.jetbrains.com/closed-preview-for-jetbrains-git-client/ Demandé par certains utilisateurs depuis longtemps Ca serait un client graphique du même style qu'un GitButler, SourceTree, etc Apache Maven 4 …. arrive …. l'utilitaire mvnupva vous aider à upgrader https://maven.apache.org/tools/mvnup.html Fixe les incompatibilités connues Nettoie les redondances et valeurs par defaut (versions par ex) non utiles pour Maven 4 Reformattage selon les conventions maven … Une GitHub Action pour Gemini CLI https://blog.google/technology/developers/introducing-gemini-cli-github-actions/ Google a lancé Gemini CLI GitHub Actions, un agent d'IA qui fonctionne comme un “coéquipier de code” pour les dépôts GitHub. L'outil est gratuit et est conçu pour automatiser des tâches de routine telles que le triage des problèmes (issues), l'examen des demandes de tirage (pull requests) et d'autres tâches de développement. Il agit à la fois comme un agent autonome et un collaborateur que les développeurs peuvent solliciter à la demande, notamment en le mentionnant dans une issue ou une pull request. L'outil est basé sur la CLI Gemini, un agent d'IA open-source qui amène le modèle Gemini directement dans le terminal. Il utilise l'infrastructure GitHub Actions, ce qui permet d'isoler les processus dans des conteneurs séparés pour des raisons de sécurité. Trois flux de travail (workflows) open-source sont disponibles au lancement : le triage intelligent des issues, l'examen des pull requests et la collaboration à la demande. Pas besoin de MCP, le code est tout ce dont vous avez besoin https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/7/3/tools/ Armin souligne qu'il n'est pas fan du protocole MCP (Model Context Protocol) dans sa forme actuelle : il manque de composabilité et exige trop de contexte. Il remarque que pour une même tâche (ex. GitHub), utiliser le CLI est souvent plus rapide et plus efficace en termes de contexte que passer par un serveur MCP. Selon lui, le code reste la solution la plus simple et fiable, surtout pour automatiser des tâches répétitives. Il préfère créer des scripts clairs plutôt que se reposer sur l'inférence LLM : cela facilite la vérification, la maintenance et évite les erreurs subtiles. Pour les tâches récurrentes, si on les automatise, mieux vaut le faire avec du code reusable, plutôt que de laisser l'IA deviner à chaque fois. Il illustre cela en convertissant son blog entier de reStructuredText à Markdown : plutôt qu'un usage direct d'IA, il a demandé à Claude de générer un script complet, avec parsing AST, comparaison des fichiers, validation et itération. Ce workflow LLM→code→LLM (analyse et validation) lui a donné confiance dans le résultat final, tout en conservant un contrôle humain sur le processus. Il juge que MCP ne permet pas ce type de pipeline automatisé fiable, car il introduit trop d'inférence et trop de variations par appel. Pour lui, coder reste le meilleur moyen de garder le contrôle, la reproductibilité et la clarté dans les workflows automatisés. MCP vs CLI … https://www.async-let.com/blog/my-take-on-the-mcp-verses-cli-debate/ Cameron raconte son expérience de création du serveur XcodeBuildMCP, qui lui a permis de mieux comprendre le débat entre servir l'IA via MCP ou laisser l'IA utiliser directement les CLI du système. Selon lui, les CLIs restent préférables pour les développeurs experts recherchant contrôle, transparence, performance et simplicité. Mais les serveurs MCP excellent sur les workflows complexes, les contextes persistants, les contraintes de sécurité, et facilitent l'accès pour les utilisateurs moins expérimentés. Il reconnaît la critique selon laquelle MCP consomme trop de contexte (« context bloat ») et que les appels CLI peuvent être plus rapides et compréhensibles. Toutefois, il souligne que beaucoup de problèmes proviennent de la qualité des implémentations clients, pas du protocole MCP en lui‑même. Pour lui, un bon serveur MCP peut proposer des outils soigneusement définis qui simplifient la vie de l'IA (par exemple, renvoyer des données structurées plutôt que du texte brut à parser). Il apprécie la capacité des MCP à offrir des opérations état‑durables (sessions, mémoire, logs capturés), ce que les CLI ne gèrent pas naturellement. Certains scénarios ne peuvent pas fonctionner via CLI (pas de shell accessible) alors que MCP, en tant que protocole indépendant, reste utilisable par n'importe quel client. Son verdict : pas de solution universelle — chaque contexte mérite d'être évalué, et on ne devrait pas imposer MCP ou CLI à tout prix.

