We remember guitarist, songwriter, and producer Steve Cropper, who helped create the Memphis soul sound of the ‘60s and ‘70s. He died this week at age 84. Stax Records produced soul hits by Booker T. & the M.G.s, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, and more. Cropper spoke with Terry Gross in 1990 about how he became part of the house rhythm section, and went on to help write hits for Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. Also, we remember the celebrated English playwright Tom Stoppard, who was considered a giant of theatre. He died at age 88. Stoppard wrote ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' and ‘The Real Thing,' and the screenplays for ‘Empire of the Sun' and ‘Shakespeare in Love.'Jazz historian Kevin Whitehead pays tribute to jazz organist Jimmy Smith, and John Powers reviews the new Brazilian film ‘The Secret Agent.'Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
Andrew kicks off at 8 a.m. with six Docker containers running, and he and Chris dive into what modern Rails development looks like inside dev containers—covering Rails' own images and features, using Mise and Playwright instead of Selenium, and why OrbStack has replaced Docker Desktop on their Macs. They talk through the trade-offs of running services in containers, the quirks of Kamal's new local registry, and how Chris is turning all of this into a practical SaaS building series that shows real-world deployment and scaling with tools like JudoScale. Along the way, they weave in life updates about new babies, daycare costs, and even the power needs of AI data centers and nuclear energy. Press download now to hear more!

David Ireland is an Irish playwright with a reputation for writing hard-hitting drama such as The Fifth Step, Ulster American and Cypress Avenue, but director Max Elton is reviving a very different play by him, Most Favoured, which can be seen at Soho Theatre in London over the Christmas period. BTG David Chadderton spoke to David about the play and his influences as a writer, as well as how his love of Shakespeare began in a Blackpool guest house at the age of 9 and why he wants to write romantic comedies and feels he couldn't face watching some of his earlier plays now. Most Favoured, starring Lauren Lyle and Alexander Arnold, will run at Soho Theatre in London from 11 December 2025 to 24 January 2026. (David Ireland photo credit Tommy Ga-Ken Wan)

Prodcast: ПоиÑк работы в IT и переезд в СШÐ
У меня в гостях Антон Денисенко — QA-инженер с 13-летним опытом, который прошёл через один из самых тяжелых периодов в карьере: потерю работы во время беременности жены, полгода отказов и десятки онлайн-интервью, которые так и не сработали.В этом выпуске мы подробно разобрали, как изменилась индустрия QA к 25 году: почему входящие запросы от рекрутеров почти исчезли, как индийские «прокладки» создают хаос на рынке, что происходит внутри крупных рекрутинговых агентств и как компании на самом деле выбирают кандидатов. Обсудили, почему Антон проваливал видеоинтервью и как первое очное собеседование полностью изменило его траекторию. Разобрали реальные кейсы найма — от того, кого сразу отсеивают по LinkedIn-профилю, до историй о провале офера из-за одной строчки в резюме.Мы также поговорили о том, что сегодня действительно работает в поиске работы для QA: автоматизация, Playwright, грамотное общение с рекрутерами, обновление навыков и умение адаптировать резюме под каждую роль.Антон Денисенко (Anton Denysenko) — QA Engineer 13-летним опытом в американских компаниях LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antondenysenko/Записывайтесь на карьерную консультацию (резюме, LinkedIn, карьерная стратегия, поиск работы в США):https://annanaumova.comКоучинг (синдром самозванца, прокрастинация, неуверенность в себе, страхи, лень):https://annanaumova.notion.site/3f6ea5ce89694c93afb1156df3c903abОнлайн курс "Идеальное резюме и поиск работы в США":https://go.mbastrategy.com/resumecoursemainГайд "Идеальное американское резюме":https://go.mbastrategy.com/usresumeГайд "Как оформить профиль в LinkedIn, чтобы рекрутеры не смогли пройти мимо":https://go.mbastrategy.com/linkedinguideМой Telegram-канал: https://t.me/prodcastUSA Мой Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prodcast.us/Prodcast в соцсетях и на всех подкаст платформах:https://linktr.ee/prodcastUS⏰ Timecodes ⏰00:00 Начало6:08 Когда и почему ты потерял работу в марте 2025?

