Episode SummaryIn this conversation, Robby sits down with software engineer and author Chris Zetter to explore what building a relational database from scratch can teach us about maintainability, architectural thinking, and team culture. Chris shares why documentation often matters more than perfectly shaped code, why pairing accelerates learning and quality, and why “boring technology” is sometimes the most responsible choice. Together they examine how teams get stuck in local maxima, how junior engineers build confidence, and how coding agents perform when asked to implement a database.Episode Highlights[00:01:00] What Makes Software MaintainableChris explains that well-maintained software is defined by how effectively it helps teams deliver value and respond to change. In some domains—like payroll systems—the maintainability burden shifts toward documentation rather than code organization.[00:03:50] Documentation vs. Code CommentsHe describes visual docs, system diagrams, and commit–ticket links as more durable sources of truth than inline comments, which tend to rot and discourage refactoring.[00:05:15] Rethinking Technical DebtChris argues that teams overuse the metaphor. He prefers naming the specific reason something is slow or brittle—like outdated libraries or rushed decisions—because that builds trust and clarity with product partners.[00:07:45] Where Core Debt Really LivesEarlier in his career he obsessed over long files; now he focuses on structural issues. Architecture, boundaries, and naming affect changeability far more than messy internals.[00:08:15] Pairing as the Default ToolChris loves pairing for its speed, clarity, and shared context. Remote pairing has removed obstacles like mismatched keyboard setups or cramped office seating. Tools like Tuple and Pop keep it smooth.[00:10:20] The Mob Tool and Fast Driver SwitchingHe explains how the Mob CLI tool makes switching drivers nearly instant, which keeps energy high and lets everyone work in their own editor environment, reducing friction and fatigue.[00:13:45] Pairing with Junior EngineersPairing helps newer developers avoid painful pull-request rework and builds confidence. But teams must balance pairing with opportunities for engineers to build autonomy.[00:20:50] Getting Feedback SoonerChris emphasizes speed of feedback: showing progress early to stakeholders prevents wasted days—and sometimes weeks—of heading in the wrong direction.[00:21:10] Boring Technology as a FeatureAfter being burned by abandoned frameworks, Chris champions predictable, well-supported tools for the big layers: language, framework, database. Novelty is great—but only in places where rollback is cheap.[00:23:20] Balancing Professional Development with Organizational NeedsDevelopers want experience with new technology; organizations want stability. Chris describes how leaders can channel curiosity safely and productively.[00:27:20] Build a Database ServerChris's book, Build a Database Server, is a practical, language-agnostic guide to building a relational database from scratch. It uses a test suite as a feedback loop so developers can experiment, refactor, and learn architectural trade-offs along the way.[00:31:45] What Writing the Book Taught HimCreating a database deepened his appreciation for Postgres maintainers. He highlights the number of moving parts—storage engine, type system, query planner, wire protocol—and how academic papers often skip hands-on guidance.[00:33:00] Experimenting with Coding AgentsChris tested coding agents by giving them the book's test suite. They passed many tests but produced brittle, incoherent architecture. Without a feedback loop for quality, the agents aimed only to satisfy test conditions—not build maintainable systems.[00:36:55] Escaping a Local Maxima Through a Design SprintChris shares a story of a team stuck maintaining a system that no longer fit business needs. A design sprint gave them space to reimagine the system, clarify naming, validate concepts, and identify which pieces were worth reusing.[00:40:40] Rewrite vs. RefactorHe leans toward refactor for large systems but supports small, isolated rewrites when boundaries are clear.[00:41:40] Building Trust in Legacy CodeWhen inheriting an old codebase, Chris advises starting with a small bug fix or UI tweak to understand deployment pipelines, test coverage, and failure modes before tackling bigger improvements.[00:43:20] Recommended ReadingChris recommends _Turn the Ship Around! for its lessons on empowering teams to act with intent instead of waiting for permission.Resources MentionedBuild a Database ServerChris Zetter's blogThe Mob Programming CLI ToolTuplePopTurn the Ship Around!Thanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

