This week on Gambling with Good JuJu, we're bringing the brainpower! After 8 months of trial, error, and a whole lot of Python, Juice, Breezy, and show superfan Uncle Justin have taken Elihu Feustel's book Beyond The Odds and built a working sports betting model from scratch.We walk through every step of the journey—from scraping college football data, building a custom pipeline, and coding the answer key logic, to pivoting from college basketball to college football and back again. Then we welcome back Elihu himself to ask the real questions: Did we do it right? Does our distance factor make sense? Are we using junk data? And how the hell do you even determine a go/no-go betting threshold?If you're a sports bettor who's ever dreamed of originating your own numbers or building a model, this episode is your blueprint. And if you just love hearing Juice talk about code like he knows what he's doing… this one's for you too.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 116 In this episode of CHAOSScast, host Georg Link is joined by guests Sarina Canelake, Feanil Patel, and Felipe Montoya from the Open edX community, to discuss their experiences with the GrimoireLab tool and the launch and growth of their maintainer program.  The conversation dives into the history and impact of the Open edX project, the evolution of their maintainer program, and the use of metrics to track and improve community health. The guests also share personal stories and provide insights into the challenges and successes they've encountered along the way. Press download now! [00:00:34] Sarina, Feanil, and Felipe introduce themselves and their backgrounds. [00:02:02] Feanil and Sarina explain the origins of the maintainer program, the mix of Python and JavaScript repositories, and how maintainers influence code direction. [00:04:02] Feanil explains the history of Open edX, being open sourced in 2013 by edX (MOOC platform) and how Axim Collaborative took over stewardship in 2021. [00:07:04] We hear Felipe's journey into the project from student to TA to community contributor and leader since 2012. He details the empowerment and pressure of receiving merge access in the Core Contributor program. [00:13:09] Sarina Explains why merge rights were initially limited to edX staff, and how the shift to community-led merging happened post 2020. [00:15:26] Feanil describes how the Maintainer Program now distributes ownership and improves repository health. [00:17:12] Feanil talks about his incremental metrics philosophy: starts with presence, then track responsiveness. [00:21:34] Georg asks how maintainers use GrimoireLab dashboards and filters. Sarina explains the use of Backstage ownership metadata for filtering dashboards by maintainers or groups and Feanil emphasizes the need for flexible tooling due to overlapping team memberships. [00:24:50] Felipe describes using dashboards to monitor his team's participation and accountability. [00:25:40] Sarina asks Felipe about dashboards he uses on Bitergia to track team contributions. [00:28:26] Sarina shares how she tracks Elephant Factor and trends in commit and LOC volume and Georg highlights the value of identity reconciliation in data. [00:30:45] Felipe talks about monitoring Slack, issues, and commits to ensure ecosystem health post-company transitions and Sarina notes challenges of mapping Slack/Discourse identities in Sorting Hat for deeper engagement metrics. [00:34:11] There's a discussion on syncing internal onboarding identity forms with Sorting Hat manually for now. [00:35:35] Georg raises concerns about metric misuse in performance reviews. Sarina and Feanil stress metrics as guidance, not performance tools, and Felipe shares his team uses metrics as lagging indicators, not for pressure. [00:39:55] Sarina explains how their impact report uses lines of code, commit trends, and elephant factor to show growth and codebase health.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I'm the CTO of a small startup. We're 3 devs including me and one of them is a junior developer. My current policy is to discourage the use of AI tools for the junior dev to make sure they build actual skills and don't just prompt their way through tasks. However I'm more and more questioning my stance as AI skills will be in demand for jobs to come and I want to prepare this junior dev for a life after my startup. How would you do this? What's the AI coding assistant policy in your companies. Is it the same for all seniority levels? Hi everyone! Long-time listener here, and I really appreciate all the insights you share. Greetings from Brazil! I recently joined a large company (5,000 employees) that hired around 500 developers in a short time. It seems like they didn't have enough projects aligned with everyone's expertise, so many of us, myself included, were placed in roles that don't match our skill sets. I'm a web developer with experience in Java and TypeScript, but I was assigned to a data-focused project involving Python and ETL pipelines, which is far from my area of interest or strength. I've already mentioned to my manager that I don't have experience in this stack, but the response was that the priority is to place people in projects. He told me to “keep [him] in the loop if you don't feel comfortable”, but I'm not sure that should I do. The company culture is chill, and I don't want to come across as unwilling to work or ungrateful. But I also want to grow in the right direction for my career. How can I ask for a project change, ideally one that aligns with my web development background, without sounding negative or uncooperative? Maybe wait for like 3 months inside of this project and then ask for a change? Thanks so much for your thoughts!

On this episode of Impact Quantum, hosts Frank La Vigne and Candice Gilhooly welcome Brian Siegelwax—who proudly calls himself the “second least qualified person in quantum”—for a refreshingly honest, lighthearted, and insightful dive into the world of quantum computing. Broadcasting from the Philippines, Brian shares the unusual story of how he accidentally stumbled into quantum technology, evolving from a machine learning enthusiast to someone hooked by the mystery and challenge of the quantum realm.With plenty of humor and humility, Brian unpacks why quantum computing can feel so addictive, discusses the real meaning of benchmarks and roadmaps (and why they're a produce aisle full of unripe apples and oranges), and shares why the real magic of quantum comes from curiosity and a sense of fun. Whether you're a software engineer wondering which language or skills to pick up (Python fans, brace yourselves!), a business leader eyeing 2030, or simply quantum-curious, this episode blends practical advice, philosophical musings, and tangents on everything from assembly language to quantum dragons.Join us as we untangle the hardware vs. software debate, ask what business leaders should really be watching for, and explore the underrated joys of wonder and play in the quest for quantum advantage.