My guest today is a woman on a mission to preserve the language of her grandparents. Playwright, screenwriter and novelist Samantha Ellis is the author of one of my personal favourites How To Be A Heroine. Sam was in her early 40s and a new mum when it dawned on her that her mother tongue - or milk language - was on the verge of dying out. The daughter of Iraqi-Jewish refugees, Sam grew up surrounded by the noisy vivid hot sounds of Judeo-Iraqi Arabic, but when she tried to tell her son he was chopping onions on her heart, she realised she couldn't find the words - and even if she could, he wouldn't understand them. In her evocatively titled book of the same name, Sam goes back through the lives of her parents and grandparents, from Iraq to Israel to London and in so doing discovers far more about herself than she could ever have imagined. Sam takes us on a journey back to 1950s Baghdad to share what she discovered about herself and her family heritage and how it's shaped her as she heads towards 50. We also discussed intergenerational trauma, uses for coriander, cooking as a cure for overthinking, learning to belly dance and the unexpected joy of not being allowed to hold your stomach in! * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including Chopping Onions on My Heart by Samantha Ellis as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 47! We're huge fans of East West Players, and our guest this episode, Dom Magwili, has worked with them since 1974. If that's all he did, it would be an amazing career. However, Dom has also been an actor, director, educator, and author. His latest work is Scientific Dragons: The Adventure of Ensun Castle. It's an entertaining and thrilling adventure that mixes historical figures, key fictional characters, Filipino culture, and a healthy dose of imagination in a steampunk environment. Among the work he's created for stage and screen include Much Adobo About Nothing, A Jive Bomber's Christmas (which had a 10-year run at the Japanese American National Museum), and One Puka Puka Christmas. His first book was Legends from the First Hemisphere: The Infernal Promise. In our conversation, Dom shares what inspired him to pursue creativity as a profession, his journey to being an author, some of the themes of Scientific Dragons, and more. To learn more about Dom, you can visit his website, follow him on Instagram @dmagwili, and, of course buy Scientific Dragons or The Infernal Promise.

L'article de Guillaume montre comment créer une petite interface pour créer et modifier des images avec le modèle génératif Nano Banana Un deuxième article montre comment utiliser Javelit pour créer une interface de chat avec LangChain4j https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/10/25/creating-a-javelit-chat-interface-for-langchain4j/ Améliorer l'accessibilité avec les applis JetPack Compose https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/10/29/rendre-son-application-accessible-avec-jetpack-compose/ TalkBack est le lecteur d'écran Android qui vocalise les éléments sélectionnés pour les personnes malvoyantes Accessibility Scanner et les outils Android Studio détectent automatiquement les problèmes d'accessibilité statiques Les images fonctionnelles doivent avoir un contentDescription, les images décoratives contentDescription null Le contraste minimum requis est de 4.5:1 pour le texte normal et 3:1 pour le texte large ou les icônes Les zones cliquables doivent mesurer au minimum 48dp x 48dp pour faciliter l'interaction Les formulaires nécessitent des labels visibles permanents et non de simples placeholders qui disparaissent Modifier.semantics permet de définir l'arbre sémantique lu par les lecteurs d'écran Les propriétés mergeDescendants et traversalIndex contrôlent l'ordre et le regroupement de la lecture Diriger le navigateur Chrome avec le modèle Gemini Computer Use https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/03/driving-a-web-browser-with-gemini-computer-use-model-in-java/ Objectif : Automatiser la navigation web en Java avec le modèle "Computer Use" de Gemini 2.5 Pro. Modèle "Computer Use" : Gemini analyse des captures d'écran et génère des actions d'interface (clic, saisie, etc.). Outils : Gemini API, Java, Playwright (pour l'interaction navigateur). Fonctionnement : Boucle agent où Gemini reçoit une capture, propose une action, Playwright l'exécute, puis une nouvelle capture est envoyée à Gemini. Implémentation clé : Toujours envoyer une capture d'écran à Gemini après chaque action pour qu'il comprenne l'état actuel. Défis : Lenteur, gestion des CAPTCHA et pop-ups (gérables). Potentiel : Automatisation des tâches web répétitives, création d'agents autonomes. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Apicurio ajoute le support de nouveaux schema sans reconstruire Apicurio https://www.apicur.io/blog/2025/10/27/custom-artifact-types Apicurio Registry 3.1.0 permet d'ajouter des types d'artefacts personnalisés au moment du déploiement sans recompiler le projet Supporte nativement OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Avro, JSON Schema, Protobuf, GraphQL, WSDL et XSD Trois approches d'implémentation disponibles : classes Java pour la performance maximale, JavaScript/TypeScript pour la facilité de développement, ou webhooks pour une flexibilité totale Configuration via un simple fichier JSON pointant vers les implémentations des composants personnalisés Les scripts JavaScript sont exécutés via QuickJS dans un environnement sandboxé sécurisé Un package npm TypeScript fournit l'autocomplétion et la sécurité de type pour le développement Six composants optionnels configurables : détection automatique de type, validation, vérification de compatibilité, canonicalisation, déréférencement et recherche de références Cas d'usage typiques : formats propriétaires internes, support RAML, formats legacy comme WADL, schémas spécifiques à un domaine métier Déploiement simple via Docker en montant les fichiers de configuration et scripts comme volumes Les performances varient selon l'approche : Java offre les meilleures performances, JavaScript un bon équilibre, webhooks la flexibilité maximale Le truc interessant c'est que c'est Quarkus based et donc demandait le rebuilt donc pour eviter cela, ils ont ajouter QuickJS via Chicorey un moteur WebAssembly GPT 5.1 pour les développeurs est sorti. https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-1-for-developers/ C'est le meilleur puisque c'est le dernier :slightly_smiling_face: Raisonnement Adaptatif et Efficace : GPT-5.1 ajuste dynamiquement son temps de réflexion en fonction de la complexité de la tâche, le rendant nettement plus rapide et plus économique en jetons pour les tâches simples, tout en maintenant des performances de pointe sur les tâches difficiles. Nouveau Mode « Sans Raisonnement » : Un mode (reasoning_effort='none') a été introduit pour les cas d'utilisation sensibles à la latence, permettant une réponse plus rapide avec une intelligence élevée et une meilleure exécution des outils. Cache de Prompt Étendu : La mise en cache des invites est étendue jusqu'à 24 heures (contre quelques minutes auparavant), ce qui réduit la latence et le coût pour les interactions de longue durée (chats multi-tours, sessions de codage). Les jetons mis en cache sont 90 % moins chers. Améliorations en Codage : Le modèle offre une meilleure personnalité de codage, une qualité de code améliorée et de meilleures performances sur les tâches d'agenticité de code, atteignant 76,3 % sur SWE-bench Verified. Nouveaux Outils pour les Développeurs : Deux nouveaux outils sont introduits ( https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/build_a_coding_agent_with_gpt-5.1 ) : L'outil apply_patch pour des modifications de code plus fiables via des diffs structurés. L'outil shell qui permet au modèle de proposer et d'exécuter des commandes shell sur une machine locale, facilitant les boucles d'inspection et d'exécution. Disponibilité : GPT-5.1 (ainsi que les modèles gpt-5.1-codex) est disponible pour les développeurs sur toutes les plateformes API payantes, avec les mêmes tarifs et limites de débit que GPT-5. Comparaison de similarité d'articles et de documents avec les embedding models https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/12/finding-related-articles-with-vector-embedding-models/ Principe : Convertir les articles