For episode 625 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node. Autonomous agents across blockchain ecosystems are beginning to transact, communicate, and collaborate independently, yet there is no standardized way to manage agent to agent interactions (payments).Edge & Node, the founding team behind The Graph, is solving this problem by providing the missing management layer, Ampersend. Ampersend extends Coinbase's x402 payment protocol and Google's A2A communication standard with observability, automation, and compliance-ready controls.The result is an operational system where developers, startups, and enterprises can see how agents interact, set policies, manage budgets, and ensure reliability. Ampersend also aligns with Ethereum's emerging ERC-8004 agent discovery standard. ⏳ Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction(1:15) Who is Rodrigo Coelho?(8:57) What is Edge & Node?(10:10) What is Ampersend?(12:35) What will the Agentic economy look like?(18:53) Scaling the Agentic economy(25:42) Neo Robots(26:43) Importance of Agentic verifiability(28:00) Ampersend launch(30:10) Edge & Node roadmap for 2026(32:47) Edge & Node website, socials & community

00:00 – Intro & Banter DJz and Griffin open with a lighthearted “yo” exchange before diving into the day's topic: the November Arc Launch. 02:30 – Outpost Overview & Patch Notes DJz confirms the new Outpost Exchange Material Refinery and material generators—now offering three upgrade brackets instead of two. 05:00 – Material Generators & Scaling Discussion of G5–G7 sourcing, how early-tier players benefit immediately, and why high-tier (G7) players face longer roads. 06:45 – Outpost Fleet Slots Correction DJz admits his earlier info was off: the fourth ship slot won't arrive this month, only two at level 1 and a third unlocked at level 40. 08:30 – Upgrade Value & Player Expectations They predict most players will reach levels 15–20 early, with strong emphasis on the building's buffs and resource bonuses. 09:50 – How Retaliation Targets Work Explaining the new “retaliation target” type—distinct from hostiles or armadas. Only generic officers (e.g., Khan, Nero, Gorkon) will work. 11:00 – Crewing Strategies & Classic Combos Old-school crews like Kirk/Spock/Yuki resurface. Voyager crews, strike teams, and others won't trigger their abilities here. 12:45 – Outpost Mechanics Explained Players use two ships to seize an outpost, then defend it from 72 retaliation waves (five minutes apart) over about five hours. 16:00 – Passive vs. Active Gameplay The defense runs automatically—no need to trigger waves manually. Buffs can be activated mid-battle for stat boosts or mining bonuses. 19:00 – Buff Currency & Strategy Rewards go directly to inventory, not cargo. Players can bank currency for future runs to maximize buffs on the next outpost. 22:00 – Outpost Buff Types & Factions Each target faction (Cardassian, Borg, Node) offers unique buff categories—PvE, utility, and PvP respectively. 25:00 – Leaving or Losing Outposts Leaving ends your buffs immediately. Arena transfers or incursions also break outpost control; the veil and territories are safe. 29:00 – Start Timer Change & QA Notes Community discovers a 3-minute start timer instead of 1; DJz says it adds strategy but invites more PvP risk. Griffin reports a live bug: Away Teams are currently broken. 30:30 – Officer Discussion: Nog Nog's debut ties to his father Rom's legacy. DJz praises the lore while admitting limited gameplay utility unless base-raiding improves. 33:40 – Officer Discussion: The Hierarch Introduces “Carol Freeman 2.0?”—potentially a PvP counter, though effectiveness depends on high tiers. Artwork and narrative praised. 38:30 – New Max Ship XP Button (QoL Update) They test the new instant-max feature: convenient for scrapping but risky for free-to-play players due to auto-Latinum use. 44:50 – Who Benefits Most from Max-All Ideal for heavy spenders; free players must be cautious. Some want sliders added for smaller upgrades during events. 45:50 – Weekly Mission Rollouts & Bug Fixes Missions release weekly this arc; Scopely claims to fix veil recall daily bug and arena entry issue. 47:30 – Mid-Ops Experience Announcement Wardaddy returns to discuss a new mid-ops battle pass later this week, expanding mid-tier gameplay. 49:00 – Chaos Tech Review They dissect “Particle Synthesis” (loot and mining boosts) and “Biomimetic Gel” (PvP buffs). DJz clarifies the math—impressive numbers but balanced impact. 53:40 – New Primes for Outposts Three new primes enhance solo outpost assault, output, and retaliation rewards—though DJz warns their longevity is uncertain. 55:40 – Wrap-Up & Closing Remarks DJz and Griffin summarize the arc, thank listeners, and tease in-game lab testing later that night.