Bret Taylor's legendary career includes being CTO of Meta, co-CEO of Salesforce, chairman of the board at OpenAI (yes, during that drama), co-creating both Google Maps and the Like button, and founding three companies. Today he's the founder and CEO of Sierra, an AI agent company transforming customer service. He's one of the few people I've met who's been wildly successful at every level—from engineer to C-suite executive to founder—and across almost every discipline, including PM, engineer, CTO, COO, CPO, CEO, and board member.In this conversation, you'll learn:1. The brutal product review that nearly ended his Google career—and how that failure led to creating Google Maps2. The question Sheryl Sandberg taught him to ask every morning (“What's the most impactful thing I can do today?”) that transformed how he approached every role3. The three AI market segments that matter4. Why AI agents will replace SaaS products5. His framework for knowing whose advice to actually listen to—and how that came in handy during the OpenAI board drama6. The counterintuitive go-to-market strategy most AI startups get wrong7. Sierra's outcome-based pricing model that's transforming how enterprise software is sold (and why every SaaS company should adopt it)8. What he's teaching his kids about AI that every parent should know—Brought to you by:CodeRabbit—Cut code review time and bugs in half.

In this episode, Elixir Wizard Charles Suggs sits down with Victor Björklund to map out the landscape of Python integration in Elixir applications. From HTTP APIs and external services to embedded runtimes like ErlPort, PythonX, and the Venomous library, we evaluate each approach's impact on performance, coupling, and developer experience. Victor draws on real-world examples like Scrapy-based web scraping and the Swedish BankID authentication to illustrate best practices for error handling, process pooling, and effective telemetry across the BEAM boundary. We also tackle the practical side of deployment: packaging Python dependencies in Mix releases, mocking Python calls in tests, and deploying multi-language apps with confidence. Wrapping up, Victor shares his wishlist for even tighter interop (think multiple Python interpreter instances per VM) and offers low-risk entry points, like automating monthly reports, for teams ready to explore the power of Python's ecosystem within Elixir. Key topics discussed in this episode: Integration methods: HTTP APIs, ports, ErlPort, PythonX, Venomous Performance vs. coupling trade-offs across interop patterns Managing the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) with process pools Leveraging mature Python libraries (Scrapy, BankID, etc.) Error handling strategies across BEAM↔Python boundaries Testing mixed-language systems: mocks and integration tests Packaging and deploying Python alongside Elixir releases Monitoring and telemetry for multi-language pipelines Functional programming advantages in Elixir workflows Tool selection guidance by project requirements Future possibilities: multiple Python interpreters in one VM Community resources for Python–Elixir interop help Links mentioned: jawdropping.io https://cplusplus.com/ https://www.python.org/ https://react.dev/ https://nodejs.org/en https://erlport.org/ https://hexdocs.pm/pythonx/Pythonx.html https://pyrlang.github.io/Pyrlang/ Python GIL (Global Interpreter Lock): https://realpython.com/python-gil/ https://github.com/devinus/poolboy https://hexdocs.pm/venomous/Venomous.html Try-catch https://syntaxdb.com/ref/python/try-catch https://www.scrapy.org/ https://www.bankid.com/en/ https://www.phoenixframework.org/ https://www.tzeyiing.com/posts/using-a-hunky-poolboy-to-manage-your-python-erlport-processes-in-elixir/ https://medium.com/stuart-engineering/how-we-use-python-within-elixir-486eb4d266f9 https://x.com/bjorklundvictor https://victorbjorklund.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/victorbjorklund/ hello@victorbjorklund.com

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In-Ear Insights, if you go on LinkedIn, everybody, including tons of non-coding folks, has jumped into vibe coding, the term coined by OpenAI co-founder Andre Karpathy. A lot of people are doing some really cool stuff with it. However, a lot of people are also, as you can see on X in a variety of posts, finding out the hard way that if you don’t know what to ask for—say, application security—bad things can happen. Katie, how are you doing with giving into the vibes? Katie Robbert – 00:38 I’m not. I’ve talked about this on other episodes before. For those who don’t know, I have an extensive background in managing software development. I myself am not a software developer, but I have spent enough time building and managing those teams that I know what to look for and where things can go wrong. I’m still really skeptical of vibe coding. We talked about this on a previous podcast, which if you want to find our podcast, it’s @TrustInsightsAI_TIpodcast, or you can watch it on YouTube. My concern, my criticism, my skepticism of vibe coding is if you don’t have the basic foundation of the SDLC, the software development lifecycle, then it’s very easy for you to not do vibe coding correctly. Katie Robbert – 01:42 My understanding is vibe coding is you’re supposed to let the machine do it. I think that’s a complete misunderstanding of what’s actually happening because you still have to give the machine instruction and guardrails. The machine is creating AI. Generative AI is creating the actual code. It’s putting together the pieces—the commands that comprise a set of JSON code or Python code or whatever it is you’re saying, “I want to create an app that does this.” And generative AI is like, “Cool, let’s do it.” You’re going through the steps. You still need to know what you’re doing. That’s my concern. Chris, you have recently been working on a few things, and I’m curious to hear, because I know you rely on generative AI because yourself, you’ve said, are not a developer. What are some things that you’ve run into? Katie Robbert – 02:42 What are some lessons that you’ve learned along the way as you’ve been vibing? Christopher S. Penn – 02:50 Process is the foundation of good vibe coding, of knowing what to ask for. Think about it this way. If you were to say to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, “Hey, write me a fiction novel set in the 1850s that’s a drama,” what are you going to get? You’re going to get something that’s not very good. Because you didn’t provide enough information. You just said, “Let’s do the thing.” You’re leaving everything up to the machine. That prompt—just that prompt alone. If you think about an app like a book, in this example, it’s going to be slop. It’s not going to be very good. It’s not going to be very detailed. Christopher S. Penn – 03:28 Granted, it doesn’t have the issues of code, but it’s going to suck. If, on the other hand, you said, “Hey, here’s the ideas I had for all the characters, here’s the ideas I had for the plot, here’s the