Dans cet épisode, Emmanuel et Antonio discutent de divers sujets liés au développement: Applets (et oui), app iOS développées sous Linux, le protocole A2A, l'accessibilité, les assistants de code AI en ligne de commande (vous n'y échapperez pas)… Mais aussi des approches méthodologiques et architecturales comme l'architecture hexagonale, les tech radars, l'expert généraliste et bien d'autres choses encore. Enregistré le 11 juillet 2025 Téléchargement de l'épisode LesCastCodeurs-Episode-328.mp3 ou en vidéo sur YouTube. News Langages Les Applets Java c'est terminé pour de bon… enfin, bientot: https://openjdk.org/jeps/504 Les navigateurs web ne supportent plus les applets. L'API Applet et l'outil appletviewer ont été dépréciés dans JDK 9 (2017). L'outil appletviewer a été supprimé dans JDK 11 (2018). Depuis, impossible d'exécuter des applets avec le JDK. L'API Applet a été marquée pour suppression dans JDK 17 (2021). Le Security Manager, essentiel pour exécuter des applets de façon sécurisée, a été désactivé définitivement dans JDK 24 (2025). Librairies Quarkus 3.24 avec la notion d'extensions qui peuvent fournir des capacités à des assistants https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-24-released/ les assistants typiquement IA, ont accès a des capacités des extensions Par exemple générer un client à partir d'openAPI Offrir un accès à la,base de données en dev via le schéma. L'intégration d'Hibernate 7 dans Quarkus https://quarkus.io/blog/hibernate7-on-quarkus/ Jakarta data api restriction nouvelle Injection du SchemaManager Sortie de Micronaut 4.9 https://micronaut.io/2025/06/30/micronaut-framework-4-9-0-released/ Core : Mise à jour vers Netty 4.2.2 (attention, peut affecter les perfs). Nouveau mode expérimental “Event loop Carrier” pour exécuter des virtual threads sur l'event loop Netty. Nouvelle annotation @ClassImport pour traiter des classes déjà compilées. Arrivée des @Mixin (Java uniquement) pour modifier les métadonnées d'annotations Micronaut sans altérer les classes originales. HTTP/3 : Changement de dépendance pour le support expérimental. Graceful Shutdown : Nouvelle API pour un arrêt en douceur des applications. Cache Control : API fluente pour construire facilement l'en-tête HTTP Cache-Control. KSP 2 : Support de KSP 2 (à partir de 2.0.2) et testé avec Kotlin 2. Jakarta Data : Implémentation de la spécification Jakarta Data 1.0. gRPC : Support du JSON pour envoyer des messages sérialisés via un POST HTTP. ProjectGen : Nouveau module expérimental pour générer des projets JVM (Gradle ou Maven) via une API. Un super article sur experimenter avec les event loops reactives dans les virtualthreads https://micronaut.io/2025/06/30/transitioning-to-virtual-threads-using-the-micronaut-loom-carrier/ Malheureusement cela demander le hacker le JDK C'est un article de micronaut mais le travail a ete collaboratif avec les equipes de Red Hat OpenJDK, Red Hat perf et de Quarkus et Vert.x Pour les curieux c'est un bon article Ubuntu offre un outil de creation de container pour Spring notamment https://canonical.com/blog/spring-boot-containers-made-easy creer des images OCI pour les applications Spring Boot basées sur Ubuntu base images bien sur utilise jlink pour reduire la taille pas sur de voir le gros avantage vs d'autres solutions plus portables d'ailleurs Canonical entre dans la danse des builds d'openjdk Le SDK Java de A2A contribué par Red Hat est sorti https://quarkus.io/blog/a2a-project-launches-java-sdk/ A2A est un protocole initié par Google et donne à la fondation Linux Il permet à des agents de se décrire et d'interagir entre eux Agent cards, skills, tâche, contexte A2A complémente MCP Red hat a implémenté le SDK Java avec le conseil des équipes Google En quelques annotations et classes on a un agent card, un client A2A et un serveur avec l'échange de messages via le protocole A2A Comment configurer mockito sans warning après java 21 https://rieckpil.de/how-to-configure-mockito-agent-for-java-21-without-warning/ les agents chargés dynamiquement sont déconseillés et seront interdis bientôt Un des usages est mockito via bytebuddy L'avantage est que la,configuration était transparente Mais bon sécurité oblige c'est fini. Donc l'article décrit comment configurer maven gradle pour mettre l'agent au démarrage des tests Et aussi comment configurer cela dans IntelliJ idea. Moins simple malheureusement Web Des raisons “égoïstes” de rendre les UIs plus accessibles https://nolanlawson.com/2025/06/16/selfish-reasons-for-building-accessible-uis/ Raisons égoïstes : Des avantages personnels pour les développeurs de créer des interfaces utilisateurs (UI) accessibles, au-delà des arguments moraux. Débogage facilité : Une interface accessible, avec une structure sémantique claire, est plus facile à déboguer qu'un code désordonné (la « soupe de div »). Noms standardisés : L'accessibilité fournit un vocabulaire standard (par exemple, les directives WAI-ARIA) pour nommer les composants d'interface, ce qui aide à la clarté et à la structuration du code. Tests simplifiés : Il est plus simple d'écrire des tests automatisés pour des éléments d'interface accessibles, car ils peuvent être ciblés de manière plus fiable et sémantique. Après 20 ans de stagnation, la spécification du format