Architecture Valoriser la réduction de la dette technique : un vrai défi https://www.lemondeinformatique.fr/actualites/lire-valoriser-la-reduction-de-la-dette-technique-mission-impossible–97483.html La dette technique est un concept mal compris et difficile à valoriser financièrement auprès des directions générales. Les DSI ont du mal à mesurer précisément cette dette, à allouer des budgets spécifiques, et à prouver un retour sur investissement clair. Cette difficulté limite la priorisation des projets de réduction de dette technique face à d'autres initiatives jugées plus urgentes ou stratégiques. Certaines entreprises intègrent progressivement la gestion de la dette technique dans leurs processus de développement. Des approches comme le Software Crafting visent à améliorer la qualité du code pour limiter l'accumulation de cette dette. L'absence d'outils adaptés pour mesurer les progrès rend la démarche encore plus complexe. En résumé, réduire la dette technique reste une mission délicate qui nécessite innovation, méthode et sensibilisation en interne. Il ne faut pas se Mocker … https://martinelli.ch/why-i-dont-use-mocking-frameworks-and-why-you-might-not-need-them-either/ https://blog.tremblay.pro/2025/08/not-using-mocking-frmk.html L'auteur préfère utiliser des fakes ou stubs faits à la main plutôt que des frameworks de mocking comme Mockito ou EasyMock. Les frameworks de mocking isolent le code, mais entraînent souvent : Un fort couplage entre les tests et les détails d'implémentation. Des tests qui valident le mock plutôt que le comportement réel. Deux principes fondamentaux guident son approche : Favoriser un design fonctionnel, avec logique métier pure (fonctions sans effets de bord). Contrôler les données de test : par exemple en utilisant des bases réelles (via Testcontainers) plutôt que de simuler. Dans sa pratique, les seuls cas où un mock externe est utilisé concernent les services HTTP externes, et encore il préfère en simuler seulement le transport plutôt que le comportement métier. Résultat : les tests deviennent plus simples, plus rapides à écrire, plus fiables, et moins fragiles aux évolutions du code. L'article conclut que si tu conçois correctement ton code, tu pourrais très bien ne pas avoir besoin de frameworks de mocking du tout. Le blog en réponse d'Henri Tremblay nuance un peu ces retours Méthodologies C'est quoi être un bon PM ? (Product Manager) Article de Chris Perry, un PM chez Google : https://thechrisperry.substack.com/p/being-a-good-pm-at-google Le rôle de PM est difficile : Un travail exigeant, où il faut être le plus impliqué de l'équipe pour assurer le succès. 1. Livrer (shipper) est tout ce qui compte : La priorité absolue. Mieux vaut livrer et itérer rapidement que de chercher la perfection en théorie. Un produit livré permet d'apprendre de la réalité. 2. Donner l'envie du grand large : La meilleure façon de faire avancer un projet est d'inspirer l'équipe avec une vision forte et désirable. Montrer le “pourquoi”. 3. Utiliser son produit tous les jours : Non négociable pour réussir. Permet de développer une intuition et de repérer les vrais problèmes que la recherche utilisateur ne montre pas toujours. 4. Être un bon ami : Créer des relations authentiques et aider les autres est un facteur clé de succès à long terme. La confiance est la base d'une exécution rapide. 5. Donner plus qu'on ne reçoit : Toujours chercher à aider et à collaborer. La stratégie optimale sur la durée est la coopération. Ne pas être possessif avec ses idées. 6. Utiliser le bon levier : Pour obtenir une décision, il faut identifier la bonne personne qui a le pouvoir de dire “oui”, et ne pas se laisser bloquer par des avis non décisionnaires. 7. N'aller que là où on apporte de la valeur : Combler les manques, faire le travail ingrat que personne ne veut faire. Savoir aussi s'écarter (réunions, projets) quand on n'est pas utile. 