In this episode of HFS Unfiltered, Saurabh Gupta, President of HFS Research, sits down with Amit Nagar, CEO of Everforth Quinnox, and Shiv Iyer, President of Everforth, to discuss how the services-as-software vision is becoming a reality. First introduced by HFS in 2024, services-as-software reflects a future where agentic and generative AI transform services into platform-led, outcome-based models that are no longer tied to traditional headcount. Quinnox was one of the first firms to put this vision into practice and is now scaling it through Everforth. Amit and Shiv explain what the acquisition means, why Everforth is "Quinnox at scale," and how the combined organization delivers value across the entire software development lifecycle. The conversation explores how clients are shifting their focus from team size to business outcomes delivered through AI and people. The leaders share real-world examples, including reducing delivery teams by up to 65% and cutting ticket resolution times from nearly 15 hours to just 16 seconds with 90% accuracy. They also discuss why success depends on redesigning delivery around client processes rather than relying on traditional service models. Amit and Shiv also examine the importance of trust, long-term partnerships, and proven outcomes when adopting AI, the significant opportunity in the mid-market, and the risk of creating new technical debt. They conclude with practical advice for CIOs looking to move beyond legacy services and accelerate AI-driven transformation.

260803PC Die Grünen leben im Wolkenkukusheim? Von wegen!Mensch Mahler am 03.08.2026Die jüngste Urabstimmung der Grünen in Baden-Württemberg beschäftigte sich mit Palantir, der umstrittenen Analyse-Software des US-Investors und Demokratieverächters Peter Thiel. Ich habe natürlich zugestimmt, Palantir durch eine nationale Software zu ersetzen. Es geht um polizeiliche Überwachung. Der Aufschrei war groß. Wieder mal die weltfremden Grünen, die keine Alternative zur Ami-Software haben. Jetzt müssen die, die Grünen mit hämischen Kommentaren verachten, mal kurz die Luft anhalten. Denn unser Ministerpräsident heiß Cem Özdemir. Er hat den Rüstungskonzern Hensoldt in Oberkochen besucht. Und interessante Neuigkeiten in Sachen Überwachungssoftware mitgebracht. Die Kernbotschaft: „Wir stellen uns als nationales Palantir auf!“ Hensoldt sieht sich in der Lage, zusammen mit Partnern – etwa der Digital-Sparte der Schwarz-Gruppe, bekannt als Discounter Lidl und IBM – der Landesregierung eine Alternative zur Polizeisoftware Gotham – ganz ohne die Ami-Marktführer Palantir – zu liefern. Und wieder kläffen die Wadenbeißer, die sich auf die Wirtschaftsgrünen im Südwesten eingeschossen haben: IBM? Das doch auch ein Ami-Konzern! Aber die Beteiligung von IBM Deutschland mit Sitz in Ehningen bei Stuttgart bedeutet keine Einschränkung der nationalen oder europäischen Souveränität. Ein wichtiger Schritt, um sich von der Bevormundung US-Amerikas abzukoppeln. Wir können das auch!Die Grünen – zugegeben in ihrer Anfangszeit eine pazifistische Partei – hat die Zeichen der Zeit längst erkannt. So lange die Welt so gefährlich sei wie heute, „müssen wir in der Lage sein, uns zu schützen“, so Özdemir in Oberkochen. Bei den Grünen sieht er hierfür keinen Nachholbedarf. Er habe schon vor den Gaslieferungen aus Russland gewarnt, als SPD und CDU noch auf die Nord-Stream-Leitungen setzten. Der vielgescholtene und verspottete – in meinen Augen völlig verkannte – Robert Habeck hatte schon vor der russischen Vollinvasion in der Ukraine Waffenlieferungen für das überfallene Land gefordert; selbst die CDU war damals noch dagegen.Die verstärkten Investitionen in die Rüstungsindustrie können die Autoindustrie nicht ersetzen. Hat auch keiner gesagt. Aber immerhin beschäftigen Rüstungskonzerne wie Airbus und Hensoldt, Mittelständler und Startups in der Branche allein in Baden-Württemberg 42.000 Menschen. Trumpf in Ditzingen, Zeiss und Hensoldt in Oberkochen bilden eine Troika, die für die Weltwirtschaft Einzigartiges leistet. In Oberkochen werden die entscheidenden Komponenten für die Lithografie-Maschinen hergestellt, mit denen das niederländische Unternehmen ASML die Halbleiterindustrie der Welt versorgt. Alle bedeutenden Halbleiter-Hersteller der Welt – Intel in den USA, Samsung in Südkorea und TSMC in Taiwan – sind angewiesen auf diese Großgeräte, deren Geheimnis in der Winzigkeit ihrer inneren Strukturen liegt. Komplexeste Halbleiter in der Größe eines Daumennagels. Das kann weltweit nur Baden-Württemberg. Und wer regiert im Ländle seit 15 Jahren? Die Wirtschaftsgrünen, die allen anderen Parteien in dieser Frage haushoch überlegen sind. Von wegen rückwärtsgewandt. Die Spötter des Veggie – Days sollten einmal ganz still sein und schauen, was die von ihnen bevorzugten Parteien in Richtung Zukunftstechnologie auf den Weg gebracht haben. Ich höre eine lange und absolute Stille. Doch nein – da krakelt noch einer. Ein Vertreter der alternativen Fakten. Klappe halten, sechs, setzen. Hosted on Acast.