en vecteurs numériques ; la similarité sémantique est mesurée par la proximité de ces vecteurs. Démarche : Résumé des articles via Gemini-2.5-flash. Conversion des résumés en vecteurs (embeddings) par Gemini-embedding-001. Calcul de la similarité entre vecteurs par similarité cosinus. Affichage des 3 articles les plus pertinents (>0.75) dans le frontmatter Hugo. Bilan : Approche "résumé et embedding" efficace, pragmatique et améliorant l'engagement des lecteurs. Outillage Composer : Nouveau modèle d'agent rapide pour l'ingénierie logicielle - https://cursor.com/blog/composer Composer est un modèle d'agent conçu pour l'ingénierie logicielle qui génère du code quatre fois plus rapidement que les modèles similaires Le modèle est entraîné sur de vrais défis d'ingénierie logicielle dans de grandes bases de code avec accès à des outils de recherche et d'édition Il s'agit d'un modèle de type mixture-of-experts optimisé pour des réponses interactives et rapides afin de maintenir le flux de développement L'entraînement utilise l'apprentissage par renforcement dans divers environnements de développement avec des outils comme la lecture de fichiers, l'édition, les commandes terminal et la recherche sémantique Cursor Bench est un benchmark d'évaluation basé sur de vraies demandes d'ingénieurs qui mesure la correction et le respect des abstractions du code existant Le modèle apprend automatiquement des comportements utiles comme effectuer des recherches complexes, corriger les erreurs de linter et écrire des tests unitaires L'infrastructure d'entraînement utilise PyTorch et Ray avec des kernels MXFP8 pour entraîner sur des milliers de GPUs NVIDIA Le système exécute des centaines de milliers d'environnements de codage sandboxés concurrents dans le cloud pour l'entraînement Composer est déjà utilisé quotidiennement par les développeurs de Cursor pour leur propre travail Le modèle se positionne juste derrière GPT-5 et Sonnet 4.5 en termes de performance sur les benchmarks internes Rex sur l'utilisation de l'IA pour les développeurs, un gain de productivité réel et des contextes adaptés https://mcorbin.fr/posts/2025-10-17-genai-dev/ Un développeur avec 18 ans d'expérience partage son retour sur l'IA générative après avoir changé d'avis Utilise exclusivement Claude Code dans le terminal pour coder en langage naturel Le "vibe coding" permet de générer des scripts et interfaces sans regarder le code généré Génération rapide de scripts Python pour traiter des CSV, JSON ou créer des interfaces HTML Le mode chirurgien résout des bugs complexes en one-shot, exemple avec un plugin Grafana fixé en une minute Pour le code de production, l'IA génère les couches repository, service et API de manière itérative, mais le dev controle le modele de données Le développeur relit toujours le code et ajuste manuellement ou via l'IA selon le besoin L'IA ne remplacera pas les développeurs car la réflexion, conception et expertise technique restent essentielles La construction de produits robustes, scalables et maintenables nécessite une expérience humaine L'IA libère du temps sur les tâches répétitives et permet de se concentrer sur les aspects complexes ce que je trouve interessant c'est la partie sur le code de prod effectivement, je corrige aussi beaucoup les propositions de l'IA en lui demandant de faire mieux dans tel ou tel domaine Sans guide, tout cela serait perdu Affaire a suivre un article en parallele sur le métier de designer https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/11/03/lia-ne-remplace-pas-un-designer-elle-amplifie-la-difference-entre-faire-et-bien-faire/ Plus besoin de se rappeler les racourcis dans IntelliJ idea avec l'universal entry point https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2025/11/universal-entry-point-a-single-entry-point-for-context-aware-coding-assistance/ IntelliJ IDEA introduit Command Completion, une nouvelle façon d'accéder aux actions de l'IDE directement depuis l'éditeur Fonctionne comme la complétion de code : tapez point (.) pour voir les actions contextuelles disponibles Tapez double point (..) pour filtrer et n'afficher que les actions disponibles Propose des corrections, refactorings, génération