One small but fatal flaw of most LLMs?
Maintaining consistency across a sprawling codebase is one of the hardest challenges in software engineering. Denis Rechkunov, a Principal Software Engineer at Elastic, joins Robby to share how his team turned consistency into a cultural practice rather than a technical checklist. From managing open source projects with hundreds of contributors to experimenting safely with new patterns, Denis believes maintainability begins with shared ownership, not just clean code.He explains how Elastic introduced automation and linters to improve cohesion without discouraging creativity. Instead of enforcing perfection across the entire system, Denis' team scopes their changes to manageable areas and rewards steady progress over sweeping rewrites. Their annual “On Week” tradition gives engineers space to fix what frustrates them most, showing how small, focused bursts of work can produce big leaps in stability and morale.The conversation also explores the human side of maintainability. Denis recalls early lessons about unclear expectations, the importance of documenting decisions in public pull requests, and how open feedback loops build trust across remote teams. Whether it's stabilizing a flaky CI pipeline or mentoring new engineers, Denis argues that technical excellence thrives when consistency becomes a habit shared by everyone.Episode Highlights[00:01:02] Defining Well-Maintained SoftwareDenis identifies consistency, documentation, testability, and agility as the key ingredients of maintainable systems.[00:02:22] Balancing Standards and AutonomyHow automation and linters help preserve code cohesion while minimizing interpersonal friction.[00:04:08] Experimenting SafelyElastic scopes new patterns to low-risk modules before broader adoption, avoiding mass rewrites.[00:07:19] Incremental CleanupLinters only apply to changed files, helping the team fix issues gradually without overwhelming contributors.[00:08:02] Maintainability as a People ProblemDenis highlights that sustainable systems depend more on culture and mentorship than on architecture.[00:10:13] Lessons from MiscommunicationAn early experience showed the cost of undocumented conventions and unclear onboarding.[00:17:09] Making Space for Technical DebtElastic's engineers dedicate part of each sprint and an annual “On Week” to tackle maintenance work.[00:23:05] Restoring CI ReliabilityDenis shares how the team revived a pipeline with only a 10% success rate by categorizing failures and focusing on data.[00:32:00] Practicing Software ArchaeologyHe stresses the value of documenting discussions in pull requests to avoid historical guesswork later.[00:36:09] Feedback and TrustOpen communication, humility, and mutual feedback loops form the backbone of a maintainable culture.[00:51:00] Embracing Chaos in Open SourceDenis encourages teams to accept a degree of entropy and focus their efforts on user-facing stability.[01:00:00] Security and PrivacyWhy maintainability, trust, and privacy are inseparable pillars of long-term sustainability.[01:01:06] Where to StartInstead of rewriting code, start by cultivating maintainability as a shared value across the team.Resources MentionedElasticgolangci-lintAppSignalThe Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov — Denis' recommendation inspired Robby to finally pick up a copy and start reading it himself.Denis's Blog – rdner.deDenis on GitHubDenis on MastodonDenis on LinkedInThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

Episode NotesThe discussion moves into how standards evolve beyond tools, the trade-offs of monocultures vs. consensus-driven teams, and why ownership matters when the original authors move on. Nathan also unpacks the cost of neglect, describing defects as anything that slows developers down—not just issues that impact end users.Later in the conversation, Nathan recounts a migration from a React SPA to Turbo and Stimulus that removed barriers between designers and developers. He highlights how keeping all problems on the radar together prevents teams from falling into local optima. The episode closes with reflections on TestBench, blind spots in testing, continuous improvement in remote teams, and advice for developers who feel stuck raising maintenance concerns.Episode Highlights[00:01:07] Defining Well-Maintained Software: Nathan shares his three key markers—up-to-date dependencies, adherence to team standards, and fixing defects immediately.[00:02:53] From Tools to Tacit Knowledge: Why norms start with tool-enforced rules like RuboCop but evolve into cultural agreements within teams.[00:04:49] Speed vs. Durability: Teams built on monoculture move quickly early on, but diverse, consensus-driven cultures go farther.[00:11:11] Owning the Architecture: When original developers leave, new teams must take responsibility for architecture rather than defer decisions.[00:13:37] The Cost of Neglect: Dependencies, drifting standards, and defects interact in compounding ways. Nathan reframes defects as “anything that impedes developer effectiveness.”