8. Le succès a plusieurs parents, l'échec est orphelin : Si le produit réussit, c'est un succès d'équipe. S'il échoue, c'est la faute du PM. Il faut assumer la responsabilité finale. Conclusion : Le PM est un chef d'orchestre. Il ne peut pas jouer de tous les instruments, mais son rôle est d'orchestrer avec humilité le travail de tous pour créer quelque chose d'harmonieux. Tester des applications Spring Boot prêtes pour la production : points clés https://www.wimdeblauwe.com/blog/2025/07/30/how-i-test-production-ready-spring-boot-applications/ L'auteur (Wim Deblauwe) détaille comment il structure ses tests dans une application Spring Boot destinée à la production. Le projet inclut automatiquement la dépendance spring-boot-starter-test, qui regroupe JUnit 5, AssertJ, Mockito, Awaitility, JsonAssert, XmlUnit et les outils de testing Spring. Tests unitaires : ciblent les fonctions pures (record, utilitaire), testés simplement avec JUnit et AssertJ sans démarrage du contexte Spring. Tests de cas d'usage (use case) : orchestrent la logique métier, généralement via des use cases qui utilisent un ou plusieurs dépôts de données. Tests JPA/repository : vérifient les interactions avec la base via des tests realisant des opérations CRUD (avec un contexte Spring pour la couche persistance). Tests de contrôleur : permettent de tester les endpoints web (ex. @WebMvcTest), souvent avec MockBean pour simuler les dépendances. Tests d'intégration complets : ils démarrent tout le contexte Spring (@SpringBootTest) pour tester l'application dans son ensemble. L'auteur évoque également des tests d'architecture, mais sans entrer dans le détail dans cet article. Résultat : une pyramide de tests allant des plus rapides (unitaires) aux plus complets (intégration), garantissant fiabilité, vitesse et couverture sans surcharge inutile. Sécurité Bitwarden offre un serveur MCP pour que les agents puissent accéder aux mots de passe https://nerds.xyz/2025/07/bitwarden-mcp-server-secure-ai/ Bitwarden introduit un serveur MCP (Model Context Protocol) destiné à intégrer de manière sécurisée les agents IA dans les workflows de gestion de mots de passe. Ce serveur fonctionne en architecture locale (local-first) : toutes les interactions et les données sensibles restent sur la machine de l'utilisateur, garantissant l'application du principe de chiffrement zero‑knowledge. L'intégration se fait via l'interface CLI de Bitwarden, permettant aux agents IA de générer, récupérer, modifier et verrouiller les identifiants via des commandes sécurisées. Le serveur peut être auto‑hébergé pour un contrôle maximal des données. Le protocole MCP est un standard ouvert qui permet de connecter de façon uniforme des agents IA à des sources de données et outils tiers, simplifiant les intégrations entre LLM et applications. Une démo avec Claude (agent IA d'Anthropic) montre que l'IA peut interagir avec le coffre Bitwarden : vérifier l'état, déverrouiller le vault, générer ou modifier des identifiants, le tout sans intervention humaine directe. Bitwarden affiche une approche priorisant la sécurité, mais reconnaît les risques liés à l'utilisation d'IA autonome. L'usage d'un LLM local privé est fortement recommandé pour limiter les vulnérabilités. Si tu veux, je peux aussi te résumer les enjeux principaux (interopérabilité, sécurité, cas d'usage) ou un extrait spécifique ! NVIDIA a une faille de securite critique https://www.wiz.io/blog/nvidia-ai-vulnerability-cve–2025–23266-nvidiascape Il s'agit d'une faille d'évasion de conteneur dans le NVIDIA Container Toolkit. La gravité est jugée critique avec un score CVSS de 9.0. Cette vulnérabilité permet à un conteneur malveillant d'obtenir un accès root complet sur l'hôte. L'origine du problème vient d'une mauvaise configuration des hooks OCI dans le toolkit. L'exploitation peut se faire très facilement, par exemple avec un Dockerfile de seulement trois lignes. Le risque principal concerne la compromission de l'isolation entre différents clients sur des infrastructures cloud GPU partagées. Les versions affectées incluent toutes les versions du NVIDIA Container Toolkit jusqu'à la 1.17.7 et du NVIDIA GPU Operator jusqu'à la version 25.3.1. Pour atténuer le risque, il est recommandé de mettre à jour vers les dernières versions