de code et navigation selon le contexte Complète les fonctionnalités existantes sans les remplacer : raccourcis, Alt+Enter, Search Everywhere Facilite la découverte des fonctionnalités de l'IDE sans interrompre le flux de développement En Beta dans la version 2025.2, sera activé par défaut dans 2025.3 Support actuel pour Java et Kotlin, avec actions spécifiques aux frameworks comme Spring et Hibernate Homebrew, package manage pour macOS et Linux passe en version 5 https://brew.sh/2025/11/12/homebrew-5.0.0/ Téléchargements Parallèles par Défaut : Le paramètre HOMEBREW_DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY=auto est activé par défaut, permettant des téléchargements concurrents pour tous les utilisateurs, avec un rapport de progression. Support Linux ARM64/AArch64 en Tier 1 : Le support pour Linux ARM64/AArch64 a été promu au niveau "Tier 1" (support officiel de premier plan). Feuille de Route pour les Dépréciations macOS : Septembre 2026 (ou plus tard) : Homebrew ne fonctionnera plus sur macOS Catalina (10.15) et versions antérieures. macOS Intel (x86_64) passera en "Tier 3" (fin du support CI et des binaires précompilés/bottles). Septembre 2027 (ou plus tard) : Homebrew ne fonctionnera plus sur macOS Big Sur (11) sur Apple Silicon ni du tout sur Intel (x86_64). Sécurité et Casks : Dépréciation des Casks sans signature de code. Désactivation des Casks échouant aux vérifications Gatekeeper en septembre 2026. Les options --no-quarantine et --quarantine sont dépréciés pour ne plus faciliter le contournement des fonctionnalités de sécurité de macOS. Nouvelles Fonctionnalités & Améliorations : Support officiel pour macOS 26 (Tahoe). brew bundle supporte désormais l'installation de packages Go via un Brewfile. Ajout de la commande brew info --sizes pour afficher la taille des formulae et casks. La commande brew search --alpine permet de chercher des packages Alpine Linux. Architecture Selon l'analyste RedMonk, Java reste très pertinent dans l'aire de l'IA et des agents https://redmonk.com/jgovernor/java-relevance-in-the-ai-era-agent-frameworks-emerge/ Java reste pertinent à l'ère de l'IA, pas besoin d'apprendre une pile technique entièrement nouvelle. Capacité d'adaptation de Java ("anticorps") aux innovations (Big Data, cloud, IA), le rendant idéal pour les contextes d'entreprise. L'écosystème JVM offre des avantages sur Python pour la logique métier et les applications sophistiquées, notamment en termes de sécurité et d'évolutivité. Embabel (par Rod Johnson, créateur de Spring) : un framework d'agents fortement typé pour JVM, visant le déterminisme des projets avant la génération de code par LLM. LangChain4J : facilite l'accès aux capacités d'IA pour les développeurs Java, s'aligne sur les modèles d'entreprise établis et permet aux LLM d'appeler des méthodes Java. Koog (Jetbrains) : framework d'agents basé sur Kotlin, typé et spécifique aux développeurs JVM/Kotlin. Akka : a pivoté pour se concentrer sur les flux de travail d'agents IA, abordant la complexité, la confiance et les coûts des agents dans les systèmes distribués. Le Model Context Protocol (MCP) est jugé insuffisant, manquant d'explicabilité, de découvrabilité, de capacité à mélanger les modèles, de garde-fous, de gestion de flux, de composabilité et d'intégration sécurisée. Les développeurs Java sont bien placés pour construire des applications compatibles IA et intégrer des agents. Des acteurs majeurs comme IBM, Red Hat et Oracle continuent d'investir massivement dans Java et son intégration avec l'IA. Sécurité AI Deepfake, Hiring … A danger réel https://www.eu-startups.com/2025/10/european-startups-get-serious-about-deepfakes-as-ai-fraud-losses-surpass-e1-3-billion/ Pertes liées aux deepfakes en Europe : > 1,3 milliard € (860 M € rien qu'en 2025). Création de deepfakes désormais possible pour quelques euros. Fraudes : faux entretiens vidéo, usurpations d'identité, arnaques diverses. Startups actives : Acoru, IdentifAI, Trustfull, Innerworks, Keyless (détection et prévention). Réglementation : AI Act et Digital Services Act imposent transparence et contrôle. Recommandations : vérifier identités, former employés, adopter authentification multi-facteurs.