ideas I had for the setting. But I want to have these twists. Here’s the ideas for the readability and the language I want you to use.” You provided it with lots and lots of information. You’re going to get a better result. You’re going to get something—a book that’s worth reading—because it’s got your ideas in it, it’s got your level of detail in it. That’s how you would write a book. The same thing is true of coding. You need to have, “Here’s the architecture, here’s the security requirements,” which is a big, big gap. Christopher S. Penn – 04:09 Here’s how to do unit testing, here’s the fact why unit tests are important. I hated when I was writing code by myself, I hated testing. I always thought, Oh my God, this is the worst thing in the world to have to test everything. With generative AI coding tools, I now am in love with testing because, in fact, I now follow what’s called test-driven development, where you write the tests first before you even write the production code. Because I don’t have to do it. I can say, “Here’s the code, here’s the ideas, here’s the questions I have, here’s the requirements for security, here’s the standards I want you to use.” I’ve written all that out, machine. “You go do this and run these tests until they’re clean, and you’ll just keep running over and fix those problems.” Christopher S. Penn – 04:54 After every cycle you do it, but it has to be free of errors before you can move on. The tools are very capable of doing that. Katie Robbert – 05:03 You didn’t answer my question, though. Christopher S. Penn – 05:05 Okay. Katie Robbert – 05:06 My question to you was, Chris Penn, what lessons have you specifically learned about going through this? What’s been going on, as much as you can share, because obviously we’re under NDA. What have you learned? Christopher S. Penn – 05:23 What I’ve learned: documentation and code drift very quickly. You have your PRD, you have your requirements document, you have your work plans. Then, as time goes on and you’re making fixes to things, the code and the documentation get out of sync very quickly. I’ll show an example of this. I’ll describe what we’re seeing because it’s just a static screenshot, but in the new Claude code, you have the ability to build agents. These are built-in mini-apps. My first one there, Document Code Drift Auditor, goes through and says, “Hey, here’s where your documentation is out of line with the reality of your code,” which is a big deal to make sure that things stay in sync. Christopher S. Penn – 06:11 The second one is a Code Quality Auditor. One of the big lessons is you can’t just say, “Fix my code.” You have to say, “You need to give me an audit of what’s good about my code, what’s bad about my code, what’s missing from my code, what’s unnecessary from my code, and what silent errors are there.” Because that’s a big one that I’ve had trouble with is silent errors where there’s not something obviously broken, but it’s not quite doing what you want. These tools can find that. I can’t as a person. That’s just me. Because I can’t see what’s not there. A third one, Code Base Standards Inspector, to look at the standards. This is one that it says, “Here’s a checklist” because I had to write—I had to learn to write—a checklist of. Christopher S. Penn – 06:51 These are the individual things I need you to find that I’ve done or not done in the codebase. The fourth one is logging. I used to hate logging. Now I love logs because I can say in the PRD, in the requirements document, up front and throughout the application, “Write detailed logs about what’s happening with my application” because that helps machine debug faster. I used to hate logs, and now I love them. I have an agent here that says, “Go read the logs, find errors, fix them.” Fifth lesson: debt collection. Technical debt is a big issue. This is when stuff just accumulates. As clients have new requests, “Oh, we want to do this and this and this.” Your code starts to drift even from its original incarnation. Christopher S. Penn – 07:40 These tools don’t know to clean that up unless you tell it to. I have a debt collector agent that goes through and says, “Hey, this is a bunch of stuff that has no purpose anymore.” And we can then have a conversation about getting rid of it without breaking things. Which, as a thing, the next two are painful lessons that I’ve learned. Progress Logger essentially says, after every set of changes, you need to write a detailed log file in this folder of that change and what you did. The last one is called Docs as Data Curator. Christopher S. Penn – 08:15 This is where the tool goes through and it creates metadata at the top of every progress entry that says, “Here’s the keywords about what this bug fixes” so that I can later go back and say, “Show me all the bug fixes that we’ve done for BigQuery or SQLite or this or that or the other thing.” Because what I found the hard way was the tools can introduce regressions. They can go back and keep making the same mistake over and over again if they don’t have a logbook of, “Here’s what I did and what happened, whether it worked or not.” By having these set—these seven tools, these eight tools—in place, I can prevent a lot of those behaviors that generative AI tends to have. Christopher S. Penn – 08:54 In the same way that you provide a writing style guide so that AI doesn’t keep making the mistake of using em dashes or saying, “in a world of,” or whatever the things that you do in writing. My hard-earned lessons I’ve encoded into agents now so that I don’t keep making those mistakes, and AI doesn’t keep making those mistakes. Katie Robbert – 09:17 I feel you’re demonstrating my point of my skepticism with vibe coding because you just described a very lengthy process and a lot of learnings. I’m assuming what was probably a lot of research up front on software development best practices. I actually remember the day that you were introduced to unit tests. It wasn’t that long ago. And you’re like, “Oh, well, this makes it a lot easier.” Those are the kinds of things that, because, admittedly, software development is not your trade, it’s not your skillset. Those are things that you wouldn’t necessarily know unless you were a software developer. Katie Robbert – 10:00 This is my skepticism of vibe coding: sure, anybody can use generative AI to write some code and put together an app, but then how stable is it, how secure is it? You still have to know what you’re doing. I think that—not to be too skeptical, but I am—the more accessible generative AI becomes, the more fragile software development is going to become. It’s one thing to write a blog post; there’s not a whole lot of structure there. It’s not powering your website, it’s not the infrastructure that holds together your entire business, but code is. Katie Robbert – 11:03 That’s where I get really uncomfortable. I’m fine with using generative AI if you know what you’re doing. I have enough knowledge that I could use generative AI for software development. It’s still