In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi from a long-time listener and first-time caller. I need some advice on a toxic workplace situation. I'm currently unhappy with my job due to a difficult dynamic with a colleague. My manager put us on the same team, meaning we share responsibility for our output. Although this colleague is technically a level below me, they act as though they have seniority. This creates significant friction: they're resistant to advice, insist they're always right, and refuse to accept reality even when they can't deliver what's required. They're incredibly stubborn, and arguing with them about what's feasible takes an excessive amount of effort. The situation is particularly frustrating because I'm held accountable for the shared results. If I weren't responsible for the final outcome, I could probably just ignore their behaviour. Instead, they frequently talk a big game while contributing very little actual work. People unfamiliar with our domain are easily misled by their confidence, even though they are incompetent. Consequently, I'm forced to clean up their mess; otherwise, I'd be the one bearing the blame for the failure. I tried discussing this with my manager, but unfortunately, it made me look bad rather than resolving the issue. If I were the manager, I'd fire this person immediately, but my manager is clearly one of those people who get fooled by their smooth talk. I'm very close to handing in my notice, and let the manager know how incompetent this person is. But I'm furious that I feel I have to give up a role I enjoy just because of someone who makes my life miserable. My question is: Should I stick it out and try to navigate this politics-heavy environment, or is walking away the only option left? How do I leave without burning bridges or letting them win? Hello gentlemen, long time listener of the show and finally getting around to asking my first question (how exciting!) I'm going to be joining a new company in a few months and am wondering how to best handle the transition in order to make an excellent first impression and maybe set myself up for career growth… while not biting off more than I can chew. For context: I'm joining a company that builds QUANTUM COMPUTERS

Monorepo, Polyrepo, Frontend hier, Backend dort, Mobile-App nochmal woanders. Klingt nach sauberer Trennung, führt in der Praxis aber oft zu genau dem, was wir als Entwickler:innen am wenigsten brauchen: Reibung. Abhängige Pull Requests, aufeinander wartende Releases, doppelte Tooling-Arbeit und jede Menge Koordination zwischen Teams. Die spannende Frage ist also nicht nur, ob Monorepos ein Comeback feiern, sondern ob sie heute, mit besserem Tooling und AI im Rücken, endlich ihr Versprechen einlösen.In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Max Kless, Senior Software Engineer bei Nx, über den aktuellen Stand von Monorepos. Wir klären, was ein Monorepo eigentlich ist, warum Monorepo nicht gleich Monorepo ist und wieso ein pragmatischer, hybrider Ansatz für viele Teams sinnvoller ist als ein einziges gigantisches Repository. Außerdem schauen wir auf CI, Caching, Project Graphs, Code Ownership, Plattform-Teams und die kulturelle Seite hinter dem Thema. Denn Monorepos sind nicht nur Architektur und Tooling, sondern auch Zusammenarbeit, Standards und ein bisschen Inner Source im Alltag.Besonders spannend wird es bei AI, LLMs und Coding Agents. Wenn mehr Kontext zu besserer Unterstützung führt, werden Monorepos plötzlich wieder hochrelevant. Wir diskutieren, warum ein gemeinsamer Code-Kontext für AI-Systeme ein echter Hebel sein kann, wo die Grenzen liegen und worauf du bei einer Einführung achten solltest. Wenn du wissen willst, ob Monorepos 2026 mehr sind als alter Google-Glanz, dann bist du hier genau richtig.Bonus: Selbst Jenkins bekommt einen kleinen Ehrenmoment.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

The reason? CEO Dario Amodei refused to lower Claude's guardrails for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. But here is the twist that is setting Reddit on fire: OpenAI has immediately stepped into the vacuum.As OpenAI maneuvers to absorb those multi-billion dollar federal contracts, a massive grassroots 'Cancel OpenAI' movement has ignited on social media. Users in the r/ArtificialInteligence community are reporting a wave of subscription cancellations, with many citing OpenAI's willingness to drop safety standards for 'lawful military use' as a bridge too far.But as OpenAI's consumer base bleeds, Anthropic is seeing a historic surge. For every user leaving OpenAI, it seems two are joining Anthropic, viewing their defiance of the Pentagon as the ultimate proof of their 'Constitutional AI' mission. It's a market split we haven't seen before: OpenAI is becoming the 'Industrial-Military AI,' while Anthropic is being crowned the 'Ethical Consumer's Choice.'This episode is made possible by our sponsors:

Basically, researchers had to manually guess how much to compress an image before the AI started to lose the details. If you compressed too much, the image got blurry. Too little, and the model became too expensive to train.Enter Unified Latents, or UL.In a new paper out of DeepMind Amsterdam, researchers have introduced a framework that replaces that guesswork with a single, cohesive mathematical objective. Instead of training the compressor and the generator separately, UL trains the Encoder, the Prior, and the Decoder all at once.The 'Secret Sauce' here is something called Fixed Gaussian Noise Encoding. By injecting a constant, specific amount of noise during the encoding process, DeepMind has created a 'Maximum Precision Link.' This forces the encoder to be incredibly efficient, focusing only on the most important structures of an image.The results are staggering: UL achieved a state-of-the-art Video Distance score on the Kinetics-600 dataset and hit a competitive 1.4 FID on ImageNet—all while using significantly less computational power than traditional methods.This episode is made possible by our sponsors:

Now, AI is starting to shrink that office into a single server rack. I'm Etienne Noumen, and this is your AI Unraveled Reddit Pulse.A viral discussion is erupting in the r/ArtificialInteligence community centered on a sobering report from the New York Times. The reality is stark: AI is no longer 'promising' to automate white-collar work—it is actively doing it. For a country like India, which built its tech powerhouse status on BPO, customer service, and entry-level coding, this isn't just a market shift; it's being described as a 'historical critical transition.'The Reddit community is calling this a 'Tsunami' that is hitting everywhere at once. One of the top-rated comments points out the 'Demographic Disaster' potential: India has a massive, young population that relies on these 'ladder' jobs to enter the middle class. If the bottom rungs of that ladder—data entry, basic debugging, and Level 1 support—are replaced by agents like Claude or Perplexity, the entire economic engine of the subcontinent faces a stall.Other users are noting that the 'Cheap Labor' advantage has officially evaporated. When an AI agent costs pennies an hour and never sleeps, even the most efficient human workforce cannot compete on price. The race is now on: can India upskill 5 million tech workers before the 'Back Office' disappears entirely?This episode is made possible by our sponsors:

This week on DisrupTV, we go beyond the AI hype and into the decisions shaping 2026. Peter Danenberg, Senior Software Engineer at Google DeepMind, joins us to unpack the rapid evolution of multimodal models like Gemini, the race toward AGI, and what he's seeing from inside one of the world's most influential AI labs. We're also joined by David Bray, PhD, Distinguished Chair of the Accelerator at The Stimson Center & Principal/CEO, LDA Ventures Inc., to examine the dangerous assumptions executives are making post-Davos — from AI-driven workforce disruption and machine-speed cyber threats to hardware security risks and why geopolitics can no longer be ignored by business leaders. From meetups and models to geopolitics and governance, this episode is a must-watch for leaders navigating AI at scale.
Rewrites are seductive. Clean slates promise clarity, speed, and “doing it right this time.” In practice, they're often late, over budget, and quietly demoralizing.In this episode of Maintainable, Robby sits down with Brittany Ellich, a Senior Software Engineer at GitHub, to talk about a different path. One rooted in stewardship, readability, and resisting the urge to start over.Brittany's career began with a long string of rebuild projects. Over time, she noticed a pattern. The estimates were wrong. Feature development stalled. Teams burned energy reaching parity with systems they'd already had. That experience pushed her toward a strong belief: if software is in production and serving users, it's usually worth maintaining.[00:00:57] What well-maintained software actually looks likeFor Brittany, readability is the first signal. If code can't be understood, it can't be changed safely. Maintenance begins with making systems approachable for the next person.[00:01:42] Rethinking technical debtShe explains how her understanding of technical debt has evolved. Rather than a fixed category of work, it's often anything that doesn't map directly to new features. Bugs, reliability issues, and long-term risks frequently get lumped together, making prioritization harder than it needs to be.[00:05:49] Why AI changes the maintenance equationBrittany describes how coding agents have made it easier to tackle small, previously ignored maintenance tasks. Instead of waiting for debt to accumulate into massive projects, teams can chip away incrementally. (Related: GitHub Copilot and the Copilot coding agent workflow she's explored.)[00:07:16] Context from GitHub's billing systemsWorking on metered billing at GitHub means correctness and reliability matter more than flash. Billing should be boring. When it's not, customers notice quickly.[00:11:43] Navigating a multi-era codebaseGitHub's original Rails codebase is still in active use. Brittany relies heavily on Git blame and old pull requests to understand why decisions were made, treating them as a form of living documentation.[00:25:27] Treating coding agents like teammatesRather than delegating massive changes, Brittany assigns agents small, well-scoped tasks. She approaches them the same way she would a new engineer: clear instructions, limited scope, and careful review.[00:36:00] Structuring the day to avoid cognitive overloadShe breaks agent interaction into focused windows, checking in a few times a day instead of constantly monitoring progress. This keeps deep work intact while still moving maintenance forward.[00:40:24] Low-risk ways to experimentImproving test coverage and generating repository instructions are safe entry points. These changes add value without risking production behavior.[00:54:10] Navigating team resistance and ethicsBrittany acknowledges skepticism around AI and encourages teams to start with existing backlog problems rather than selling AI as a feature factory.[00:57:57] Books, habits, and staying balancedOutside of software, Brittany recommends Atomic Habits by James Clear, sharing how small routines help her stay focused.The takeaway is clear. AI doesn't replace engineering judgment. Used thoughtfully, it can support the unglamorous work that keeps software alive.Good software doesn't need a rewrite.It needs caretakers.References MentionedGitHub – Brittany's current role and the primary environment discussedGitHub Universe – Where Brittany presented her coding agent workflowAtomic Habits by James Clear – Brittany's recommended book outside of techOvercommitted - Podcast Brittany co-hostsThe Balanced Engineer Newsletter – Brittany's monthly newsletter on engineering, leadership, and balanceBrittany Ellich's website – Central hub for her writing and linksGitHub Copilot – The AI tooling discussed throughout the episodeHow the GitHub billing team uses the coding agent in GitHub Copilot to continuously burn down technical debt – GitHub blog post referencedThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!