Strategic Technology Consultation Services This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Strategic Technology Consultation Services. If you're an SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) leader wondering why your technology investments aren't delivering, or you're facing critical decisions about AI, modernization, or team productivity, let's talk. Show Notes "It's not just guessing. It's not just saying, "oh, there's something to log in. I think we'll call the button login." It actually knows the button is called Login, it's seen it. So that makes a big difference and makes it much more resilient. So that's definitely a big change, right? It's not just guessing. So definitely you should try it out."— Debbie O'Brien Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem. Today, we're joined by Debbie O'Brien to talk about both Playwright and the Playwright MCP server. We started with an introduction to Playwright, and talked about how both it and the MCP server for it can help you to automate both the writing and running of tests for your applications. Pro tip: If you've been using the Swagger UI in your applications, you've been using Open API. "And that's where the Playwright MCP comes In because it can automate a browser, it can basically go to the website, it can navigate, it can click, it can hover, it can do everything that you are doing in your tests."— Debbie O'Brien Along the way, we talked about how Playwright's MCP server can help you to find test cases that you might not have thought of initially. As a perfect example of this while recording this episode, Debbie found a bug in the app that I use to record episodes of the show, and talked about how Playwright MCP would help to recreate and debug the issue. It's worth pointing out that we recorded this in early August 2025, and that AI quite literally moves very rapidly. Whilst Playwright and MCP servers are not likely to change too much between recording the episode an when it went out, it'll be worth bearing that in mind as we talk about some of the AI stuff.

Send us a textDietrich Smith jumped into the Playwright's Spotlight after the opening of his World Premiere adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel Amerika. We explore his background as the literary manager at the Open Fist Theatre Company and the trends he observed from submissions. We speak about establishing theme and whose story it is in a piece, mapping the journey, approaching adaptation, and the history of Kafka's Amerika. We delve into writing an ending to an incomplete work, cutting what you love, the length of plays in modern theatre, the politics of production, reversals, learning playwriting by doing, and the concept of no rules in theatre. We wrap our conversation up the benefits of having been a story editor, holding interest and learning from the greats and, finally, his dive into acting and becoming a playwright.

Send us a textSofia Streisand dropped into Playwright's Spotlight to discuss the U.S. premiere of her play Bluebeard's Castle (that I misspoke as Blackbeard's) November 1st through November 23rd. In this discussion, we discuss the difference between Russian, European, and American theatre, her journey from musical theatre to playwriting, writing multiple voices, and writing for specific actors and their cadence, mannerisms, and nuances. We unpack writing in a second language, the concept of and recognizing imposter syndrome, writing bilingually, refraining to avoid offense, and introducing sensitive topics. We follow up with "weight bearing" walls, inspirational feedback, when a show is born, the difficulty/benefits or wearing different hats, as well as adding layers and references. It's a brilliant interview discussing cultural aspects of playwriting we can all acquire from. Another great learning experience I know you will learn from. Enjoy!Sofia Streisand is producer, director, and playwright born in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Consider yourself cordially invited to Brendan Healy’s memorial service. That’s because the Seattle playwright is sharing his experience of living with, and dying from, a terminal illness. His newest play is called "Eulogy, or How to Plan Your Own Funeral (and have fun doing it!)" If you go, you’ll get a front-row seat to remembrances of Healy’s life. But the play also promises audiences pictures of puppies, so there’s a little bit of something for everyone. He’s putting the production on through Pony World Theatre, which he co-founded in 2009. It opens on October 23 at 12th Avenue Arts, so we caught up with Brendan before he hits the stage.

