In this Brand Story Podcast, hosts Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin join forces with Ron Bennatan from Imperva to embark on a journey into the world of generative AI. The conversation is a blend of philosophy, technology, and cybersecurity, offering listeners a deep-dive into the complexities and opportunities of AI.The trio explores the accuracy and unpredictability of AI, discussing its ability to handle complex prompts and the unexpected 'hallucinations' it can produce. Bennatan highlights the challenges this poses in a software development lifecycle, emphasizing the non-deterministic nature of AI outputs and the difficulties this poses for automated testing.The conversation also delves into the scalability of AI, discussing the potential for automation at scale despite perceived slowness. Bennatan provides an interesting perspective on AI's tendency to never repeat the same answer, viewing it as both a source of creativity and a potential issue.Cybersecurity is a key theme in the discussion, with Bennatan acknowledging that AI's ability to mimic human communication could elevate the sophistication of social engineering attacks. He also raises the potential for AI to mimic specific individuals, increasing the risk of impersonation, deep fakes, and insider threats. Despite these risks, Bennatan maintains that AI can be a powerful tool for defense, making cyberattacks more sophisticated but also enhancing defenses.The conversation also gets into a philosophical exploration of the Turing test and AI's potential to fool someone into believing it's human. Bennatan suggests that AI doesn't need to excel at everything at once, but can be highly effective in specific tasks. He also envisions AI improving customer service and operational efficiency by handling complex tasks more efficiently than humans.In this episode, listeners get a taste of the intriguing possibilities, challenges, and ethical considerations that AI presents, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, philosophy, and cybersecurity.Note: This story contains promotional content.

Today on Elixir Wizards, Manuel Rubio, author of Erlang/OTP: A Concurrent World and Dan Plyukhin, creator of the UIGC Actor Garbage Collector for Akka, join host Dan Ivovich to compare notes on garbage collection in actor models. The discussion digs into the similarities and differences of actor-based garbage collection in Erlang and Akka and introduces Dan's research on how to perform garbage collection in a distributed actor system. Topics discussed: Akka is akin to Erlang actors for the JVM using Scala, with similar principles like supervision trees, messages, and clustering Erlang uses generational garbage collection and periodically copies live data to the old heap for long-lived elements Actor GC aims to determine when an actor's memory can be reclaimed automatically rather than manually killing actors Distributed actor GC is more challenging than object GC due to the distributed nature and relationships between actors across nodes Challenges include reasoning about failures like dropped messages and crashed nodes GC balance requires optimization of resource release and CPU load management Immutability helps Erlang GC, but copying data for messages impacts performance Research into distributed actor GC is still ongoing, with opportunities for improvement Fault tolerance in Erlang relies on user implementation rather than low-level guarantees Asynchronous messages in Erlang/Elixir mean references may become invalid which is similar to the distributed GC approaches in Dan's research Idempotent messaging is recommended to handle possible duplicates from failures Help your local researcher!

For this episode, Rob and I interviewed Shobana Radhakrishnan, Senior Director of Engineering at Google TV. We talked about: * Overcoming feeling “stupid” and asking “dumb” questions at large group meetings * Why women employees don't need crutches * Building a culture of psychological safety (no, it doesn't happen by accident) * Why taking ownership is the key to career and leadership growth * Why training job interviewers is of paramount importance * Dealing with fear and playing outside your comfort zone * Dealing with naysayers from a place of neutrality and confidence * The “Friday Night” problem and the problem with having way too many subscriptions * Why she chose a career in engineering instead of medicine This was a delightfully rich conversation that will inspire you to grow as a leader and as a human! Special Guest: Shobana Radhakrishnan.
DockerCon showcased a commitment to enhancing the developer experience, with a particular focus on addressing the challenge of debugging containers in Kubernetes. The newly launched Docker Debug offers a language-independent toolbox for debugging both local and remote containerized applications.By abstracting Kubernetes concepts like pods and namespaces, Docker aims to simplify debugging processes and shift the focus from container layers to the application itself. Our guest, Docker Principal Engineer Ivan Pedrazas, emphasized the need to eliminate unnecessary complexities in debugging, especially in the context of Kubernetes, where developers grapple with unfamiliar concerns exposed by the API.Another Docker project, Tape, simplifies deployment by consolidating Kubernetes artifacts into a single package, streamlining the process for developers. The ultimate goal is to facilitate debugging of slim containers with minimal dependencies, optimizing security and user experience in Kubernetes development.While progress is being made, bridging the gap between developer practices and platform engineering expectations remains an ongoing challenge.Learn more from The New Stack about Kubernetes and Docker:Kubernetes Overview, News, and TrendsDocker Rolls out 3 Tools to Speed and Ease DevelopmentWill GenAI Take Jobs?