[00:17:46] React → Turbo + Stimulus Migration: A costly SPA and siloed design team gave way to a simpler approach that reduced rework and empowered designers to contribute directly.[00:22:44] Avoiding Local Optima: Tackling problems in isolation creates dead ends—addressing them holistically opens real paths forward.[00:24:32] Who We Seek Validation From: Developer identities often align with whose approval they value—shaping front-end vs. back-end divides.[00:27:34] Comfort vs. Maintenance Burden: Silos built for comfort create tomorrow's maintenance problems.[00:33:45] Relentless Improvement in Remote Teams: Start as an ensemble, evolve into autonomous work cells, and use work logs to sustain consensus.[00:38:33] What's Missing from Remote Work: Nathan reflects on lost “hallway conversations” and the challenge of building social glue remotely.[00:40:50] The Story Behind TestBench: Dissatisfaction with existing frameworks and a desire for simplicity led to TestBench's creation.[00:47:38] Testing Blind Spots: The biggest blind spot is equating testing with automation—interactive testing and intelligible output remain essential.[00:50:35] Advice for Stuck Engineers: Nathan encourages developers to study quality traditions, connect with peers, and embrace continuous improvement.[00:53:16] Book Recommendations: Deming's Out of the Crisis and The New Economics, Toyota's product development work, and Rawls' A Theory of Justice.Tools & Resources MentionedBrightworks Digital – Nathan's current company, where he serves as Principal.Nathan Ladd on LinkedIn – Connect with Nathan and follow his work.TestBench – A Ruby testing framework co-created by Nathan.Turbo – Hotwire framework for building modern, fast applications without heavy JavaScript.Stimulus – A modest JavaScript framework for enhancing HTML with small, reusable controllers.RSpec – A popular Ruby testing tool for behavior-driven development.Minitest – A simple and fast Ruby testing framework.RuboCop – A Ruby static code analyzer and formatter.Lessons Learned in Software Testing – Classic book on testing by Cem Kaner, James Bach, and Bret Pettichord.Out of the Crisis – W.

Add your email id here to get this directly to your inbox.Do subscribe to show Minimalist Techie over Apple Or Spotify Or YouTube podcast (Click on Hyperlinks for Apple Or on Spotify Or on YouTube) or hear it over email you received through my subscription or on my website.This weekly newsletter is mostly about the article, books, videos etc. I read or watch or my views on different topics which revolves around my head during the week.Point discussed in this Podcast,Why So Few Tech Jobs for Recent Grads? • The promise vs. the reality • Data showing how entry-level tech hiring has contracted • Why companies demand high experience from newcomers • Role of AI / tooling in shifting the job landscape • What grads and educational systems can do differentlyData Point & Implication* Entry-level hiring by top tech firms dropped by 50% since 2019 San Francisco StandardImplication - The largest tech companies are hiring far fewer fresh grads, undermining the promise of entry-level paths.* The share of tech job ads requiring ≥5 years' experience rose from ~37% to ~42% from 2022 → 2025 Indeed Hiring LabImplication - More roles are shifting toward “mid/senior-level only,” squeezing the bottom tier.* Projections show ~317,700 new job openings per year in U.S. tech & IT occupations through 2034 Bureau of Labor StatisticsImplication - The volume is there—jobs exist—but many are not entry-level or accessible.* Reports show that many grads (esp. CS grads) now face unemployment rates over 6% — double some liberal arts majors The Economic TimesImplication - It's a disruption: even in “hot” fields, grads aren't guaranteed jobs.* Indications that tech postings are down ~36% vs. pre-pandemic levels RedditImplication - The number of roles overall has contracted, increasing competition.Why This Gap Is Widening * Raising experience bars: Companies prefer safer bets — hiring those with track records, rather than investing in freshers. (Data: experience requirement rising)* Risk aversion & cost of training: Startup budgets and corporate HR often don't want or can't afford ramp-up time for newcomers.* AI & automation's shadow: • Some entry-level tasks (simple code, scripts, basic data cleaning) are increasingly tackled by AI/ML tools, reducing demand for junior labor. • This doesn't eliminate the need for human developers — but shifts the requirements higher.* Mismatch of curriculum & industry needs: Education sometimes lags behind tech trends. Graduates might know older languages but not the niche frameworks or cloud / ML / architecture knowledge companies now expect.* Selective hiring & “brand bias”: Companies often prioritize grads from elite universities or known tech schools, exacerbating inequality.* Market cycles & contraction: When the tech bubble deflates or macroeconomic headwinds rise, companies cut or freeze junior hiring first.What Grads / Postgrads Can Do * Build a portfolio of real-world projects • Open-source contributions, personal apps, data projects, internships—even unpaid or side work. • Projects that solve real problems, not toy examples.