d'image PNG évolue enfin ! https://www.programmax.net/articles/png-is-back/ Objectif : Maintenir la pertinence et la compétitivité du format. Recommandation : Soutenu par des institutions comme la Bibliothèque du Congrès américain. Nouveautés Clés :Prise en charge du HDR (High Dynamic Range) pour une plus grande gamme de couleurs. Reconnaissance officielle des PNG animés (APNG). Support des métadonnées Exif (copyright, géolocalisation, etc.). Support Actuel : Déjà intégré dans Chrome, Safari, Firefox, iOS, macOS et Photoshop. Futur :Prochaine édition : focus sur l'interopérabilité entre HDR et SDR. Édition suivante : améliorations de la compression. Avec le projet open source Xtool, on peut maintenant construire des applications iOS sur Linux ou Windows, sans avoir besoin d'avoir obligatoirement un Mac https://xtool.sh/tutorials/xtool/ Un tutoriel très bien fait explique comment faire : Création d'un nouveau projet via la commande xtool new. Génération d'un package Swift avec des fichiers clés comme Package.swift et xtool.yml. Build et exécution de l'app sur un appareil iOS avec xtool dev. Connexion de l'appareil en USB, gestion du jumelage et du Mode Développeur. xtool gère automatiquement les certificats, profils de provisionnement et la signature de l'app. Modification du code de l'interface utilisateur (ex: ContentView.swift). Reconstruction et réinstallation rapide de l'app mise à jour avec xtool dev. xtool est basé sur VSCode sur la partie IDE Data et Intelligence Artificielle Nouvelle edition du best seller mondial “Understanding LangChain4j” : https://www.linkedin.com/posts/agoncal_langchain4j-java-ai-activity-7342825482830200833-rtw8/ Mise a jour des APIs (de LC4j 0.35 a 1.1.0) Nouveaux Chapitres sur MCP / Easy RAG / JSon Response Nouveaux modeles (GitHub Model, DeepSeek, Foundry Local) Mise a jour des modeles existants (GPT-4.1, Claude 3.7…) Google donne A2A a la Foundation Linux https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-cloud-donates-a2a-to-linux-foundation/ Annonce du projet Agent2Agent (A2A) : Lors du sommet Open Source Summit North America, la Linux Foundation a annoncé la création du projet Agent2Agent, en partenariat avec Google, AWS, Microsoft, Cisco, Salesforce, SAP et ServiceNow. Objectif du protocole A2A : Ce protocole vise à établir une norme ouverte pour permettre aux agents d'intelligence artificielle (IA) de communiquer, collaborer et coordonner des tâches complexes entre eux, indépendamment de leur fournisseur. Transfert de Google à la communauté open source : Google a transféré la spécification du protocole A2A, les SDK associés et les outils de développement à la Linux Foundation pour garantir une gouvernance neutre et communautaire. Soutien de l'industrie : Plus de 100 entreprises soutiennent déjà le protocole. AWS et Cisco sont les derniers à l'avoir validé. Chaque entreprise partenaire a souligné l'importance de l'interopérabilité et de la collaboration ouverte pour l'avenir de l'IA. Objectifs de la fondation A2A : Établir une norme universelle pour l'interopérabilité des agents IA. Favoriser un écosystème mondial de développeurs et d'innovateurs. Garantir une gouvernance neutre et ouverte. Accélérer l'innovation sécurisée et collaborative. parler de la spec et surement dire qu'on aura l'occasion d'y revenir Gemini CLI :https://blog.google/technology/developers/introducing-gemini-cli-open-source-ai-agent/ Agent IA dans le terminal : Gemini CLI permet d'utiliser l'IA Gemini directement depuis le terminal. Gratuit avec compte Google : Accès à Gemini 2.5 Pro avec des limites généreuses. Fonctionnalités puissantes : Génère du code, exécute des commandes, automatise des tâches. Open source : Personnalisable et extensible par la communauté. Complément de Code Assist : Fonctionne aussi avec les IDE comme VS Code. Au lieu de blocker les IAs sur vos sites vous pouvez peut-être les guider avec les fichiers LLMs.txt https://llmstxt.org/ Exemples du projet angular: llms.txt un simple index avec des liens : https://angular.dev/llms.txt lllms-full.txt une version bien plus détaillée : https://angular.dev/llms-full.txt Outillage Les commits dans Git sont immuables, mais saviez vous que vous pouviez rajouter / mettre à jour des “notes” sur les commits ? https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2022/11/19/git-notes-gits-coolest-most-unloved-feature/ Fonctionnalité méconnue : git notes est une fonctionnalité puissante mais peu utilisée de Git. Ajout de métadonnées : Permet d'attacher des informations à des commits existants sans en modifier le hash. Cas d'usage : Idéal pour ajouter des données issues de systèmes automatisés (builds, tickets, etc.). Revue de code distribuée : Des outils comme git-appraise ont été construits sur git notes pour permettre une revue de code entièrement distribuée, indépendante des forges (GitHub, GitLab). Peu populaire : Son interface complexe et le manque de support des plateformes de forge ont limité son adoption (GitHub n'affiche même pas/plus les notes). Indépendance des forges : git notes offre une voie vers une plus grande indépendance vis-à-vis des plateformes centralisées, en distribuant l'historique du projet avec le code lui-même. Un aperçu dur Spring Boot debugger dans IntelliJ idea ultimate