going to be flawed, it’s still going to have issues. Even the most experienced software developer doesn’t get it right the first time. I’ve never in my entire career seen that happen. There is no such thing as the perfect set of code the first time. I think that people who are inexperienced with the software development lifecycle aren’t going to know about unit tests, aren’t going to know about test-based coding, or peer testing, or even just basic QA. Katie Robbert – 11:57 It’s not just, “Did it do the thing,” but it’s also, “Did it do the thing on different operating systems, on different browsers, in different environments, with people doing things you didn’t ask them to do, but suddenly they break things?” Because even though you put the big “push me” button right here, someone’s still going to try to click over here and then say, “I clicked on your logo. It didn’t work.” Christopher S. Penn – 12:21 Even the vocabulary is an issue. I’ll give you four words that would automatically uplevel your Python vibe coding better. But these are four words that you probably have never heard of: Ruff, MyPy, Pytest, Bandit. Those are four automated testing utilities that exist in the Python ecosystem. They’ve been free forever. Ruff cleans up and does linting. It says, “Hey, you screwed this up. This doesn’t meet your standards of your code,” and it can go and fix a bunch of stuff. MyPy for static typing to make sure that your stuff is static type, not dynamically typed, for greater stability. Pytest runs your unit tests, of course. Bandit looks for security holes in your Python code. Christopher S. Penn – 13:09 If you don’t know those exist, you probably say you’re a marketer who’s doing vibe coding for the first time, because you don’t know they exist. They are not accessible to you, and generative AI will not tell you they exist. Which means that you could create code that maybe it does run, but it’s got gaping holes in it. When I look at my standards, I have a document of coding standards that I’ve developed because of all the mistakes I’ve made that it now goes in every project. This goes, “Boom, drop it in,” and those are part of the requirements. This is again going back to the book example. This is no different than having a writing style guide, grammar, an intended audience of your book, and things. Christopher S. Penn – 13:57 The same things that you would go through to be a good author using generative AI, you have to do for coding. There’s more specific technical language. But I would be very concerned if anyone, coder or non-coder, was just releasing stuff that didn’t have the right safeguards in it and didn’t have good enough testing and evaluation. Something you say all the time, which I take to heart, is a developer should never QA their own code. Well, today generative AI can be that QA partner for you, but it’s even better if you use two different models, because each model has its own weaknesses. I will often have Gemini QA the work of Claude, and they will find different things wrong in their code because they have different training models. These two tools can work together to say, “What about this?” Christopher S. Penn – 14:48 “What about this?” And they will. I’ve actually seen them argue, “The previous developers said this. That’s not true,” which is entertaining. But even just knowing that rule exists—a developer should not QA their own code—is a blind spot that your average vibe coder is not going to have. Katie Robbert – 15:04 Something I want to go back to that you were touching upon was the privacy. I’ve seen a lot of people put together an app that collects information. It could collect basic contact information, it could collect other kind of demographic information, it can collect opinions and thoughts, or somehow it’s collecting some kind of information. This is also a huge risk area. Data privacy has always been a risk. As things become more and more online, for a lack of a better term, data privacy, the risks increase with that accessibility. Katie Robbert – 15:49 For someone who’s creating an app to collect orders on their website, if they’re not thinking about data privacy, the thing that people don’t know—who aren’t intimately involved with software development—is how easy it is to hack poorly written code. Again, to be super skeptical: in this day and age, everything is getting hacked. The more AI is accessible, the more hackable your code becomes. Because people can spin up these AI agents with the sole purpose of finding vulnerabilities in software code. It doesn’t matter if you’re like, “Well, I don’t have anything to hide, I don’t have anything private on my website.” It doesn’t matter. They’re going to hack it anyway and start to use it for nefarious things. Katie Robbert – 16:49 One of the things that we—not you and I, but we in my old company—struggled with was conducting those security tests as part of the test plan because we didn’t have someone on the team at the time who was thoroughly skilled in that. Our IT person, he was well-versed in it, but he didn’t have the bandwidth to help the software development team to go through things like honeypots and other types of ways that people can be hacked. But he had the knowledge that those things existed. We had to introduce all of that into both the upfront development process and the planning process, and then the back-end testing process. It added additional time. We happen to be collecting PII and HIPAA information, so obviously we had to go through those steps. Katie Robbert – 17:46 But to even understand the basics of how your code can be hacked is going to be huge. Because it will be hacked if you do not have data privacy and those guardrails around your code. Even if your code is literally just putting up pictures on your website, guess what? Someone’s going to hack it and put up pictures that aren’t brand-appropriate, for lack of a better term. That’s going to happen, unfortunately. And that’s just where we’re at. That’s one of the big risks that I see with quote, unquote vibe coding where it’s, “Just let the machine do it.” If you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t do it. I don’t know how many times I can say that, or at the very. Christopher S. Penn – 18:31 At least know to ask. That’s one of the things. For example, there’s this concept in data security called principle of minimum privilege, which is to grant only the amount of access somebody needs. Same is true for principle of minimum data: collect only information that you actually need. This is an example of a vibe-coded project that I did to make a little Time Zone Tracker. You could put in your time zones and stuff like that. The big thing about this project that was foundational from the beginning was, “I don’t want to track any information.” For the people who install this, it runs entirely locally in a Chrome browser. It does not collect data. There’s no backend, there’s no server somewhere. So it stays only on your computer. Christopher S. Penn – 19:12 The only thing in