* Learn the in-demand skills & tools • Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), ML/AI basics, infrastructure, modern frameworks (e.g. React, Node.js), DevOps tools. • Certifications, bootcamps, micro-credentials. • Embrace continuous learning—because tech evolves.* Target smaller companies, startups, non-tech firms • These roles may have lower brand prestige but offer more flexibility and opportunities to learn. • Many “non-tech” companies need developers for automation, internal dashboards, ML, etc.* Network aggressively & find mentors • Use LinkedIn, meetups, hackathons. • Reach out to people in your niche, ask for code reviews, mock interviews, advice.* Be flexible in location / remote work • Don't confine your job search to top-tier cities only. Remote roles open more doors. • Be open to contract / freelance gigs to build experience.* Show results, not credentials • In interviews, emphasize outcomes, metrics, and problem-solving over “courses taken.” • Demonstrate how your work impacted something, however small.* Consider non-traditional entry paths • Apprenticeships, technical residencies, bootcamp-plus internships. • Some tech fellowships let you “earn while learning.”What Institutions & Industry Must DoTo make systemic change, certain players must act:* Universities / colleges: • Update curricula quicker; partner with industry; offer more work-integrated learning programs. • Bridge the gap between theory and current tools.* Tech companies / recruiters: • Re-evaluate job descriptions: reduce arbitrary thresholds (years of experience, brand school). • Build robust junior hire programs; commit to “grow-your-own” talent. • Use transparency in hiring pipelines (publish how many fresh grads hired).* Government / policy makers: • Incentivize companies to hire entry-level talent (tax credits, subsidies for training). • Support tech education & apprenticeships.To conclude, The tech industry can't thrive if new talent is blocked at the door. To preserve innovation, companies must open pathways; graduates must be strategic about learning and positioning themselves.That is all for this week.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWPRODUCED BY Vivien LangfordSeptember 22nd 2025 THE GREAT KOALA NATIONAL PARKGuests:Mark Graham - Restoration Ecologist Virginia Young - Director at Wilderness Australia and global expert on carbon sequestration. https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/wilderness-australia-we-need-real-emissions-reductions-not-offsets The most joyful news after decades of civic action: logging banned in the forests dedicated to The Great Koala National Park.As NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe said “These amazing old-growth forests are among the world's top biodiversity hotspots – home to more than 100 threatened species including greater gliders, the powerful owl and yellow-bellied gliders.”At long last we can praise the state government although there is still a lot to do before this is guaranteed in perpetuity. The Gumbaynggirr and others will be soon weeding and protecting the land around their sacred sites. This park will offer water security for towns along the coast, a safe habitat for countless species and a natural treasure for us all to visit. However, the global Climate, deranged by the fossil fuels we continue to extract for export or burn here, will continue to dry out and threaten these forests. The old growth forest sequesters a lot of carbon but we must not be complacent and think we can use it to offset expanded coal and gas burning through ACCU schemes which are most likely to benefit the biggest carbon emitters in exhuiberant expansions., https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/news/great-koala-national-park We speak to Mark Graham who, like so many others, has risked a lot to advocate for these Gondwanaland forests. He pays tribute to many of the groups and individuals who have worked for this achgievement and firsat among them are the Gumbaynggirr People whose traditional lands are on the mid North Coast, stretching from the Nambucca River in the south to the Clarence River in the north, and inland to the Great Dividing Range. Their country is associated with the area around Coffs Harbour and includes beaches, rivers, estuaries, and mountains. Then we have a song from Carmen Modjito inspired by Greta Thunberg "Our house is on fire" Virginia Young says that Carbon Offsets are used to delay real action on Climate Change and Australia is one of the countries most relying on them instead of rapidly moving away from coal oil and gas.https://wilderness.org.au/forest-carbon-explainedShe speaks of her experience with the Mickisaw Cree People in Canada protecting a freshwater delta in Buffalo National Park and the Kaiapo people in the Amazon who will be present at the upcoming Climate Conference in Belem this November.She says “We also need more investment in energy infrastructure, so local councils, small businesses and other organisations can easily decarbonise. Everywhere, we need to be thinking, ‘What can we actually do to reduce our real emissions?'.”