corrigées. En attendant, il est possible de désactiver certains hooks problématiques dans la configuration pour limiter l'exposition. Cette faille met en lumière l'importance de renforcer la sécurité des environnements GPU partagés et la gestion des conteneurs AI. Fuite de données de l'application Tea : points essentiels https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/the-tea-app-data-leak Tea est une application lancée en 2023 qui permet aux femmes de laisser des avis anonymes sur des hommes rencontrés. En juillet 2025, une importante fuite a exposé environ 72 000 images sensibles (selfies, pièces d'identité) et plus d'1,1 million de messages privés. La fuite a été révélée après qu'un utilisateur ait partagé un lien pour télécharger la base de données compromise. Les données touchées concernaient majoritairement des utilisateurs inscrits avant février 2024, date à laquelle l'application a migré vers une infrastructure plus sécurisée. En réponse, Tea prévoit de proposer des services de protection d'identité aux utilisateurs impactés. Faille dans le paquet npm is : attaque en chaîne d'approvisionnement https://socket.dev/blog/npm-is-package-hijacked-in-expanding-supply-chain-attack Une campagne de phishing ciblant les mainteneurs npm a compromis plusieurs comptes, incluant celui du paquet is. Des versions compromises du paquet is (notamment les versions 3.3.1 et 5.0.0) contenaient un chargeur de malware JavaScript destiné aux systèmes Windows. Ce malware a offert aux attaquants un accès à distance via WebSocket, permettant potentiellement l'exécution de code arbitraire. L'attaque fait suite à d'autres compromissions de paquets populaires comme eslint-config-prettier, eslint-plugin-prettier, synckit, @pkgr/core, napi-postinstall, et got-fetch. Tous ces paquets ont été publiés sans aucun commit ou PR sur leurs dépôts GitHub respectifs, signalant un accès non autorisé aux tokens mainteneurs. Le domaine usurpé [npnjs.com](http://npnjs.com) a été utilisé pour collecter les jetons d'accès via des emails de phishing trompeurs. L'épisode met en lumière la fragilité des chaînes d'approvisionnement logicielle dans l'écosystème npm et la nécessité d'adopter des pratiques renforcées de sécurité autour des dépendances. Revues de sécurité automatisées avec Claude Code https://www.anthropic.com/news/automate-security-reviews-with-claude-code Anthropic a lancé des fonctionnalités de sécurité automatisées pour Claude Code, un assistant de codage d'IA en ligne de commande. Ces fonctionnalités ont été introduites en réponse au besoin croissant de maintenir la sécurité du code alors que les outils d'IA accélèrent considérablement le développement de logiciels. Commande /security-review : les développeurs peuvent exécuter cette commande dans leur terminal pour demander à Claude d'identifier les vulnérabilités de sécurité, notamment les risques d'injection SQL, les vulnérabilités de script intersite (XSS), les failles d'authentification et d'autorisation, ainsi que la gestion non sécurisée des données. Claude peut également suggérer et implémenter des correctifs. Intégration GitHub Actions : une nouvelle action GitHub permet à Claude Code d'analyser automatiquement chaque nouvelle demande d'extraction (pull request). L'outil examine les modifications de code pour y trouver des vulnérabilités, applique des règles personnalisables pour filtrer les faux positifs et commente directement la demande d'extraction avec les problèmes détectés et les correctifs recommandés. Ces fonctionnalités sont conçues pour créer un processus d'examen de sécurité cohérent et s'intégrer aux pipelines CI/CD existants, ce qui permet de s'assurer qu'aucun code n'atteint la production sans un examen de sécurité de base. Loi, société et organisation Google embauche les personnes clés de Windsurf https://www.blog-nouvelles-technologies.fr/333959/openai-windsurf-google-deepmind-codage-agentique/ windsurf devait être racheté par OpenAI Google ne fait pas d'offre de rachat mais débauche quelques personnes clés de Windsurf Windsurf reste donc indépendante mais sans certains cerveaux y compris son PDG. Les nouveaux dirigeants sont les ex leaders des force de vente Donc plus une boîte tech Pourquoi le deal a 3 milliard est