here that has any tracking whatsoever is there’s a blue link to the Trust Insights website at the very bottom, and that has Google Track UTM codes. That’s it. Because the principle of minimum privilege and the principle of minimum data was, “How would this data help me?” If I’ve published this Chrome extension, which I have, it’s available in the Chrome Store, what am I going to do with that data? I’m never going to look at it. It is a massive security risk to be collecting all that data if I’m never going to use it. It’s not even built in. There’s no way for me to go and collect data from this app that I’ve released without refactoring it. Christopher S. Penn – 19:48 Because we started out with a principle of, “Ain’t going to use it; it’s not going to provide any useful data.” Katie Robbert – 19:56 But that I feel is not the norm. Christopher S. Penn – 20:01 No. And for marketers. Katie Robbert – 20:04 Exactly. One, “I don’t need to collect data because I’m not going to use it.” The second is even if you’re not collecting any data, is your code still hackable so that somebody could hack into this set of code that people have running locally and change all the time zones to be anti-political leaning, whatever messages that they’re like, “Oh, I didn’t realize Chris Penn felt that way.” Those are real concerns. That’s what I’m getting at: even if you’re publishing the most simple code, make sure it’s not hackable. Christopher S. Penn – 20:49 Yep. Do that exercise. Every software language there is has some testing suite. Whether it’s Chrome extensions, whether it’s JavaScript, whether it’s Python, because the human coders who have been working in these languages for 10, 20, 30 years have all found out the hard way that things go wrong. All these automated testing tools exist that can do all this stuff. But when you’re using generative AI, you have to know to ask for it. You have to say. You can say, “Hey, here’s my idea.” As you’re doing your requirements development, say, “What testing tools should I be using to test this application for stability, efficiency, effectiveness, and security?” Those are the big things. That has to be part of the requirements document. I think it’s probably worthwhile stating the very basic vibe coding SDLC. Christopher S. Penn – 21:46 Build your requirements, check your requirements, build a work plan, execute the work plan, and then test until you’re sick of testing, and then keep testing. That’s the process. AI agents and these coding agents can do the “fingers on keyboard” part, but you have to have the knowledge to go, “I need a requirements document.” “How do I do that?” I can have generative AI help me with that. “I need a work plan.” “How do I do that?” Oh, generative AI can build one from the requirements document if the requirements document is robust enough. “I need to implement the code.” “How do I do that?” Christopher S. Penn – 22:28 Oh yeah, AI can do that with a coding agent if it has a work plan. “I need to do QA.” “How do I do that?” Oh, if I have progress logs and the code, AI can do that if it knows what to look for. Then how do I test? Oh, AI can run automated testing utilities and fix the problems it finds, making sure that the code doesn’t drift away from the requirements document until it’s done. That’s the bare bones, bare minimum. What’s missing from that, Katie? From the formal SDLC? Katie Robbert – 23:00 That’s the gist of it. There’s so much nuance and so much detail. This is where, because you and I, we were not 100% aligned on the usage of AI. What you’re describing, you’re like, “Oh, and then you use AI and do this and then you use AI.” To me, that immediately makes me super anxious. You’re too heavily reliant on AI to get it right. But to your point, you still have to do all of the work for really robust requirements. I do feel like a broken record. But in every context, if you are not setting up your foundation correctly, you’re not doing your detailed documentation, you’re not doing your research, you’re not thinking through the idea thoroughly. Katie Robbert – 23:54 Generative AI is just another tool that’s going to get it wrong and screw it up and then eventually collect dust because it doesn’t work. When people are worried about, “Is AI going to take my job?” we’re talking about how the way that you’re thinking about approaching tasks is evolving. So you, the human, are still very critical to this task. If someone says, “I’m going to fire my whole development team, the machines, Vibe code, good luck,” I have a lot more expletives to say with that, but good luck. Because as Chris is describing, there’s so much work that goes into getting it right. Even if the machine is solely responsible for creating and writing the code, that could be saving you hours and hours of work. Because writing code is not easy. Katie Robbert – 24:44 There’s a reason why people specialize in it. There’s still so much work that has to be done around it. That’s the thing that people forget. They think they’re saving time. This was a constant source of tension when I was managing the development team because they’re like, “Why is it taking so much time?” The developers have estimated 30 hours. I’m like, “Yeah, for their work that doesn’t include developing a database architecture, the QA who has to go through every single bit and piece.” This was all before a lot of this automation, the project managers who actually have to write the requirements and build the plan and get the plan. All of those other things. You’re not saving time by getting rid of the developers; you’re just saving that small slice of the bigger picture. Christopher S. Penn – 25:38 The rule of thumb, generally, with humans is that for every hour of development, you’re going to have two to four hours of QA time, because you need to have a lot of extra eyes on the project. With vibe coding, it’s between 10 and 20x. Your hour of vibe coding may shorten dramatically. But then you’re going to. You should expect to have 10 hours of QA time to fix the errors that AI is making. Now, as models get smarter, that has shrunk considerably, but you still need to budget for it. Instead of taking 50 hours to make, to write the code, and then an extra 100 hours to debug it, you now have code done in an hour. But you still need the 10 to 20 hours to QA it. Christopher S. Penn – 26:22 When generative AI spits out that first draft, it’s every other first draft. It ain’t done. It ain’t done. Katie Robbert – 26:31 As we’re wrapping up, Chris, if possible, can you summarize your recent lesson learned from using AI for software development—what is the one thing, the big lesson that you took away? Christopher S. Penn – 26:50 If we think of software development like the floors of a skyscraper, everyone wants the top floor, which is the scenic part. That’s cool, and everybody can go up there. It is built on a foundation and many, many floors of other things. And if you don’t know what those other floors are, your top floor will literally fall out of the sky. Because