Modern technology introduces profound privacy and security challenges. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices constantly broadcast identifiers like SSIDs, MAC addresses, and timestamps, which services such as Wigle.net and major tech companies exploit to triangulate precise locations. Users can mitigate exposure by appending _nomap to SSIDs, though protections remain incomplete, especially against companies like Microsoft that use more complex opt-out processes.At the global scale, state-sponsored hacking represents an even larger threat. A Chinese government-backed campaign has infiltrated critical communication networks across 80 nations and at least 200 U.S. organizations, including major carriers. These intrusions enabled extraction of sensitive call records and law enforcement directives, undermining global privacy and revealing how deeply foreign adversaries can map communication flows.AI companies are also reshaping expectations of confidentiality. OpenAI now scans user conversations for signs of harmful intent, with human reviewers intervening and potentially escalating to law enforcement. While the company pledges not to report self-harm cases, the shift transforms ChatGPT from a private interlocutor into a monitored channel, raising ethical questions about surveillance in AI systems. Similarly, Anthropic has adopted a new policy to train its models on user data, including chat transcripts and code, while retaining records for up to five years unless users explicitly opt out by a set deadline. This forces individuals to choose between enhanced AI capabilities and personal privacy, knowing that once data is absorbed into training, confidentiality cannot be reclaimed.Research has further exposed the fragility of chatbot safety systems. By crafting long, grammatically poor run-on prompts that delay punctuation, users can bypass guardrails and elicit harmful outputs. This underscores the need for layered defenses input sanitization, real-time filtering, and improved oversight beyond alignment training alone.Security risks also extend into software infrastructure. Widely used tools such as the Node.js library fast-glob, essential to both civilian and military systems, are sometimes maintained by a single developer abroad. While open-source transparency reduces risk, concentration of control in geopolitically sensitive regions raises concerns about potential sabotage, exploitation, or covert compromise.Meanwhile, regulators are tightening defenses against longstanding consumer threats. The FCC will enforce stricter STIR/SHAKEN rules by September 2025, requiring providers to sign calls with their own certificates instead of relying on third parties. Non-compliance could result in fines and disconnection, offering consumers more reliable caller ID and fewer spoofed robocalls.Finally, ethical boundaries around AI and digital identity are being tested. Meta has faced criticism for enabling or creating AI chatbots that mimic celebrities like Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson without consent, often producing flirty or suggestive interactions. Rival platforms like X s Grok face similar accusations. Beyond violating policies and reputations, the trend of unauthorized digital doubles including of minors raises serious concerns about exploitation, unhealthy attachments, and reputational harm.Together, these cases reveal a central truth: digital systems meant to connect, entertain, and innovate increasingly blur the lines between utility, surveillance, and exploitation. Users and institutions alike must navigate trade-offs between convenience, capability, and control, while regulators and technologists scramble to impose safeguards in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Taylor Otwell, creator of Laravel and CEO of Laravel LLC, joins Robby to reflect on his 14-year journey building and maintaining one of the most popular web frameworks in the world. From its PHP 5.3 origins to a full-time business with a 70-person team, Taylor shares what he's learned about code maintainability, developer experience, and what it means to evolve without overcomplicating things.He discusses the importance of simplicity in software design, why sticking to framework conventions leads to better long-term outcomes, and how his minimalist mindset continues to shape Laravel today. Taylor also opens up about the moment he felt out of ideas, how Laravel's 2024 funding round marked a new chapter, and what it's like to hand off more responsibility while staying involved in the open source core.Episode Highlights[00:01:07] Taylor's Definition of Maintainable Software Simplicity, understandability, and confidence in making changes are key themes in Taylor's approach to longevity in software.[00:02:13] Kenny vs. the Terminator: A Metaphor for Code Why Taylor believes software should be disposable and adaptable, not rigid and overbuilt.[00:05:39] Laravel's Unexpected Traction Taylor shares the early days of Laravel and the moment he realized the project had legs.