https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2025/06/demystifying-spring-boot-with-spring-debugger/ montre cet outil qui donne du contexte spécifique à Spring comme les beans non activés, ceux mockés, la valeur des configs, l'état des transactions Il permet de visualiser tous les beans Spring directement dans la vue projet, avec les beans non instanciés grisés et les beans mockés marqués en orange pour les tests Il résout le problème de résolution des propriétés en affichant la valeur effective en temps réel dans les fichiers properties et yaml, avec la source exacte des valeurs surchargées Il affiche des indicateurs visuels pour les méthodes exécutées dans des transactions actives, avec les détails complets de la transaction et une hiérarchie visuelle pour les transactions imbriquées Il détecte automatiquement toutes les connexions DataSource actives et les intègre avec la fenêtre d'outils Database d'IntelliJ IDEA pour l'inspection Il permet l'auto-complétion et l'invocation de tous les beans chargés dans l'évaluateur d'expression, fonctionnant comme un REPL pour le contexte Spring Il fonctionne sans agent runtime supplémentaire en utilisant des breakpoints non-suspendus dans les bibliothèques Spring Boot pour analyser les données localement Une liste communautaire sur les assistants IA pour le code, lancée par Lize Raes https://aitoolcomparator.com/ tableau comparatif qui permet de voir les différentes fonctionnalités supportées par ces outils Architecture Un article sur l'architecture hexagonale en Java https://foojay.io/today/clean-and-modular-java-a-hexagonal-architecture-approach/ article introductif mais avec exemple sur l'architecture hexagonale entre le domaine, l'application et l‘infrastructure Le domain est sans dépendance L‘appli spécifique à l'application mais sans dépendance technique explique le flow L'infrastructure aura les dépendances à vos frameworks spring, Quarkus Micronaut, Kafka etc Je suis naturellement pas fan de l'architecture hexagonale en terme de volume de code vs le gain surtout en microservices mais c'est toujours intéressant de se challenger et de regarder le bénéfice coût. Gardez un œil sur les technologies avec les tech radar https://www.sfeir.dev/cloud/tech-radar-gardez-un-oeil-sur-le-paysage-technologique/ Le Tech Radar est crucial pour la veille technologique continue et la prise de décision éclairée. Il catégorise les technologies en Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold, selon leur maturité et pertinence. Il est recommandé de créer son propre Tech Radar pour l'adapter aux besoins spécifiques, en s'inspirant des Radars publics. Utilisez des outils de découverte (Alternativeto), de tendance (Google Trends), de gestion d'obsolescence (End-of-life.date) et d'apprentissage (roadmap.sh). Restez informé via les blogs, podcasts, newsletters (TLDR), et les réseaux sociaux/communautés (X, Slack). L'objectif est de rester compétitif et de faire des choix technologiques stratégiques. Attention à ne pas sous-estimer son coût de maintenance Méthodologies Le concept d'expert generaliste https://martinfowler.com/articles/expert-generalist.html L'industrie pousse vers une spécialisation étroite, mais les collègues les plus efficaces excellent dans plusieurs domaines à la fois Un développeur Python expérimenté peut rapidement devenir productif dans une équipe Java grâce aux concepts fondamentaux partagés L'expertise réelle comporte deux aspects : la profondeur dans un domaine et la capacité d'apprendre rapidement Les Expert Generalists développent une maîtrise durable au niveau des principes fondamentaux plutôt que des outils spécifiques La curiosité est essentielle : ils explorent les nouvelles technologies et s'assurent de comprendre les réponses au lieu de copier-coller du code La collaboration est vitale car ils savent qu'ils ne peuvent pas tout maîtriser et travaillent efficacement avec des spécialistes L'humilité les pousse à d'abord comprendre pourquoi les choses fonctionnent d'une certaine manière avant de les remettre en question Le focus client canalise leur curiosité vers ce qui aide réellement les utilisateurs à exceller dans leur travail L'industrie doit traiter “Expert Generalist” comme une compétence de première classe à nommer, évaluer et former ca me rappelle le technical staff Un article sur les métriques métier et leurs valeurs https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/07/02/monitoring-metier-comment-va-vraiment-ton-service-2/ un article de rappel sur la valeur du monitoring métier et ses valeurs Le monitoring technique traditionnel (CPU, serveurs, API) ne garantit pas que le service fonctionne correctement pour l'utilisateur final. Le monitoring métier complète le monitoring technique en se concentrant sur l'expérience réelle des utilisateurs plutôt que sur les composants isolés. Il surveille des parcours critiques concrets comme “un client peut-il finaliser sa commande ?” au lieu d'indicateurs abstraits. Les métriques métier sont directement actionnables : taux de succès, délais moyens et volumes d'erreurs permettent de prioriser les actions. C'est un outil de pilotage stratégique qui améliore la réactivité, la priorisation et le dialogue entre équipes techniques et métier. La mise en place suit 5 étapes : dashboard technique fiable, identification des parcours critiques, traduction en indicateurs, centralisation et suivi dans la durée. Une Definition of Done doit formaliser des critères objectifs avant d'instrumenter tout parcours métier. Les indicateurs mesurables incluent les points de passage réussis/échoués, les temps entre actions et le respect des règles métier. Les dashboards doivent être intégrés dans les rituels quotidiens avec un système d'alertes temps réel compréhensibles. Le dispositif doit évoluer continuellement avec les transformations produit en questionnant chaque incident pour améliorer la détection. La difficulté c'est effectivement l'évolution métier par exemple peu de commandes la nuit etc ça fait partie de la boîte à outils SRE Sécurité Toujours à la recherche du S de Sécurité dans les MCP https://www.darkreading.com/cloud-security/hundreds-mcp-servers-ai-models-abuse-rce analyse des serveurs mcp ouverts et accessibles beaucoup ne font pas de sanity check des parametres si vous les utilisez dans votre appel genAI vous vous exposer ils ne sont pas mauvais fondamentalement mais n'ont pas encore de standardisation de securite si usage local prefferer stdio ou restreindre SSE à 127.0.0.1 Loi, société et organisation Nicolas Martignole, le même qui a créé le logo des Cast Codeurs, s'interroge sur les voies possibles des développeurs face à l'impact de l'IA sur notre métier https://touilleur-express.fr/2025/06/23/ni-manager-ni-contributeur-individuel/ Évolution des carrières de développeur : L'IA transforme les parcours traditionnels (manager ou expert technique). Chef d'Orchestre d'IA : Ancien manager qui pilote des IA, définit les architectures et valide le code généré. Artisan Augmenté : Développeur utilisant l'IA comme un outil pour coder plus vite et résoudre des problèmes complexes. Philosophe du Code : Un nouveau rôle centré sur le “pourquoi” du code, la conceptualisation de systèmes et l'éthique de l'IA. Charge cognitive de validation : Nouvelle charge mentale créée par la nécessité de vérifier le travail des IA. Réflexion sur l'impact : L'article invite à choisir son impact : orchestrer, créer ou guider. Entraîner les IAs sur des livres protégés (copyright) est acceptable (fair use) mais les stocker ne l'est pas https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/anthropic-wins-key-ruling-ai-authors-copyright-lawsuit-2025-06-24/ Victoire pour Anthropic (jusqu'au prochain procès): L'entreprise a obtenu gain de cause dans un procès très suivi concernant l'entraînement de son IA, Claude, avec des œuvres protégées par le droit d'auteur. “Fair Use” en force : Le juge a estimé que l'utilisation des livres pour entraîner l'IA relevait du “fair use” (usage équitable) car il s'agit d'une transformation du contenu, pas d'une simple reproduction. Nuance importante : Cependant, le stockage de ces œuvres dans une “bibliothèque centrale” sans autorisation a été jugé illégal, ce qui souligne la complexité de la gestion des données pour les modèles d'IA. Luc Julia, son audition au sénat https://videos.senat.fr/video.5486945_685259f55eac4.ia–audition-de-luc-julia-concepteur-de-siri On aime ou pas on aide pas Luc Julia et sa vision de l'IA . C'est un eversion encore plus longue mais dans le même thème que sa keynote à Devoxx France 2025 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxjGZBtp_k ) Nature et limites de l'IA : Luc Julia a insisté sur le fait que l'intelligence artificielle est une “évolution” plutôt qu'une “révolution”. Il a rappelé qu'elle repose sur des mathématiques et n'est pas “magique”. Il a également alerté sur le manque de fiabilité des informations fournies par les IA génératives comme ChatGPT, soulignant qu'« on ne peut pas leur faire confiance » car elles peuvent se tromper et que leur pertinence diminue avec le temps. Régulation de l'IA : Il a plaidé pour une régulation “intelligente et éclairée”, qui devrait se faire a posteriori afin de ne pas freiner l'innovation. Selon lui, cette régulation doit être basée sur les faits et non sur une analyse des risques a priori. Place de la France : Luc Julia a affirmé que la France possédait des chercheurs de très haut niveau et faisait partie des meilleurs mondiaux dans le domaine de l'IA. Il a cependant soulevé le problème du financement de la recherche et de l'innovation en France. IA et Société : L'audition a traité des impacts de l'IA sur la vie privée, le monde du travail et l'éducation. Luc Julia a souligné l'importance de développer l'esprit critique, notamment chez les jeunes, pour apprendre à vérifier les informations générées par les IA. Applications concrètes et futures : Le cas de la voiture autonome a été discuté, Luc Julia expliquant les différents niveaux d'autonomie et les défis restants. Il a également affirmé que l'intelligence artificielle générale (AGI), une IA qui dépasserait l'homme dans tous les domaines, est “impossible” avec les technologies actuelles. Rubrique débutant Les weakreferences et le finalize https://dzone.com/articles/advanced-java-garbage-collection-concepts un petit rappel utile sur les pièges de la méthode finalize qui peut ne jamais être invoquée Les risques de bug si finalize ne fini jamais Finalize rend le travail du garbage collector beaucoup plus complexe