Jason offers practical strategies for reducing administrative work, improving follow-up, and helping sales professionals spend more time doing what matters most—building authentic relationships with their customers.KEY TAKEAWAYSShift your CRM mindset from reporting to revenue generation.Technology cannot fix a broken or undefined sales process.Consistent follow-up builds trust and protects customer relationships.Leaders must model CRM adoption and create accountability across the team.Lead scoring and customer insights help prioritize the right opportunities.AI and automation should reduce administrative work—not replace relationships.Ongoing coaching and reinforcement are essential for long-term CRM success.Strong CRM habits improve consistency, productivity, and sales performance.The best CRM is the one your team actually uses every day.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSelling from the heart is being authentic, honest, and genuine.The tool alone isn't going to solve the problem.I've never met a salesperson that doesn't want to follow up.Software doesn't solve problems.

This week on the Friday Deploy, Ben and Andrew debate the controversial rise of dark software factories, exploring whether centralizing agentic compute creates engineering nirvana or unmaintainable code rot. The hosts also discuss the importance of versioning your work to protect your original ideas from AI's tendency to average out creativity. Finally, they tackle the "orchestrator's tax," explaining why establishing cognitive locality matters far more than assigning cute personas to your sub-agents. Register: Leading engineering when AI writes the code - August 5th in LondonFollow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's stories:Why Software Factories FailA guide to cloud software factories for engineering leadersYou just hired a million bad employees.An AI that only sees the latest version will never protect your original ideaThe Orchestrator's TaxOFFERSStart Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.Book a Demo: Learn how you can ship faster, improve DevEx, and lead with confidence in the AI era.LEARN ABOUT LINEARBAI Code Reviews: Automate reviews to catch bugs, security risks, and performance issues before they hit production.AI & Productivity Insights: Go beyond DORA with AI-powered recommendations and dashboards to measure and improve performance.AI-Powered Workflow Automations: Use AI-generated PR descriptions, smart routing, and other automations to reduce developer toil.MCP Server: Interact with your engineering data using natural language to build custom reports and get answers on the fly.

In episode 54 of The Kubelist Podcast, Marc and Benjie sit down with David Crawshaw.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore the risks and opportunities AI presents for companies in an interview with Sophia Mendelsohn.   Sophia is Chief Sustainability and Commercial Officer at SAP, one of the world's largest producers of software. She outlines how companies are leveraging AI to become more sustainable. She also explains why many executives have "a blind spot" in their AI strategy when it comes to sustainability.   "They're racing to scale the technology, and we're treating sustainability sort of as last year's hype cycle ... instead of a condition for AI growth," Sophia says. "AI's first wave of expansion was fueled by our awe of the technology, but our second wave of the expansion has to be powered and protected by our ability to reconcile AI with the physical world we're using it in."   This episode is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview Chief Sustainability Officers around the world and across industries. Listen to other episodes in this series here.  Further reading:  AI adoption is soaring, but few companies are measuring its impact | S&P Global  S&P Global's Top 10 Sustainability Trends to Watch in 2026 | S&P Global  Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global  DISCLAIMER       By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

uPerform discusses role-based training, in-application guidance and just-in-time learning to assist healthcare organizations in improving adoption of EHRs and other enterprise software