tombé à l'eau ? On ne sait pas mais la divergence et l‘indépendance technologique est possiblement en cause. Les transfuge vont bosser chez Deepmind dans le code argentique Opinion Article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dear-people-who-think-ai-low-skilled-code-monkeys-future-jan-moser-svade/ Jan Moser critique ceux qui pensent que l'IA et les développeurs peu qualifiés peuvent remplacer les ingénieurs logiciels compétents. Il cite l'exemple de l'application Tea, une plateforme de sécurité pour femmes, qui a exposé 72 000 images d'utilisateurs en raison d'une mauvaise configuration de Firebase et d'un manque de pratiques de développement sécurisées. Il souligne que l'absence de contrôles automatisés et de bonnes pratiques de sécurité a permis cette fuite de données. Moser avertit que des outils comme l'IA ne peuvent pas compenser l'absence de compétences en génie logiciel, notamment en matière de sécurité, de gestion des erreurs et de qualité du code. Il appelle à une reconnaissance de la valeur des ingénieurs logiciels qualifiés et à une approche plus rigoureuse dans le développement logiciel. YouTube déploie une technologie d'estimation d'âge pour identifier les adolescents aux États-Unis https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/29/youtube-rolls-out-age-estimatation-tech-to-identify-u-s-teens-and-apply-additional-protections/ Sujet très à la mode, surtout au UK mais pas que… YouTube commence à déployer une technologie d'estimation d'âge basée sur l'IA pour identifier les utilisateurs adolescents aux États-Unis, indépendamment de l'âge déclaré lors de l'inscription. Cette technologie analyse divers signaux comportementaux, tels que l'historique de visionnage, les catégories de vidéos consultées et l'âge du compte. Lorsqu'un utilisateur est identifié comme adolescent, YouTube applique des protections supplémentaires, notamment : Désactivation des publicités personnalisées. Activation des outils de bien-être numérique, tels que les rappels de temps d'écran et de coucher. Limitation de la visualisation répétée de contenus sensibles, comme ceux liés à l'image corporelle. Si un utilisateur est incorrectement identifié comme mineur, il peut vérifier son âge via une pièce d'identité gouvernementale, une carte de crédit ou un selfie. Ce déploiement initial concerne un petit groupe d'utilisateurs aux États-Unis et sera étendu progressivement. Cette initiative s'inscrit dans les efforts de YouTube pour renforcer la sécurité des jeunes utilisateurs en ligne. Mistral AI : contribution à un standard environnemental pour l'IA https://mistral.ai/news/our-contribution-to-a-global-environmental-standard-for-ai Mistral AI a réalisé la première analyse de cycle de vie complète d'un modèle d'IA, en collaboration avec plusieurs partenaires. L'étude quantifie l'impact environnemental du modèle Mistral Large 2 sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, la consommation d'eau, et l'épuisement des ressources. La phase d'entraînement a généré 20,4 kilotonnes de CO₂ équivalent, consommé 281 000 m³ d'eau, et utilisé 660 kg SB-eq (mineral consumption). Pour une réponse de 400 tokens, l'impact marginal est faible mais non négligeable : 1,14 gramme de CO₂, 45 mL d'eau, et 0,16 mg d'équivalent antimoine. Mistral propose trois indicateurs pour évaluer cet impact : l'impact absolu de l'entraînement, l'impact marginal de l'inférence, et le ratio inference/impact total sur le cycle de vie. L'entreprise souligne l'importance de choisir le modèle en fonction du cas d'usage pour limiter l'empreinte environnementale. Mistral appelle à plus de transparence et à l'adoption de standards internationaux pour permettre une comparaison claire entre modèles. L'IA promettait plus d'efficacité… elle nous fait surtout travailler plus https://afterburnout.co/p/ai-promised-to-make-us-more-efficient Les outils d'IA devaient automatiser les tâches pénibles et libérer du temps pour les activités stratégiques et créatives. En réalité, le temps gagné est souvent aussitôt réinvesti dans d'autres tâches, créant une surcharge. Les utilisateurs croient être plus productifs avec l'IA, mais les données contredisent cette impression : une étude montre que les développeurs utilisant l'IA