[00:10:30] Who Laravel Is Built For Taylor talks about designing for the “average developer” and balancing his own preferences with those of a broader community.[00:14:50] Curating a Growing Project—Solo Despite Laravel's scale, Taylor remains the sole curator of the open source core and explains why that hasn't changed (yet).[00:18:00] From Scripts to Business How Laravel's first commercial product came out of a personal need—and pushed Taylor to go full time.[00:20:00] Making Breaking Changes Taylor explains Laravel's evolution and why he now tries to avoid breaking backward compatibility.[00:25:00] Stick to the Conventions The Laravel apps that age best are the ones that don't get too clever, Taylor says—because the clever dev always moves on.[00:27:00] Recognizing “Cleverness” as a Smell Advice for developers who may unknowingly be over-engineering their way into future technical debt.[00:30:00] Making Decisions by Comparing Real Code Taylor explains why he always brings discussions back to reality by looking at code side-by-side.[00:34:00] Dependency Injection vs. Facades Why most Laravel developers stick with facades, and how architectural trends have changed.[00:41:00] Laravel's Evolution Around Static Analysis Taylor talks about embracing PHP's maturing type system while staying true to the dynamic roots of the framework.[00:43:00] A Shift in Laravel's Testing Culture How Adam Wathan's course reshaped the community's approach to feature testing in Laravel apps.[00:48:09] What Keeps Laravel Interesting Now Taylor reflects on transitioning from solving his own problems to empowering a larger team—and why that's the new challenge.Resources & LinksLaravelLaravel ChangelogTaylor on X (Twitter)Taylor on BlueskyElements of Style – William Strunk Jr.Adam Wathan's “Test-Driven Laravel” courseThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

The latest craze for MCP this week? Instead of multiple MCP servers with different tools, use an MCP server that accepts programming code as tool inputs - a single “ubertool” if you will. AI agents like Claude Code are pretty good at writing code, but letting the agent write and execute code to invoke API functions instead of using a defined MCP server doesn't seem like the most efficient use of LLM tokens, but it's another approach to consider.In infrastructure news, there's a library called Alchemy that lets devs write their Infrastructure as Code in pure TypeScript. No Terraform files, no dependencies, just async functions, stored in plain JSON files, that runs anywhere JS can run. For web devs, the future of IaC has arrived.Next.js has made their last big release before v16 in the form of 15.5. Highlights of this minor release include: production turbopack builds, stable support for the Node.js runtime in middleware, fully typed routes, and deprecation warnings in preparation for Next.js 16.Timestamps:00:57 - Dangers of the “ubertool”09:54 - Alchemy Infrastructure as Code (IaC)15:27 - Next.js 15.524:57 - How CodeRabbit AI got hacked27:48 - 32:37 - Claudia41:31 - hidden=until-found45:26 - What's making us happyLinks:Paige - Alchemy Infrastructure as Code (IaC)Jack - Dangers of the “ubertool”TJ - Next.js 15.5How CodeRabbit AI got hackedClaudiahidden=until-foundPaige - The Art Thief bookJack - Alien: Earth TV seriesTJ - Pips NYT gameThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I discussed the idea of listening to the radio spectrum across the internet for the purposes of getting signal into your shack when radios, or in my case, antennas are causing you challenges. I continued to explore and discovered a project by Jacobo EA1ITI, called "radioreceiver". Behind that unassuming name lies a tool born in 2014, that allows you to plug an RTL-SDR dongle into your computer, open up your web-browser, and listen to the radio signals that your dongle can receive. In case you're unfamiliar, an RTL-SDR dongle is a small USB device, looks a lot like a USB thumb drive, jump drive, data stick or flash drive, basically a hunk of plastic with a USB connector on it. An RTL-SDR dongle generally also has some form of antenna connector. It's typically sold as a digital radio and digital television receiver, but websites like rtl-sdr.com sell purpose built ones. They can be found starting at about $15. I realise that this is using a local receiver, with a local antenna, but it's inside a web browser, which is half of what I expected. When you hit the play button in the bottom of the screen, you'll be prompted by your web browser to give permission to access your RTL-SDR dongle and the fun starts. You'll see a live waterfall, hear audio, and have the ability to tune to any frequency you can reach. Depending on your dongle, typically somewhere between 500 kHz and 1.76 GHz. The application consists of seven files, a total of 352 kilobytes that you can store on any web server and run, with one caveat, in order for your web browser to talk to your dongle, it