Summary "Attorney Matt Damon" needs to draft a demand letter, but the facts he needs are scattered across medical records, deposition transcripts, case notes, and email threads. Jared Correia brings in Claude Simpson, Vice President of Client Operations at Smart Advocate, to unpack why that scattered data problem is nearly universal in legal practice. Claude explains that documents, not buzzwords, still run the practice of law, and that AI only works well when it is pulling from a structured case management system. They cover client portals, the real costs of switching platforms, data ownership disputes with cloud vendors, and how to measure ROI beyond time saved. Key Takeaways AI is only as good as the data feeding it, and case management software is what gives that data structure. Client portals are underused by most firms, even though clients already expect 24/7 self-service access from their bank and doctor. Centralizing case data beats stacking disconnected point solutions, even when integration with existing tools is required. Switching case management systems is harder than adopting one for the first time, and change management is the real obstacle. ROI on case management software shows up in turnaround time, error rates, client satisfaction, and staff retention, not just hours saved. About the Guest Claude Simpson is the Vice President of Client Operations at Smart Advocate, a case management platform built for law firms. He has been with the company since 2013, bringing a background as a practicing trial attorney, including medical malpractice litigation, along with early technology experience dating back to building one of the first local area networks at the New York State Supreme Court's Appellate Division in the 1980s.

[00:05:37 - 00:06:04] Jared and Claude agree AI needs structured data, and case management software provides that backbone. [00:10:38 - 00:11:24] Claude Simpson makes the case for client portals: clients expect 24/7 access the same way they get it from their bank or doctor. [00:13:14 - 00:14:03] Claude Simpson warns that disjointed systems create frustration and increase the risk of missed information. [00:16:53 - 00:17:34] Claude Simpson on convincing a 30-year veteran attorney to switch systems: show them they can be even more successful. [00:26:53 - 00:27:44] Claude Simpson flags a real risk: what happens if a firm and its cloud host end up in a contract dispute over data access. [00:29:19 - 00:30:31] Claude Simpson breaks down ROI beyond time saved: turnaround, error rate, client satisfaction, and staff retention. [00:33:00 - 00:34:00] Claude Simpson predicts AI bots listening in on firm discussions to suggest case values in real time.  

Ein einzelner Prompt, der mal eben 7 Millionen Tokens verarbeitet, um eine komplette Welt in 3D zu generieren? Für Jens Polomski ist das schlicht ganz normaler Alltag. Der KI-Experte, Content Creator und Mitgründer von SnipKI beobachtet die rasante Entwicklung der KI-Landschaft hautnah – und weiß genau, wo Unternehmen im Praxiseinsatz noch immer der Schuh drückt. Denn während die Modelle immer schneller, günstiger und autonomer werden, offenbart sich in den Büros oft eine ernste Realität: 100 eingekaufte KI-Lizenzen bedeuten noch lange keine gelungene Transformation. Oft scheitert es schon an den Grundlagen. In diesem Insight Talk erklärt Jens im Gespräch mit Christoph, warum wir manchmal sogar einen „Internet-Führerschein“ bräuchten, wie SnipKI Teams über Wochen hinweg echtes KI-Mindset vermittelt und wieso Vibe-Coding die klassische Softwareentwicklung demokratisiert. Außerdem sprechen die beiden über den Vormarsch von Open-Weight-Modellen aus China, verrückte Support-Anfragen wütender User und die Frage, warum wir in Zukunft viel mehr Software nutzen werden – aber immer weniger klassische Interfaces.

Reorganizace Xboxu pokračuje. O práci přišlo 1600 lidí a stejný počet bude následovat v dalších měsících. Divize se ztenčí o pět studií. Microsoft se chce dále soustředit na velké značky. Chystá pokračování The Elder Scrolls, Falloutu nebo Dooma. Jen si nejsme jistí, jestli po čistce bude mít tyto hry kdo vyvíjet. Škrty mimořádně zasáhly např. legendární id Software. Hlavním tématem tohoto Podcastu Živě je ale smrt her na fyzických nosičích. Sony od ledna 2028 nové hry nebude vydávat na Blu-ray. Vyhne se tak třetím stranám a bazarům. Zisky ale může navýšit i vlastní cenotvorbou, kterou bude mít plně pod kontrolou. Je to právě Sony, které se navíc proslavilo tím, že z účtů maže zakoupený obsah. Nemáme z toho dobrý pocit. Plně digitální distribuce skrze jedinou platformu je pohromou z pohledu archivace kulturního dědictví. Jak ostatně vidíme na nedávno ukončeném digitálním katalogu her pro PlayStation 3 a PS Vita, tisíce her najednou zmizí a nikdo další se k nim už nedostane. Situaci komentuje Martin Nahodil, šéfredaktor magazínu Doupě.cz. Program pořadu 01:26 – Xbox propustil 1600 lidí 07:56 – Strach o id Software 24:00 – Sony zruší hry na Blu-ray 30:03 – Mamon 38:14 – Smrt krabicovek 55:44 – Sony rádo maže