et inefficace Weak references sont utiles mais leur libération n'est pas contrôlable. Donc à ne pas abuser. Il y a aussi les soft et phantom references mais les usages ne sont assez subtils et complexe en fonction du GC. Le sériel va traiter les weak avant les soft, parallel non Le g1 ça dépend de la région Z1 ça dépend car le traitement est asynchrone Conférences La liste des conférences provenant de Developers Conferences Agenda/List par Aurélie Vache et contributeurs : 14-19 juillet 2025 : DebConf25 - Brest (France) 5 septembre 2025 : JUG Summer Camp 2025 - La Rochelle (France) 12 septembre 2025 : Agile Pays Basque 2025 - Bidart (France) 18-19 septembre 2025 : API Platform Conference - Lille (France) & Online 22-24 septembre 2025 : Kernel Recipes - Paris (France) 23 septembre 2025 : OWASP AppSec France 2025 - Paris (France) 25-26 septembre 2025 : Paris Web 2025 - Paris (France) 2 octobre 2025 : Nantes Craft - Nantes (France) 2-3 octobre 2025 : Volcamp - Clermont-Ferrand (France) 3 octobre 2025 : DevFest Perros-Guirec 2025 - Perros-Guirec (France) 6-7 octobre 2025 : Swift Connection 2025 - Paris (France) 6-10 octobre 2025 : Devoxx Belgium - Antwerp (Belgium) 7 octobre 2025 : BSides Mulhouse - Mulhouse (France) 9 octobre 2025 : DevCon #25 : informatique quantique - Paris (France) 9-10 octobre 2025 : Forum PHP 2025 - Marne-la-Vallée (France) 9-10 octobre 2025 : EuroRust 2025 - Paris (France) 16 octobre 2025 : PlatformCon25 Live Day Paris - Paris (France) 16 octobre 2025 : Power 365 - 2025 - Lille (France) 16-17 octobre 2025 : DevFest Nantes - Nantes (France) 17 octobre 2025 : Sylius Con 2025 - Lyon (France) 17 octobre 2025 : ScalaIO 2025 - Paris (France) 20 octobre 2025 : Codeurs en Seine - Rouen (France) 23 octobre 2025 : Cloud Nord - Lille (France) 30-31 octobre 2025 : Agile Tour Bordeaux 2025 - Bordeaux (France) 30-31 octobre 2025 : Agile Tour Nantais 2025 - Nantes (France) 30 octobre 2025-2 novembre 2025 : PyConFR 2025 - Lyon (France) 4-7 novembre 2025 : NewCrafts 2025 - Paris (France) 5-6 novembre 2025 : Tech Show Paris - Paris (France) 6 novembre 2025 : dotAI 2025 - Paris (France) 6 novembre 2025 : Agile Tour Aix-Marseille 2025 - Gardanne (France) 7 novembre 2025 : BDX I/O - Bordeaux (France) 12-14 novembre 2025 : Devoxx Morocco - Marrakech (Morocco) 13 novembre 2025 : DevFest Toulouse - Toulouse (France) 15-16 novembre 2025 : Capitole du Libre - Toulouse (France) 19 novembre 2025 : SREday Paris 2025 Q4 - Paris (France) 20 novembre 2025 : OVHcloud Summit - Paris (France) 21 novembre 2025 : DevFest Paris 2025 - Paris (France) 27 novembre 2025 : DevFest Strasbourg 2025 - Strasbourg (France) 28 novembre 2025 : DevFest Lyon - Lyon (France) 1-2 décembre 2025 : Tech Rocks Summit 2025 - Paris (France) 5 décembre 2025 : DevFest Dijon 2025 - Dijon (France) 9-11 décembre 2025 : APIdays Paris - Paris (France) 9-11 décembre 2025 : Green IO Paris - Paris (France) 10-11 décembre 2025 : Devops REX - Paris (France) 10-11 décembre 2025 : Open Source Experience - Paris (France) 28-31 janvier 2026 : SnowCamp 2026 - Grenoble (France) 2-6 février 2026 : Web Days Convention - Aix-en-Provence (France) 3 février 2026 : Cloud Native Days France 2026 - Paris (France) 12-13 février 2026 : Touraine Tech #26 - Tours (France) 22-24 avril 2026 : Devoxx France 2026 - Paris (France) 23-25 avril 2026 : Devoxx Greece - Athens (Greece) 17 juin 2026 : Devoxx Poland - Krakow (Poland) Nous contacter Pour réagir à cet épisode, venez discuter sur le groupe Google https://groups.google.com/group/lescastcodeurs Contactez-nous via X/twitter https://twitter.com/lescastcodeurs ou Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/lescastcodeurs.com Faire un crowdcast ou une crowdquestion Soutenez Les Cast Codeurs sur Patreon https://www.patreon.com/LesCastCodeurs Tous les épisodes et toutes les infos sur https://lescastcodeurs.com/

Recorded June 13, 2025 In this episode, Jamie brings you an exciting update from InfoComm 2025. He catches up with Mike from Magewell to discuss a groundbreaking new product designed to simplify the integration of NDI streams into video conferencing software. The Pro Convert IP to USB addresses a common pain point for users who need to connect NDI sources in environments with strict IT policies, such as universities and corporate settings. Mike explains how this innovative device decodes various formats, including NDI, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP, and outputs them as UVC, making them recognizable as webcam inputs. This means that any software capable of using a webcam can now access NDI streams without the need for complex installations or configurations. Listeners will appreciate the user-friendly web interface that allows for easy setup and management of multiple input sources. Mike also shares insights on the device's API and SDK, providing options for custom development and centralized management through their Control Hub software. Whether you're a seasoned AV professional or just getting started, this episode is packed with valuable information about the future of AV technology. If you're eager to get your hands on the Pro Convert IP to USB, Magewell expects to have inventory available in the US by the end of June. Don't miss out on this game-changing solution!