it won’t be there. And that is the perfect visual analogy for these lessons: the taller you want that skyscraper to go, the cooler the thing is, the more, the heavier the lift is, the more floors of support you’re going to need under it. And if you don’t have them, it’s not going to go well. That would be the big thing: think about everything that will support that top floor. Christopher S. Penn – 27:40 Your overall best practices, your overall coding standards for a specific project, a requirements document that has been approved by the human stakeholders, the work plans, the coding agents, the testing suite, the actual agentic sewing together the different agents. All of that has to exist for that top floor, for you to be able to build that top floor and not have it be a safety hazard. That would be my parting message there. Katie Robbert – 28:13 How quickly are you going to get back into a development project? Christopher S. Penn – 28:19 Production for other people? Not at all. For myself, every day. Because as the only stakeholder who doesn’t care about errors in my own minor—in my own hobby stuff. Let’s make that clear. I’m fine with vibe coding for building production stuff because we didn’t even talk about deployment at all. We touched on it. Just making the thing has all these things. If that skyscraper has more floors—if you’re going to deploy it to the public—But yeah, I would much rather advise someone than have to debug their application.

Generation AI explores two major AI developments reshaping our future. First, hosts Ardis Kadiu and JC Bonilla break down how OpenAI and Google DeepMind models achieved gold medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad - solving problems that require creativity and multi-hour reasoning that experts thought was years away. This marks a critical step toward AGI as AI demonstrates true mathematical reasoning beyond pattern recognition. Then they analyze America's new AI Action Plan - a 25-page roadmap positioning AI as a national priority with three core pillars: accelerating innovation through deregulation, building infrastructure, and establishing governance. For higher education, this means $10-12 billion in funding opportunities, new workforce training programs, and a shift toward AI literacy across all disciplines. Universities that move fast to create bootcamps and partner with industry will capture this once-in-a-generation opportunity.AI Achieves Gold Medal at International Mathematical Olympiad (00:00:00)OpenAI and Google DeepMind models solve 5 of 6 problems at IMORepresents multi-hour reasoning and creative problem-solving capabilityUses general-purpose reinforcement learning without external toolsSignals major progress toward AGI - what experts thought was years awayThe Math Behind the Breakthrough (00:04:22)Mathematical Olympiad requires reasoning, not memorizationParticipants are the most gifted mathematics students globallyAI learned through trial-and-error reinforcement learningNo calculators or Python - pure mathematical reasoning verified by IMO medalistsGPT-5 on the Horizon (00:11:23)Combines best of GPT-4 and O3 reasoning capabilitiesAutomatically decides how much "thinking" to apply to queriesSam Altman signals release may be imminentEarly testers report significant performance improvementsAmerica's AI Action Plan Overview (00:16:08)25-page document positioning AI as national security priorityThree core pillars: innovation, infrastructure, governanceFocus on maintaining dominance over ChinaEmphasis on private sector speed and deregulationPillar 1: Accelerating AI Innovation (00:19:20)Removes barriers for data center constructionSignals copyright won't block model training$200M defense contracts to OpenAI, Anthropic, xAIPromotes open-source AI developmentAddresses "woke AI" concernsHigher Education Opportunities (00:25:27)$10-12 billion in NSF funding for AI training programsFederal tax incentives for AI literacy programsFocus on bootcamps over traditional degreesUniversities can partner on compute infrastructureWorkforce Research Hubs (00:28:50)Studies AI's labor market effectsInvestment in upskilling current workforcePartnerships between universities and industryEarly career exposure and pre-apprenticeshipsUniversities as Data Partners (00:31:54)Frontier labs have consumed available internet dataUniversities hold valuable research datasetsOpportunity to participate in model trainingShift from teaching to coaching roleMilitary Colleges as AI Hubs (00:35:26)Senior military colleges positioned as AI research centersDirect curriculum integration mandatedModel for other universities to followFocus on AI applications in defenseImplications for Liberal Arts Schools (00:38:46)Opportunity to own AI literacy initiativesReframe AI through human contextPartner with technical institutionsFocus on ethics and societal impactKey Takeaways and Next Steps (00:40:47)Universities must move fast to capture fundingSpeed to value critical for successEcosystem approach needed for dominanceMajor shifts in education delivery coming - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

I'm still going through some older reruns for the summer due to my travel schedule. This one is an interview with Rocío Titiunik, a quantitative methods political scientist and professor in the department of politics at Princeton University, as well as a researcher that has been at the frontier of work on regression discontinuity designs. Her name is synonymous with cutting-edge work on regression discontinuity design, developed in close collaboration with scholars like Sebastián Calonico, Matías Cattaneo, and Max Farrell. Together, they've shaped the modern landscape of causal inference, not only through groundbreaking theory but also through widely used software tools in R, Stata, and Python. In addition to her contributions to quantitative methodology, Rocío's applied research — from electoral behavior to democratic institutions — has become a major voice in political science. She also holds a formidable editorial footprint: associate editor for Science Advances, Political Analysis, and the American Journal of Political Science, and APSR. It's no exaggeration to say she helps steer the field as much as she contributes to it.In this older interview, Rocío shared how her journey into economics began not with data, but with theory, literature, and the big questions that led her to the discipline. Her path into Berkeley's PhD program in agricultural and resource economics was anything but linear, and even once there, she wasn't sure how all the parts of herself — the scholar, the immigrant, the thinker — would fit together. During our conversation, she opened up about moments of uncertainty, of feeling lost in the sheer vastness of academic economics. Her honesty was disarming. It reminded me that no matter how decorated someone's résumé may be, we're all just trying to find our way — and sometimes, the most important breakthroughs happen when we admit we haven't arrived yet.Thanks again for tuning in!