Lawfare Book Review Editor Jonathan Cedarbaum sits down with the Soufan Center's Executive Director Colin Clarke and Senior Research Fellow Chad Serena, to discuss the Center's recent report, “Closing the Gap: Software Understanding and U.S. National Security.” They explore what the authors call the “software understanding gap”—the growing disconnect between the rapid pace of software development and our ability to fully understand, assess, and secure increasingly complex systems. They discuss how adversarial state actors and criminal groups can exploit this gap, the ways in which it poses a national security challenge, and what government agencies, private industry, and software developers can do to better mitigate risks and strengthen U.S. cybersecurity.Additional reading:Douglas Ghormley, Tod Amon, Christopher Harrison, and Tim Loffredo, “The National Need for Software Understanding: The Present Crisis, Technical Capability Gaps, and Path Forward,” Sandia National Laboratories (March 2025)To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Benedicte shares her takeaways from the plumbing course. Benedikt goes on a few AWS adventures.Benedicte had so much fun and learned a lot from her plumbing course, even sharing a mindblowing tip of using a balloon to help clear out water from the tap mechanisms during winter. On the work front, their system at Whee! is now live syncing prospects and customers to their email list. Benedicte's also figuring out how to fix the data inconsistency between the bike availability on their website versus the actual availability of bikes at the workshop.The Userlist team reworked their entire data model for themes to support the new stuff. Benedikt also set up a proper CDN for user uploaded assets so there's client side caching. He also took some time to set up Userlist on AWS but is quite unsure if they should move over for good because of the complexity and the unknowns.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell talks with Freight Hero Co-Founder and CEO, Andre Martins, about how his company uses AI-powered operations as a service to automate the highly manual world of freight brokerage. Andre explains the broker's cradle-to-grave responsibilities, why traditional software often fails in an exception-heavy, relationship-driven industry, and how Freight Hero instead “does the work” with an AI agent (Robin) plus a human-in-the-loop team. They discuss real-world results such as brokers growing revenue without adding headcount, surviving margin compression during the “Great Freight Recession,” and reallocating staff from low-value tracking tasks to higher-value sales and customer service. Andre also shares details on Freight Hero's recent seed round, their roadmap into billing and carrier sales, and his advice for brokers who are skeptical about adopting AI but need a low-friction way to modernize their operations.