Що формує ком'юніті, якщо немає споту? Як навчити культури, а не лише рухів? Коли починається справжній хіп-хоп: із winmill чи з knowledge? Чи достатньо п'яти базових елементів, щоб описати культуру хіп-хопу? Що залишається після танцю, крім сліду на паркеті? У дев'ятому епізоді Street Culture Podcast «Міста» говоримо про Черкаси разом із Максимом Оробцем aka Maximus – танцівником, хореографом і наставником. Засновником Explosion School, Max Dance, Ukrainian Underground Camp, Explosion Battle, Start Up, Explosion Choreo Fest. Переможцем Hip Hop International, Juste Debout Швейцарія, SDK, чемпіоном WORLD OF DANCE, EXPLOSION BATTLE, HHI та ще понад 300 івентів. Творцем авторських навчальних програм для педагогів і суддів стрит-напрямків. Макс говорить про рідні Черкаси – місто, з якого все почалось. Від перших хаотичних двіжів до створення власної школи. Розповідаємо про те, як це було – виживати в широких штанах у 2000-х, хто такі «нефари» по-черкаськи і чому хіп-хоп став не просто танцем, а шляхом до себе. Цей епізод – не лише про місто Черкаси, а про шлях, який трансформує і тебе, і середовище навколо. Слухайте епізод про Черкаси на Apple podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud і MEGOGO Audio. Це фінальний епізод третього сезону Street Culture Podcast «Міста». Ми дослідили локальні сцени, зафіксували живу історію української стрит-культури через голоси тих, хто сам створив свій шлях. Дякуємо всім гостям, які поділилися своїми історіями, слухачам – за довіру та інтерес, а також ведучому Єгору Матюхіну – за енергію, глибину і любов до ком'юніті. Цей сезон – частина академії Street Culture, де ми розповідаємо про лідерів Grassroots Generation, які качають свої міста й змінюють країну знизу догори. Подкаст про вуличну культуру України творимо спільно зі Street Culture, uabreaking та New Democracy Fund. Дізнавайтесь, як брейкінг, графіті, хіп-хоп та стріт-арт змінювали обличчя міст і творили нові ком'юніті.
Die Woche – der Pfefferminzia Podcast für Versicherungshelden
Diese Themen haben wir heute für Sie: Ab 00:01:25: Im Schmolltalk sprechen wir über die Bafin. Schon wieder. Denn sie hat sich dieses Mal die Lebensversicherer vorgeknöpft – und deren Umgang mit dynamischen Hybridprodukten.

As AI continues to dominate headlines and crypto continues to evolve behind the scenes, the real story may lie in their convergence. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Dan Kim from Coinbase to discuss how these two technologies are shaping the future of digital commerce and development. Dan leads the Coinbase Developer Platform, a project focused on simplifying blockchain development for millions of developers worldwide. He shared how the platform abstracts away complexity through familiar SDKs and APIs, removing the need for deep blockchain expertise. This isn't just about making it easier to code on-chain. It's about opening the door for new kinds of applications, many of which are being driven by AI. We dug into the emerging concept of "agentic commerce," where AI agents can autonomously carry out transactions using blockchain infrastructure. These agents are now capable of acting on our behalf, making purchases and managing digital assets within defined parameters. This shift is already changing how developers think about building tools for e-commerce, travel, and digital services. Dan also discussed the evolving role of creators in this new landscape. Blockchain technology combined with AI is creating new ways to monetize content, build applications, and launch experiences without relying on traditional platforms. He even shared a personal example—his own AI-powered music project that turns complex crypto topics into relatable Top 40 tracks. From the reawakening of HTTP's long-forgotten 402 payment code to the real-world implications of AI agents handling financial transactions, this conversation revealed just how quickly things are moving. For developers and business leaders alike, the fusion of AI and crypto is no longer speculative. It's here, and it's changing how we interact, build, and pay.