Send us a textAnkita Raturi basked under the Playwright's Spotlight for the World Premiere of her play Neha & Neel. In this discussion we break down the concept of applied theatre and being a teaching artist, how it effects character, exercises that extrude character and whether or not the practice makes it into a piece. We unpack earning a monologue, the first steps of playwriting, writing bi-lingually, dramaturgical playwriting, and the audience's experience. We also discuss finding directors for foreign language pieces, writing multiple characters for one actor, discovering "magic" in grad school, self producing, keeping notes, ego, and good ideas, and clear guidelines and the ethics of paying fees to have one's work read. Ankita is a force to be reckoned with that every playwright can learn from.

Maya sits down with Jerry Slaff, a playwright and and a writer who stutters, for a conversation about voice, craft, and the lifelong arc from fear to freedom. Jerry first reached out to Proud Stutter back in December 2021, writing, “once a stutterer, always a stutterer… if people don't like my speech, that's their problem.” We revisit that email and trace how age, practice, and community reshaped his relationship to speaking, onstage, at work, and in everyday life.Jerry reflects on building a career that demanded communication, from press briefings, talkbacks, to cold reads, and how stuttering shows up differently across contexts (ease during prepared talkbacks vs. blocks in table reads). We explore his love of radio storytelling, the writers who formed his ear for dialogue, and his new creative chapters: a two-hander play set in 1950s America and a novel that includes a 12-year-old character who stutters. Along the way, we talk representation (what lands, what harms), allyship across disability communities, and the simple rule that guides him now: “Not caring is a great freedom.”MentionedA recent documentary about Marlee Matlin that sparked a cross-disability allyship convoLies (Jerry's play)Film IG: @saintstephenfilm - following helps us show funders there's a community behind the story.Event recap & donation links-----Big thanks to Proud Stutter's recurring supporters: Jennifer Bolen, Jerry Slaff, Josh Compton, Pablo Meza, Matt Didisheim, Alexandra Mosby, Ingo Helbig, Jonathan Reiss, Jason Smith, Paige McGill, Wayne Engebretson, Swathy Manavalan, and Martha Horrocks.Learn more about Proud Stutter's impact campaign for its film project at proudstutter.org/impactIf you can become a monthly donor at $10 or more, we'll give you access to ad-free episodes and bonus Proud Stutter+ content as a token of our thanks!