Your AI bill just stopped behaving like a software bill. For twenty years, IT leaders got very good at counting seats: buy a hundred, pay for a hundred. Then AI swapped the seat for a meter, and the number stopped holding still.This episode follows the burn from three vantage points: a financial analyst rationing a $250-a-month token budget he tore through in two days; the tech executive who watched enterprise AI bills climb 7x, 10x, 20x; and the IT leader at a 300-person company who refused to solve it with a usage dashboard. Along the way: Meta's leaked internal token leaderboard, Uber blowing its entire annual AI budget by April, and the uncomfortable question of who profits when everyone's told to use more.In this episode:Why token-based pricing breaks the budgeting playbook IT has relied on for two decadesWhat happens to the people using the tool when the meter starts running — and why rationing has a hidden costWhy measuring usage is the wrong scoreboard, and who benefits when you keep score anywayThe mid-market move that beats policing: measure centrally, push the judgment to managers, and get clear on what you're optimizing forFeaturing Brian Elliott, CEO of Work Forward; Daryl Dore, Senior Director of IT & Information Security at Higher Logic; and Benjamin, a financial analyst who spoke with us on condition of anonymity.Support our sponsor:This episode is brought to you by Sophos MDR.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Matt Franz back to the show. Matt is the founder of Eagle Point Capital, an advisory firm focused on long-term investing. Eagle Point Capital has more than 5,000 subscribers on Substack.   Matt kicks things off by sharing the kinds of companies that he likes to search for. He says that these are "simple, predictable, and profitable" businesses that he can look at over a period of five-plus years and know where they're heading. But even though Matt's firm likes to have a long holding period for its stock picks, the team is constantly assessing and investigating what's occurring with the companies to ensure that they're still worthwhile buys. Matt then begins discussing a vertical market software ("VMS") company he likes. Despite the stock starting to decline following the "SaaSpocalypse" and more recent concerns of AI harming the business, Matt says there's no reason to be afraid. (0:00)   Next, Matt explains why decentralization is one of the biggest strengths for the company. It has about 1,500 business units that operate independently. Management looks at what works and what doesn't and shares the data throughout the rest of the business. But the individual units are still free to evaluate the practices and decide if they're beneficial for that particular unit and can implement them as needed. This allows the company as a whole to constantly innovate and improve itself. Matt then discusses the process this company goes through to make acquisitions. It's able to find bargain deals on smaller, overlooked businesses that can have a dominant role in their respective fields. And with the success that it has had with this strategy, it's leaning more into this method. (20:33)   Finally, Matt presents another company he's fond of. Its focus is mainly on coal royalties, though it also owns soda-ash assets as well. It had suffered from years of debt after investing in multiple businesses before making coal its primary business. Today, it's nearly debt-free, and while coal prices are low today, with the many mines that it owns, if the prices start soaring, the value of those mines (and the company) will also go up. And Matt leaves listeners with advice on deciding to stay long in positions in the face of potential downturns. (35:58)

Calvin #1: Some more things about Django I've been enjoying Julia Evans is learning "2010-style" web dev (Django + SQL + server-rendered HTML) after years of Go backends and JS-heavy frontends Query builders: likes defining custom QuerySet classes with chainable filter methods (.approved().future().with_tags()) — more readable than raw SQL Template filters: highlights urlize, linebreaksbr, json_script, and especially querystring for building/modifying query-string links in templates Migrations: still loves Django's auto-generated migrations — 19 and counting on her project Skips inheritance for class-based views; prefers function-based views for sharing code, though fine using Django's own mixins/interfaces Performance surprise: CPU profiling (via py-spy) — not slow DB queries — revealed the culprit; she'd accidentally disabled the cached template loader, and re-enabling it took throughput from ~2-3 req/s to ~12 req/s on a $10/mo VM Michael #2: Who cleans up after the vibe-coding party? FT Magazine piece by Sam Learner (July 11) on AI coding tools overwhelming open source maintainers - sent in by listener Dylan McConnell, whose main point was that this ran in the Financial Times, not a dev blog. cURL as the case study - Daniel Stenberg has been the only full-time person on it for years; libcurl has been installed an estimated 20+ billion times with 3,000+ listed contributors. Bug bounty killed - cURL ended its paid security bounty program in January, citing an "explosion of AI slop reports" that take real time to debunk and drain morale. Extractive contributions - authoring a PR is now nearly free, reviewing one still costs a human; tldraw's Steve Ruiz closed outside contributions entirely, asking why he'd want someone else writing the easy part. Guido weighs in - van Rossum says projects are holding emergency meetings over the slop flow, and notes LLM patches tend to touch unrelated parts of a file, making review more tedious. "Vibe Coding Kills Open Source" - paper from Miklós Koren's group: packages frequently recommended by coding models saw big download jumps with no matching engagement, breaking the reputation loop that sustains maintainers. Stack Overflow flatlined - over 100,000 questions a month before ChatGPT, under 1,500 last month, with the response rate cut roughly in half; the public archive is now stale training data. The course-creator angle - Josh Comeau's newest web dev course launched at about a third of prior enrollment, and he worries about devs who never learn which questions to ask. But the most interesting portion is what was omitted. Focused on: The end of the curl bug-bounty Omitted: High-Quality Chaos Why the omission is interesting It fits a narrative. The FT piece is a maintenance-and-decline story, and January-Stenberg is a perfect witness for it. April-Stenberg complicates it - same person, same project, better data, opposite direction on the specific claim being used. The tell is already in the article. Learner quotes Stenberg saying AI tools are much better at finding problems than fixing them. That's the April thesis in one line, and it goes undeveloped. Reason for the shift is process, not vibes. Killing the bounty removed the cash incentive and the venue change filtered the rest. Worth saying out loud, because "AI reports got better" isn't quite it - "no bounty plus a real triage platform" is closer. Joke too: Sarah O'Connor wrote a related piece (is this just before skynet launches?) Calvin #3: Where Did All Your AI Tokens Go? AgentsView to the rescue! Local-first desktop/web app for browsing, searching, and analyzing your past AI coding agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, Aider, and dozens more) Auto-discovers session files on your machine — no config needed; everything stored locally in SQLite, no cloud/accounts agentsview usage is a drop-in ccusage alternative — reads from pre-indexed SQLite, reports run 80–220× faster on large histories New Activity dashboard shows peak concurrency, active vs. idle time, agent-minutes, and cost — filterable by project/agent/machine, with a -json CLI report too Full-text + optional semantic search across every session; also imports Claude.ai/ChatGPT chat exports Install via pip install agentsview, uvx agentsview, brew install --cask agentsview, or download desktop binaries from GitHub Releases Michael #4: Careful with phishing all The situation I pass this along because it was a pretty sneaky bit of targeted phishing, and happened to play off an old interaction in bandit's repo. As usual with phishing scams there are a bunch of tells that this isn't legitimate, but just enough plausibility that I could see falling for it in a weak moment. Relative nobodies like me haven't historically been worth the effort to hit with scams this specific. Agents change the game though :-/. Be careful out there folks!