The Daytona founders - Ivan Burazin and Vedran Jukic - discuss their pivot to an AI agent cloud. We dig into the new infrastructure requirements of developing agents that need their own sandboxes to operate in.A year ago, we had them on to talk about Daytona giving us remote development environments for humans, and they have now pivoted the company to focusing on providing cloud hosting environments for AI agents to operate.I suspect this is something we're all gonna eventually need to tackle as we work to automate more of our software engineering. So we spend time breaking down the concepts and the real world needs of humans developing agents, and then the needs of AI that require places to run their own tools in code.Check out the video podcast version here https://youtu.be/l8LBqDUwtV8Creators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Bret Fisher - Host Beth Fisher - Producer Ivan Burazin - Guest Vedran Jukic - Guest You can also support my content by subscribing to my YouTube channel and my weekly newsletter at bret.news!Grab the best coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes courses.Join my cloud native DevOps community on Discord.Grab some merch at Bret's Loot BoxHomepage bretfisher.com (00:00) - Intro (06:08) - Daytona's Sandbox Technology (12:57) - Practical Applications and Use Cases (14:29) - Security and Isolation in AI Agents (17:59) - Start Up Times for Sandboxing and Kubernetes (22:51) - Daytona vs Lambda (31:06) - Rogue Models and Isolation (34:54) - Humanless Operations and the Future of DevOps (47:17) - SDK vs MCP (50:15) - Human in the Loop (51:13) - Daytona: Open Source vs Product Offering

Updating developer tools is essential for developers who want to stay efficient, secure, and competitive. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how maintaining modern toolsets helps individuals and teams deliver better software, faster. With support from AI-generated analysis and real-world experience, they outline the risks of falling behind—and how to move forward. Listen to the full episode of Building Better Developers with AI for practical insights and ideas you can start applying today. Efficiency and Profitability When Updating Developer Tools AI captured the core message well: using outdated tools slows down delivery, creates unnecessary friction, and ultimately reduces profitability. For side hustlers and teams alike, this loss of efficiency can make or break a project. Rob pointed out that many developers begin their careers using only basic tools. Without proper exposure to modern IDEs like IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, or Eclipse, they miss out on powerful features such as debugging tools, plugin support, container integration, and real-time collaboration. Warning Signs You Should Be Updating Developer Tools How do you know it's time to update your development tools? Rob and Michael discussed key red flags: Frequent crashes or poor performance Lack of support for modern languages or frameworks Weak integration with tools like GitHub Actions or Docker Outdated or unsupported plugins Inconsistent tooling across team members Neglecting to update developer tools can lead to slow onboarding, poor collaboration, and increased bugs—especially in fast-paced or regulated environments. Tool Standardization vs. Flexibility When Updating Tools There's a balance between letting developers choose their tools and ensuring consistency across a team. While personal comfort can boost productivity, it may also cause challenges when teams debug or collaborate. Rob and Michael recommend hosting internal hackathons to explore new toolchains or standardize workflows. These events give teams a structured way to evaluate tools and share findings. The Security Risk of Not Updating Developer Tools Michael highlighted that outdated tooling doesn't just slow developers down—it creates serious security and compliance risks. Being just one or two versions behind can open vulnerabilities that violate standards like HIPPA, OWASP or SOX. Regular updates to SDKs, plugins, and IDEs are essential for staying compliant, especially in sensitive industries like finance or healthcare. How to Evaluate New Tools Before Updating Developer Toolchains Rob offered a practical framework for evaluating new tools: Does it solve a real pain point? Start with a side project or proof of concept. Check for strong community support and documentation. Balance between stable and innovative. Michael added a note of caution: avoid adopting tools with little community activity or long-term support. If a GitHub project has only a couple of contributors and poor maintenance, it's a red flag. Developer Tools to Review and Update Regularly To keep your development environment current, Rob suggested reviewing these tool categories often: IDEs and code editors Version control tools CI/CD systems and build automation Testing and QA frameworks Package managers and dependency systems Containerization and environment management platforms Using AI to convert simple apps into different frameworks can also help evaluate new tools—just make sure not to share proprietary code. Final Thoughts Modern development demands modern tooling. From cleaner code to faster deployment and stronger team collaboration, the benefits of updating developer tools are clear. Whether you're an independent developer or part of a larger organization, regularly reviewing and upgrading your toolset is a habit worth forming.

We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie “GaProgMan” Taylor. In this episode, Mark Fussell from Diagrid joins us to talk about Dapr—that's D-A-P-R—the Distributed Application Runtime, which aims to make it trivial to build applications in a distributed manner: covering things like service discovery, Pubsub messaging, and distribution of your microservice-based applications. "And the reason why I mentioned that is because, going to your AI discussion, is that we had an amazing contributor actually from Microsoft, actually he's ex-Microsoft now, a guy called Roberto Rodriguez, who worked in Microsoft Research, We built an agentic AI framework on top of Dapr workflows because it had this power of being able to do recoverability and coordination."— Mark Fussell Along the way, we cover the history of Dapr, how it started as a Microsoft incubator project (and was heavily inspired by Project Tye), and how it's now a full graduated project of the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). Anyway, without further ado, let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

Welcome back to Not Fintech Investment Advice, where Simon Taylor and I talk about fintech companies that we're definitely not giving investment advice on! We kick things off with Nekuda. Human-not-present is the new card-not-present. Nekuda's building SDKs (software development kits) for agentic checkout, so your AI assistant can securely store and inject payment credentials at just the right moment. This is Visa's “agent on file” era. We've spent a decade trying to keep bots out of commerce. Now we're figuring out how to let the right ones in (without blowing up the fraud model). What happens to trust, attribution, and liability when no human's at the checkout? Next is Vontive. Call them embedded mortgage lending for investment properties (basically, BNPL for real estate investors).They raised $135M in 2022, just added fresh equity from Citi, and secured a $150M revolving securitization shelf. They connect proptech platforms, banks, and marketplaces with private credit, so those platforms can embed short-term bridge loans or long-term rental mortgages directly into their UX. They don't hold the loans, but they do centralize underwriting across a very regionally variable asset class. And that can get risky fast. Then, there's Atticus, a stablecoin neobank in extreme stealth mode (with Palmer Luckey reportedly leading a new round at a $2B valuation). So naturally, we speculated: is Atticus a stablecoin bank with Fed access? A defense-industrial banking layer with regulatory immunity? If the GENIUS Act passes, this could be the first stablecoin issuer with full access to traditional rails. Finally, there's Affiniti. Embedded, vertical-specific SMB credit cards. Affiniti partners with trade associations (pharmacists, HVAC techs, auto dealers) to co-brand its SMB credit cards and distribute to pre-qualified member bases. They hit $5.5M ARR in year one and are on pace for $1B in transaction volume this year. Their edge is twofold: tailored underwriting based on industry norms, and an AI-powered CFO agent that flags anomalies, forecasts bills, and suggests vendor strategies. It's Ramp-as-a-service for the parts of the market that Ramp and Brex won't touch. The scaling question then becomes: choose depth (more products) or breadth (more industries)? We'll be watching. Plus, a manifestation: can someone please build a model that uses cashflow data to detect early signs of gambling addiction? It's doable, valuable, and might just save lives.