prennent 19 % de temps en plus pour accomplir leurs tâches. Le rapport DORA 2024 observe une baisse de performance globale des équipes lorsque l'usage de l'IA augmente : –1,5 % de throughput et –7,2 % de stabilité de livraison pour +25 % d'adoption de l'IA. L'IA ne réduit pas la charge mentale, elle la déplace : rédaction de prompts, vérification de résultats douteux, ajustements constants… Cela épuise et limite le temps de concentration réelle. Cette surcharge cognitive entraîne une forme de dette mentale : on ne gagne pas vraiment du temps, on le paie autrement. Le vrai problème vient de notre culture de la productivité, qui pousse à toujours vouloir optimiser, quitte à alimenter l'épuisement professionnel. Trois pistes concrètes : Repenser la productivité non en temps gagné, mais en énergie préservée. Être sélectif dans l'usage des outils IA, en fonction de son ressenti et non du battage médiatique. Accepter la courbe en J : l'IA peut être utile, mais nécessite des ajustements profonds pour produire des gains réels. Le vrai hack de productivité ? Parfois, ralentir pour rester lucide et durable.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, Luis sits down with someone who knows what it feels like to rise fast, fall hard, and come back stronger. Former WWE wrestler, Tough Enough season 1 winner, and current YouTube powerhouse Maven Huffman joins the pod for a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation about fame, loss, hustle, and personal reinvention.You might remember Maven for one of the most iconic moments in WWE history—eliminating The Undertaker from the 2002 Royal Rumble. That dropkick became a viral moment before viral was even a thing. But after a few years in the spotlight, Maven's WWE run came to an end. And that's where the real story begins.Maven opens up about what life looked like when the cameras stopped rolling. From growing up in a trailer in rural Virginia to losing his mother at a young age to finding a second chance in wrestling—and now, content creation—this conversation dives deep into the ups and downs of chasing your dream and what happens when you lose it all.Luis and Maven talk about the emotional toll of being let go from WWE, the identity crisis that followed, and why it took hitting rock bottom to realize he was more than just a guy in spandex on TV. Maven talks about the importance of being grounded, staying humble, and not letting titles—literal or metaphorical—define your worth.And now? He's thriving. With over 700,000 subscribers and a loyal fanbase, Maven has found a second wind on YouTube by doing something simple but powerful—telling the truth. Whether he's sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his wrestling days, reacting to AI wrestling videos, or diving into the messy politics of the business, Maven has become one of the most respected voices in wrestling content today.In this episode, you'll hear:What it was like meeting Hulk Hogan for the first timeHow being the first Tough Enough winner made him a locker room targetWhy he now considers getting fired from WWE a blessing in disguiseThe personal losses that shaped his resilienceWhat it means to truly start over in your 40sThe real reason he drove 10 hours to film with Buff BagwellHow his partner Zach helped launch one of wrestling's most honest YouTube channelsWhy being vulnerable as a man isn't weakness—it's strengthThis episode isn't just about wrestling—it's about purpose, perspective, and the beauty of second chances. It's about knowing who you are even when the world forgets. It's about rebuilding your life on your terms, with your voice, and your values.If you've ever felt stuck, overlooked, or like your best days were behind you—this one's for you.Highlights Include:How Maven pivoted from teaching, to wrestling, to finance, to YouTubeThe emotional power of hearing his mother's voice on old Tough Enough footageWhy he's not chasing fame—he's chasing peaceWhat he's learned about success, manhood, and doing the right thing even when no one's watchingThe hilarious origin of the nickname “Pussy Magnet” (yes, really)What life is like now—spoiler: it involves movies, good skincare, and a supportive partnerFollow & Connect:Maven Huffman – YouTube, Instagram, and Patreon: @MavenKHuffmanLuis Guzman – Instagram: @ImAnArtistNotASalesmanSubscribe to the podcast on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify: Luis Guzman – I'm an Artist, Not a SalesmanIf this episode hit home, helped you shift your perspective, or just made you laugh—send it to a friend, leave a review, and help us keep pushing these real conversations forward.Thanks for riding with us.Don't stress—bless up.