I build a deterministic gate that filters that class of Bandit noise, and #1350 was literally the case I just fixed: NextToken / next_token / page_token / nextPageToken now stay quiet, while a genuine hardcoded token like api_token="sk-live-..." still fires. Verified against your exact case. 30-second paste: https://blacktrace.co/noise-eraser Where it still trips, published: https://blacktrace.co/kruc Curious whether it clears what you hit -- and if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply. Patrick, Blacktrace I asked Claude for some analysis too. It was pretty good at finding them. The message name-drops enough real detail to feel legit, but the structure is pure phishing - everything in it exists to get AJ onto blacktrace.co. The strongest ones: Freemail sender, corporate signoff. Signs as "Patrick, Blacktrace" but sends from emailpjv@gmail.com. Real company outreach comes from the company domain, not a personal Gmail - and there's no last name. Over-specific targeting. It mirrors AJ's exact public activity - issue #1350, the B105 rule, the NextToken false positive, even the token variants. That's the "just enough plausibility" AJ flagged, and it's exactly what agents make cheap: scrape a GitHub issue, auto-generate tailored bait. Legit cold outreach rarely reads your history back to you this precisely. The entire payload is two links. Strip the technical flattery and the message is just "paste here" plus "see results here." When the whole point of an email is the click, that's the tell. "30-second paste." Low-friction urgency, and "paste" most likely means paste your source into their tool - handing your code to a stranger's site. Exfiltration dressed as convenience. Brand-new, no-reputation domain. blacktrace.co has no track record, and the name is doing some ominous work. The /kruc slug is random noise, not how real product pages get named. Precise-sounding jargon that's actually vague. "Deterministic gate," "noise-eraser" - impressive, empty. Bolted onto correct real details (B105 is the Bandit hardcoded-password test, sk-live- is a Stripe live-key prefix) to borrow credibility. The disarming close. "if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply" - engineered humility that flatters your expertise and baits a response. Makes engaging feel like you're doing them a favor, which drops your guard.

For years, "Django and async" came with an asterisk. The docs themselves warned you off it. Scary performance notes, a story that felt half-finished. Well, that story just got rewritten, literally, and the person who rewrote it is here to tell you why the old framing was wrong. Carlton Gibson is a former Django Fellow, sat on the security team for eight years, and he's on the steering council. On this episode we get into the async topic doc rewrite, what actually remains versus what was just fear, the new Tasks framework in 6.0, DB-level cascades and fetch modes landing in 6.1, and why free-threading is the bet that's about to pay off big for Django. If you've been told Django's async story isn't ready, this is the episode that puts that myth to bed.

A software vendor dropped a major bombshell, revealing that 6,600 noncitizens were automatically registered to vote in New Jersey due to a system glitch. Governor Mikie Sherrill confirmed the error happened between 2023 and 2024 through the Motor Vehicle Commission's automatic voter registration. While the state says under 400 actually voted, this has sparked massive outrage and questions about election integrity.