In this episode ofThe New Stack Makers, Nitric CEO Steve Demchuk discusses how the frustration of building frontend apps within rigid FinTech environments led to the creation of the Nitric framework — a tool designed to eliminate the friction between developers and cloud infrastructure. Unlike traditional Infrastructure as Code (IaC), where developers must manage both app logic and infrastructure definitions separately, Nitric introduces “Infrastructure from Code.” This approach allows developers to focus solely on application logic while the platform infers and automates infrastructure needs using SDKs and CLI tools across multiple languages and cloud providers.Demchuk emphasizes that Nitric doesn't remove platform team control but enforces it consistently. Guardrails defined by platform teams guide infrastructure provisioning, ensuring security and compliance — even as developers use AI tools to rapidly generate code. The result is a streamlined workflow where developers move faster, AI enhances productivity, and platform teams retain oversight. This episode offers engineering leaders insight into a paradigm shift in how cloud infrastructure is managed in the AI era.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights about Nitric: Building a Serverless Meme Generator With Nitric and OpenAIWhy Most Companies Are Struggling With Infrastructure as Code Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1049: Today we're diving into Toyota's bold software move with the redesigned RAV4 Hybrid, watching Tesla and Waymo duel for robotaxi dominance, and seeing how Home Depot is holding the line on prices as tariffs rattle retailShow Notes with links:Toyota's sixth-gen RAV4 Hybrid isn't just sleeker—it's smarter. As the first model to feature the all-new Arene operating system, the global bestseller is now a testbed for Toyota's software-first future.Arene is built by Woven by Toyota, the automaker's in-house software arm and made up of three core components: Arene SDK (to build apps and features), Arene Tools (to virtually test them), and Arene Data (to collect and use real-world driver feedback).In practice, that means Toyota can push OTA updates that improve safety systems like Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 based on global user data, often updating every few weeks or months, mirroring how smartphone OS updates roll out.The SDK powers the new voice agent and center display; the data system creates a feedback loop that improves regional performance by learning from users in 180 countries.“Software can be an added layer where we can evolve the car over time,” said Woven CTO John Absmeier. “We help your Toyota grow old with you.”Tesla and Waymo are tackling robotaxis from different angles—Tesla with bold camera-only tech, and Waymo with sensor-packed precision. But a real-world test in San Francisco handed one of them a clear win.Waymo's service, active since 2024, uses 29 cameras, 5 lidars, and 6 radars in Jaguar I-PACEs.Tesla's FSD Supervised software, tested in a Model 3, relies solely on eight external cameras—with its FSD Unsupervised version launching in Austin next month.On winding SF roads from Twin Peaks to Chase Center, both systems performed well—until Tesla's FSD ran a red light at a busy intersection.The Waymo delivered a confident, human-like ride, including a lane change that “seemed like it was just tired of waiting.”“It's got New York cab driver energy,” said tester Alistair Barr of Waymo's proactive driving style.As tariffs squeeze the retail sector, Home Depot is leaning into its U.S.-based supply chain and scale advantage to keep prices steady—even as competitors like Walmart warn of price hikes.Over half of Home Depot's inventory is sourced domestically, with imports on the decline.CFO Richard McPhail says no single foreign country will represent more than 10% of purchases within 12 months.Q1 2025 revenue rose 9.4% to $39.9B, with average transaction values ticking up slightly to $90.71.The company saw 394.8 million transactions, a 2.1% increase year-over-year.“We saw continued customer engagement across smaller projects,” said CEO Ted Decker.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Vojtěch Meluzín is the founder and CEO of MeldaProduction, a Czech-based audio software company renowned for its innovative and versatile audio plugins. Born and raised in the Czech Republic, Meluzín's journey into music and technology began early. He started programming at the age of 10 and was already creating music on an Atari using Cubase by the age of 8. Meluzín pursued his passion for music and technology through formal education, culminating in a university degree where he developed a GUI system for plugins as part of his diploma work. His initial foray into audio software development was the creation of MDrummer, a project that began as a school assignment but evolved into a commercial product. Encouraged by a peer to market his creation, Meluzín improved MDrummer significantly and decided to venture into the audio plugin industry independently. Under his leadership, MeldaProduction has grown to offer over 120 plugins, including the flagship MSoundFactory and MTurboComp. Meluzín is known for his hands-on approach, having developed the company's custom framework without relying on third-party SDKs, allowing for complete control and optimization. He emphasizes innovation over imitation, often critiquing the industry's focus on analog emulation and instead leveraging digital capabilities to create unique audio processing tools. Meluzín's work is characterized by a commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio software, integrating machine learning and advanced algorithms to enhance functionality and user experience. His dedication to quality and innovation has positioned MeldaProduction as a respected name in the audio production community. Vojtech Meluzin Links Mr. Bill's Links