Thai American playwright Prince Gomolvilas first appeared on this show in 2019 to promote The Brothers Paranormal which would soon become his penultimate play in his long career. This week I invited him back because he's written the much-awaited 'spiritual sequel' Paranormal Inside, which will begin its rolling world premiere at East West Players' David Henry Hwang Theater from October 12 through November 2. (www.eastwestsplayers.org) The story returns to Max and Delia, two characters introduced in The Brothers Paranormal. They're dealing with what's come after the events of that play--trying to build dsome kind of peace in their lives. Over the ensuing years, their relationship has become strained, and they are somewhat estranged. Gomolvilas' new play digs into what people inherit--not just family or culture, but emotional history, loss, and unresolved pain. This too being a supernatural thriller with horror elements, a malevolent spirit reappears (or emerges) andf threatens to disrupt the fragile life Max and Delia built after earlier events. Theres's even the possibility of possession! You don't need to have seen the earlier play to understand Paranormal Inside.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: PostgreSQL 18 Released PostgreSQL 18 is out (Sep 25, 2025) with a focus on faster text handling, async I/O, and easier upgrades. New async I/O subsystem speeds sequential scans, bitmap heap scans, and vacuum by issuing concurrent reads instead of blocking on each request. Major-version upgrades are smoother: pg_upgrade retains planner stats, adds parallel checks via -jobs, and supports faster cutovers with -swap. Smarter query performance lands with skip scans on multicolumn B-tree indexes, better OR optimization, incremental-sort merge joins, and parallel GIN index builds. Dev quality-of-life: virtual generated columns enabled by default, a uuidv7() generator for time-ordered IDs, and RETURNING can expose both OLD and NEW. Security gets an upgrade with native OAuth 2.0 authentication; MD5 password auth is deprecated and TLS controls expand. Text operations get a boost via the new PG_UNICODE_FAST collation, faster upper/lower, a casefold() helper, and clearer collation behavior for LIKE/FTS. Brian #2: Testing is better than DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) Ned Batchelder If you need to grind through DSA problems to get your first job, then of course, do that, but if you want to prepare yourself for a career, and also stand out in job interviews, learn how to write tests. Testing is a skill you'll use constantly, will make you stand out in job interviews, and isn't taught well in school (usually). Testing code well is not obvious. It's a puzzle and a problem to solve. It gives you confidence and helps you write better code. Applies everywhere, at all levels. Notes from Brian Most devs suck at testing, so being good at it helps you stand out very quickly. Thinking about a system and how to test it often very quickly shines a spotlight on problem areas, parts with not enough specification, and fuzzy requirements. This is a good thing, and bringing up these topics helps you to become a super valuable team member. High level tests need to be understood by key engineers on a project. Even if tons of the code is AI generated. Even if many of the tests are, the people understanding the requirements and the high level tests are quite valuable. Michael #3: Pyrefly in Cursor/PyCharm/VSCode/etc Install the VSCode/Cursor extension or PyCharm plugin, see https://pyrefly.org/en/docs/IDE/ Brian spoke about Pyrefly in #433: Dev in the Arena I've subsequently had the team on Talk Python: #523: Pyrefly: Fast, IDE-friendly typing for Python (podcast version coming in a few weeks, see video for now.) My experience has been Pyrefly changes the feel of the editor, give it a try. But disable the regular language server extension. Brian #4: Playwright & pytest techniques that bring me joy Tim Shilling “I've been working with playwright more often to do end to end tests. As a project grows to do more with HTMX and Alpine in the markup, there's less unit and integration test coverage and a greater need for end to end tests.” Tim covers some cool E2E techniques Open new pages / tabs to be tested Using a pytest marker to identify playwright tests Using a pytest marker in place of fixtures Using page.pause() and Playwright's debugging tool Using assert_axe_violations to prevent accessibility regressions Using page.expect_response() to confirm a background request occurred From Brian Again, with more and more lower level code being generated, and many unit tests being generated (shakes head in sadness), there's an increased need for high level tests. Don't forget API tests, obviously, but if there's a web interface, it's gotta be tested. Especially if the primary user experience is the web interface, building your Playwright testing chops helps you stand out and let's you test a whole lot of your system with not very many tests. Extras Brian: Big O - By Sam Who Yes, take Ned's advice and don't focus so much on DSA, focus also on learning to test. However, one topic you should be comfortable with in algortithm-land is Big O, at least enough to have a gut feel for it. And this article is really good enough for most people. Great graphics, demos, visuals. As usual, great content from Sam Who, and a must read for all serious devs. Python 3.14.0rc3 has been available since Sept 18. Python 3.14.0 final scheduled for Oct 7 Django 6.0 alpha 1 released Django 6.0 final scheduled for Dec 3 Python Test Static hosting update Some interesting discussions around setting up my own server, but this seems like it might be yak shaving procrastination research when I really should be writing or coding. So I'm holding off until I get some writing projects and a couple SaaS projects further along. Joke: Always be backing up