Summer style isn't over yet, fashion besties! In this week's episode of Wear This Not That, Holly dives headfirst into the dresses of the season—because August may be here, but the summer heat (and summer fashion!) is still going strong.   HOT TIP: Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts, AND watch us on YouTube! And, check out Holly's Pinterest Board this week – see more Summer Dresses than you can wear in one summer!   Whether you're running errands, planning a last-minute getaway, or just want to look fab while grabbing groceries, you'll be covered with dresses that are elegant, flattering, and will be the basis of your summer wardrobe from here on out.    From maxi and midi lengths, night dresses, florals, and top colors of the season, let's make sure you've got the styles that will turn heads, in addition to transitioning you seamlessly into early fall. That's smart shopping.      HOLLY'S SUMMER DRESS PICKS: (And yes, she's done the styling for you. You're welcome.)   The Midi Dress: Style experts and trend setters alike are loving the poplin midi dress this summer. Great for day or night, with a sneaker or a heel, it's chicest one-and-done piece. Look for smocked tops and full skirts to flatter your shape and add movement.   The Night Dress Trend: No, you're not headed to bed—but it might look like it. Think ruffle collars, floaty fabrics, and a hipster-chic twist. British brand If Only If leads the trend, and yes, it can be styled for the street with sandals and a cardi.   Brands to Shop Now: • Ciao Lucia: Smocked-top, spaghetti strap day dresses from LA—feminine, flowy, and just different enough to stand out. • STAUD: We are loving the Delfina silk dress—lace panel, spaghetti straps, and simplicity of this. Belt it and add a jacket for extra credit.  • Rebecca Taylor: She's back with a vengeance. Don't sleep on the Priya poplin shirt dress!  • Proenza Schouler White Label: Check out the sleeveless A-line in vibrant cyan. Great fit and a timeless statement. • Ulla Johnson: Known for her bold prints and flattering silhouettes. Inclusive sizing up to 16, and accessories worth your full attention. • Reformation: The Bryson and Maven dresses are both structured and feminine, with gorgeous necklines and shoulder detail that elevate your entire look to make you look long and lean.   From the Wear This Not That Online Shop: • The Odessa Dress: A toile-printed dream. Deep V, easy fit, non-clingy, and flattering for all body types. Perfect with sneakers or a heel. • The Caftan Dress (available in Concrete Jungle and Zebra Print): Statement sleeve, bold prints, and an optional belt for a cinched look. One sold out already—so move fast!   Fit Tips From Holly: • Bigger bust? Try a halter, boat neck, or off-the-shoulder to draw attention upward. • Small on top? Go for a strapless or one-shoulder dress to balance proportions. • Want to emphasize your waist? Look for A-line cuts or use belts strategically. • Skip the slip dress unless you're totally straight-bodied—it could cling in all the wrong places if you're not careful.      Why Wear This Not? Think of us as the stylist in your back pocket. Every piece Holly recommends (or sells!) is seasonless, ageless, and will put an end to the 'what to wear' epidemic. We take the guesswork out of getting dressed. These are pieces no one else will have. It's curated style that fits your life—and your closet. Holly hand-picks every item for the Wear This Not That online boutique, so you know it's fabulous, functional, and fashion-forward. Shopping has never been easier—or more stylish.     WHERE TO FIND US: SHOP: www.wearthisnotthat.shop Instagram: @wearthisnot_that YouTube: @WearThisNotThat Pinterest: HollyKatzStyling Listen every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you tune in!