Brian #1: Open Source Security work isn't “Special” Seth Larson It seems like security is special in a sense that we don't want just anyone working on the security aspect of a project. We just want the trusted maintainers, right? Seth is arguing that this is the wrong mindset It makes more sense that we maybe have security experts contribute to many projects, and that someone working on security for just one project doesn't benefit from scale. “Maintainers don't see how other projects are triaging vulnerabilities and can't learn from each other. They can't compare notes on what they are seeing and whether they are doing the right thing. Isolation in security work breeds a culture of fear. Fear of doing the wrong thing and making your users unsafe.” “These “security contributors” could be maintainers or contributors of other open source projects that know about security, they could be foundations offering up resources to their ecosystem, or engineers at companies helping their dependency graph.” But how do we build trust in these individuals? Meeting in person works. But there are other ways as well. I'd personally love to have someone contact me about a project of mine regarding a security problem or process that the project could/should follow. Especially if I could see other projects I trust already trusting this individual to work on the other projects.

Transcript:Nl: In de zomerse drukte van het Efteling Park, was de lucht gevuld met de zoete geur van suikerspinnen en de vrolijke geluiden van kinderlach.En: In the summer hustle of Efteling Park, the air was filled with the sweet scent of cotton candy and the joyful sounds of children's laughter.Nl: Overal om ons heen dansten de figuren van de sprookjes tot leven.En: All around us, the figures from the fairy tales danced to life.Nl: Ik, Bram, stond in de rij voor de spannende Python-achtbaan naast mijn vrienden Sanne en Lars.En: I, Bram, was standing in line for the exciting Python roller coaster next to my friends Sanne and Lars.Nl: De zon brandde zachtjes op onze schouders, een perfecte contrast voor de koele bries die af en toe voorbij woei.En: The sun gently burned on our shoulders, a perfect contrast to the cool breeze that occasionally passed by.Nl: Lars, altijd de grappenmaker, was in een goede bui.En: Lars, always the joker, was in a good mood.Nl: "Wie durft vooraan te zitten?"En: "Who dares to sit at the front?"Nl: daagde hij ons uit, zijn ogen sprankelend van opwinding.En: he challenged us, his eyes sparkling with excitement.Nl: Sanne rolde met haar ogen maar lachte toch.En: Sanne rolled her eyes but laughed nonetheless.Nl: "Jij altijd met je uitdagingen," glimlachte ze.En: "You and your challenges all the time," she smiled.Nl: De rij was lang, maar de tijd vloog voorbij.En: The line was long, but the time flew by.Nl: De sfeer in het park was magisch, bijna alsof we in een andere wereld waren.En: The atmosphere in the park was magical, almost as if we were in another world.Nl: Toen we eindelijk aan de beurt waren, stapten we in het karretje.En: When it was finally our turn, we stepped into the cart.Nl: Ik probeerde Sanne gerust te stellen, want ze hield niet zo van achtbanen.En: I tried to reassure Sanne, as she wasn't very fond of roller coasters.Nl: "Het komt wel goed," zei ik, terwijl de sluitbalken klikten.En: "It will be okay," I said as the safety bars clicked.Nl: De rit was een wervelwind van adrenaline en snelheid.En: The ride was a whirlwind of adrenaline and speed.Nl: Toen het karretje eindelijk tot stilstand kwam, voelde ik een golf van opluchting.En: When the cart finally came to a stop, I felt a wave of relief.Nl: Maar toen we uitstapten, was er iets mis.En: But as we got off, something was wrong.Nl: Lars was nergens te zien.En: Lars was nowhere to be seen.Nl: "Waar is hij?"En: "Where is he?"Nl: vroeg Sanne, haar stem lichtelijk paniekerig.En: asked Sanne, her voice slightly panicked.Nl: "Misschien een grap van hem," probeerde ik haar gerust te stellen, al begon ik zelf ook ongerust te worden.En: "Maybe he's playing a joke," I tried to reassure her, though I was starting to worry too.Nl: We zochten overal, maar Lars bleef spoorloos.En: We searched everywhere, but Lars remained missing.Nl: Het park was zo druk, dat het moeilijk was om ons te concentreren op ons doel.En: The park was so crowded, it was hard to stay focused on our goal.Nl: Sanne begon zich zichtbaar ongemakkelijk te voelen.En: Sanne was visibly uneasy.Nl: "Kom op, we moeten gewoon logisch zijn," stelde ik voor.En: "Come on, we just need to be logical," I suggested.Nl: "Laat ons onze stappen volgen en het personeel vragen."En: "Let's retrace our steps and ask the staff."Nl: Samen begonnen we onze zoektocht, mijn gedachtes razend met zorgen.En: Together we began our search, my mind racing with concern.Nl: Sanne probeerde kalm te blijven, maar ik wist dat ze zich zorgen maakte over Lars en misschien ook wel wat over onze vriendschap.En: Sanne