needs to be served using HTTPS. Jacobo has set-up radio.ea1iti.es and I've set-up sdr.vk6flab.com, both showing the same tool. You'll find the code on my VK6FLAB GitHub repository, and of course on Jacobo's. There are some things you need to know. You will need to use a web browser that supports WebUSB, currently that's Chrome, Edge, Opera and several others, sorry, Safari and Firefox don't .. perhaps it's time to talk to Apple and Mozilla. All is explained if you click on the little question mark at the bottom of the screen, it will even tell you if the browser you're using to read the help is compatible or not. If you have an Android phone, you can run this tool too, although you will need to find a way to connect your dongle to your phone. I'm currently limited in my ability to test this and you may need to install some drivers on Windows and Linux, but MacOS and presumably Android, works out of the box. The software also supports offline operation, so you can load it as a Progressive Web App, or PWA, and use it in the field away from the internet. Did I mention that all the decoding is happening inside the web browser, so you can see which code is doing what .. and before you ask, yes, it's minimised in the browser, which you can make into human readable code, but when you look at the source, it shows precisely what is happening, all written in Node.js, TypeScript and JavaScript. It supports CW, SSB, AM, Narrow and Wideband FM and decodes stereo, something which none of my amateur radios do. You might be able to tell that I'm excited. It's because this is providing the basic functionality of a radio inside a web browser, and I didn't need to install it to get started. On the Macintosh I tested this on, I literally opened the web page, plugged in a dongle and hit play. Just so we're clear, just because this is using a web page on a web server, you accessing it will only give you access to your radio not mine. This of course opens the doors to all manner of other fun stuff which I'm expecting to play with for the next little while, and yes, this is also Bald Yak adjacent, I'm aware. In the meantime, you can play with this right now, sdr.vk6flab.com is the place to go. Word of warning, it's addictive and easy to forget it's a radio with an antenna plugged into your computer, so take precautions when electrical storms are about. Look forward to hearing what you discover. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Robby is joined by Sara Jackson, Senior Developer at thoughtbot, to explore the practical ways teams can foster resilience—not just in their infrastructure, but in their everyday habits. They talk about why documentation is more than a chore, how to build trust in test suites, and how Chaos Engineering at the application layer can help make the case for long-term investment in maintainability.Sara shares why she advocates for writing documentation on day one, how “WET” test practices have helped her avoid brittle test suites, and why she sees ports as a powerful alternative to full rewrites. They also dive into why so many teams overlook failure scenarios that matter deeply to end users—and how being proactive about those situations can shape better products and stronger teams.Episode Highlights[00:01:28] What Well-Maintained Software Looks Like: Sara champions documentation that's trusted, updated, and valued by the team.[00:07:23] Invisible Work and Team Culture: Robby and Sara discuss how small documentation improvements often go unrecognized—and why leadership buy-in matters.[00:10:34] Why Documentation Should Start on Day One: Sara offers a “hot take” about writing things down early to reduce cognitive load.[00:16:00] What Chaos Engineering Really Is: Sara explains the scientific roots of the practice and its DevOps origins.[00:20:00] Application-Layer Chaos Engineering: How fault injection can reveal blind spots in the user experience.[00:24:36] Observability First: Why you need the right visibility before meaningful chaos experiments can begin.[00:28:32] Pitching Resilience to Stakeholders: Robby and Sara explore how chaos experiments can justify broader investments in system quality.[00:33:24] WET Tests vs. DRY Tests: Sara explains why test clarity and context matter more than clever abstractions.[00:40:43] Working on Client Refactors: How Sara approaches improving test coverage before diving into major changes.[00:42:11] Rewrite vs. Refactor vs. Port: Sara introduces “porting” as a more intentional middle path for teams looking to evolve their systems.[00:50:45] Delete More Code: Why letting go of unused features can create forward momentum.[00:51:13] Recommended Reading: Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz.Resources & LinksSara on MastodonthoughtbotRubyConf 2024 Talk – Chaos Engineering on the Death StarBook: Being Wrong by Kathryn SchulzFlu Shot on GitHubChaosRB on GitHubSemian from Shopify — a chaos engineering toolkit for RubyThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!