tried to stay calm, but I knew she was worried about Lars and maybe a bit about our friendship too.Nl: Uiteindelijk brachten de aanwijzingen ons naar een afgelegen deel van het park.En: Eventually, the clues led us to a secluded part of the park.Nl: Achter een rij nepstruiken vonden we een verborgen ingang naar een geheim deel van de attractie.En: Behind a row of fake bushes, we found a hidden entrance to a secret part of the attraction.Nl: En daar, vast tussen wat tandwielen en machines, zat Lars.En: And there, stuck between some gears and machinery, was Lars.Nl: "Wat doe jij hier?"En: "What are you doing here?"Nl: riep Sanne, half boos en half opgelucht.En: shouted Sanne, half angry and half relieved.Nl: Lars kletste nonchalant, "Ik vond deze geheime deur en moest gewoon kijken."En: Lars casually replied, "I found this secret door and just had to take a look."Nl: Samen hielpen we hem naar buiten.En: Together we helped him out.Nl: Ondanks de spanning moesten we allemaal lachen om de belachelijke situatie.En: Despite the tension, we all had to laugh about the ridiculous situation.Nl: Het was een avontuur geweest, eentje dat we niet snel zouden vergeten.En: It had been an adventure, one we wouldn't soon forget.Nl: Toen we die avond terug naar huis liepen, voelde ik dat er iets veranderd was.En: As we walked home that evening, I felt that something had changed.Nl: Ik had geleerd dat nieuwsgierigheid evenwicht nodig had, en dat mijn verantwoordelijkheden tegenover mijn vrienden niet vergeten mochten worden.En: I had learned that curiosity needed balance and that my responsibilities towards my friends shouldn't be forgotten.Nl: Sanne glimlachte naar me, en ik wist dat onze vriendschap sterker was geworden door deze ervaring.En: Sanne smiled at me, and I knew that our friendship had grown stronger through this experience.Nl: En zo eindigde onze dag in de Efteling, niet alleen met herinneringen aan ritten en sprookjes, maar ook met een nieuwe waardering voor elkaar.En: And so our day at the Efteling ended, not just with memories of rides and fairy tales, but also with a newfound appreciation for one another.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs sits down with Chris Grainger, co-founder and CTO of Amplified and creator of the Explorer library. Chris explains how Explorer brings the familiar data-frame workflows of R's dplyr and Python's pandas into the Elixir world. We explore (pun intended!) how Explorer integrates with Ecto, Nx, and LiveView to build end-to-end data pipelines without leaving the BEAM, and how features like lazy evaluation and distributed frames let you tackle large datasets. Whether you're generating reports or driving interactive charts in LiveView, Explorer makes tabular data accessible to every Elixir developer. We wrap up by looking ahead to SQL-style backends, ADBC connectivity, and other features on the Explorer roadmap. Key topics discussed in this episode: dplyr- and pandas-inspired data manipulation in Elixir Polars integration via Rust NIFs for blazing performance Immutable data frames and BEAM-friendly concurrency Lazy evaluation to work with arbitrarily large tables Distributed data-frame support for multi-node processing Seamless integration with Ecto schemas and queries Zero-copy interoperability between Explorer and Nx tensors Apache Arrow and ADBC protocols for cross-language I/O Exploring SQL-style backends for remote query execution Building interactive dashboards and charts in LiveView Consolidating ETL workflows into a single Elixir API Streaming data pipelines for memory-efficient processing Tidy data principles and behavior-based API design Real-world use cases: report generation, patent analysis, and more Future roadmap: new backends, query optimizations, and community plugins Links mentioned: https://hexdocs.pm/explorer/Explorer.html https://www.amplified.ai/ https://www.r-project.org/ https://vita.had.co.nz/papers/tidy-data.pdf https://www.tidyverse.org/ https://www.python.org/ https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/ https://go.dev/ https://hexdocs.pm/nx/Nx.html https://github.com/pola-rs/polars https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler https://www.rust-lang.org/ https://www.postgresql.org/ https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.html https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch https://arrow.apache.org/ Chris Grainger & Chris McCord Keynote ElixirConf 2024: https://youtu.be/4qoHPh0obv0 https://dbplyr.tidyverse.org/ https://spark.posit.co/ https://hexdocs.pm/pythonx/Pythonx.html https://hexdocs.pm/vegalite/VegaLite.html 10 Minutes to Explorer: https://hexdocs.pm/explorer/exploringexplorer.html https://github.com/elixir-nx/scholar https://scikit-learn.org/stable/ https://github.com/cigrainger https://erlef.org/slack-invite/erlef https://bsky.app/profile/cigrainger.bsky.social https://github.com/cigrainger

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!