ONUS: Rethinking Agile Roles and Structures, With Craig Smith and Michael Huynh In this episode, we kick things off by revisiting a captivating talk delivered by Michael and Craig at the Agile Online Summit 2023. The duo urged us to reevaluate the roles of the Scrum Master and Product Owner, and even hinted at potential shifts within Agile organizations. This discussion sparked a larger contemplation in my mind, extending beyond the core arguments presented by Michael and Craig. I took to Twitter to ponder the possibility of Agile serving as a foundational change in how we perceive organizational structures and leadership, leading to a potential revolution. What might this mean for you and your organization? Rethinking Agile Roles Before delving into what the future might hold for Agile practitioners, we asked Craig and Michael to provide a concise summary of their main points from the talk. They urged us to go beyond following “agile dogma” Questioning the purpose of Scrum Master and Product Owner roles Refocus on value generation in Agile practices The need for systemic thinking In this episode, we also explore how it's not just Agile roles, but leaders at various levels, that have strayed from the essence of what Agile truly stands for. CTOs and Chief Product Owners find themselves ensnared in a rigid adherence to processes as well, even when those processes go against their stated intent of adopting Agile. Are Agile Roles Overhead? Craig and Michael raise critical questions about Agile roles, challenging their perceived value and longevity within organizations. Is there a risk of losing sight of the original intent behind roles like Scrum Master and Product Owner? Are these positions temporary or do they inadvertently add another layer of complexity? The conversation als touches on the heart of Agile transformation: business agility. How can organizations efficiently deliver value to the market? There's concern that leaders have become disconnected from the actual work done by their teams. The very essence of leadership may be at risk of being diluted or misunderstood. Leadership in Software Organizations: A Glimpse into the Future In this segment, we discuss the Culture, Structure and Process aspects that we need to take into account to keep our organizations truly Agile, no matter what roles we end up having. Culture: Shaping Behaviors for Success The importance of culture in shaping organizational behavior cannot be overstated. Leaders must adapt to the unique cultures of their organizations, whether they're fast-moving and less structured or operate within a different paradigm. Structure: Redefining Hierarchies In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, do we need traditional hierarchies? Leaders must understand the core of their businesses and ensure they are moving in the right direction, but do they require the conventional structures that have become commonplace? Process: The Evolution Beyond Projects The notion of projects may be antiquated for software businesses. Start-stop methodologies may no longer align with the dynamic nature of the industry. The changes needed pose a significant challenge to the Agile community.

Show Notes Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I spoke with Jeremy Sinclair about how it's vital that developers understand the code that they are looking to fix, especially when the code they are fixing is complex. Sinclair also emphasises the importance of collective learning and collaboration in the workplace - it's never a competition. But one of the biggest things, says Sinclair, is our ability to learn in the open, using open-source technologies. "We can apply this over here, if we want this to work together as a full solution. I'll take this part and we need to upgrade this. I'm like, 'wow, this is awesome.' It was like full collaboration because there was so much stuff that I figured out by reading through the docs. I can't tell you how many times I've built the project, debugged, stepped through" - Jeremy Sinclair. So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Fergal Glynn, “A bad habit appearing at many companies is to put reps in the unenviable position of trying to hit their quota by feverishly working through as many opportunities as they can. But this isn't necessarily the ideal solution. Data-driven sales teams are finding that it is usually more effective to spend more time on qualification earlier in a sales cycle in an effort to only deliver the best opportunities to highly paid account executives.” I know this quote is lengthy, but the message is clear. I have been teaching many Business Development classes for my various clients. When I say that Business Development is 90% preparation, they all laugh. By the end of the course, the light bulbs go off. Planning and strategizing before you even begin outreach is paramount to saving time, money, and effort for every salesperson, team, or business owner. We think it's a waste of time. For 40 years, I have strategized, reviewed, and self-evaluated my skill development and planned every sales call before speaking with a prospect or client. It works!

We continue our conversation with Wytamma Wirth about write-the and all things AI. It starts with discussing the usage of language models, specifically ChatGPT, in writing boilerplate code, and how it can assist in generating code snippets, unit tests, and even documentation strings. The participants also explore the potential of incorporating it into code editors to make coding more efficient and less error-prone. The conversation then shifts to discuss the generation of research papers, specifically software announcements, by leveraging code documentation. The participants believe ChatGPT could be useful in generating introductions and backgrounds for such publications. They also touch upon the utility of language models in translating documentation into different human languages to assist non-native English speakers. The discussion returns to code documentation, focusing on the tool "write the docs" which auto-generates well-structured and searchable documentation websites. The participants appreciate the tool's ease of use and the potential it has in maintaining proper documentation for projects. The conversation ends with an acknowledgment of the importance of human oversight in automating tasks using language models.

The practice of "shift left," which involves moving security concerns to the code level and increasing developers' responsibility for security, is facing a backlash, with both developers and security professionals expressing concerns. Peter Klimek, director of technology at Imperva, discusses the reasons behind this backlash in this episode.Some organizations may have exhausted the benefits of shift left, while the main challenge for many isn't finding vulnerabilities but finding time to address them. Security attacks are now targeting business logic vulnerabilities rather than dependencies, which shift left tools are better at identifying. These business logic vulnerabilities are often tied to authorization decisions, making them harder to address through code-level tools. Additionally, attacks increasingly focus on the frontend, such as API development and cart attacks.Klimek emphasizes the need for development and security teams to collaborate and advocates for using DORA metrics to assess the impact of security efforts on the development pipeline. Some organizations may reach a point where the tools added to the development lifecycle become counterproductive, he notes. DORA metrics can help determine when this occurs and provide valuable insights for security teams.Learn more from The New Stack about Developer Security and Imperva:Why Your APIs Aren't Safe — and What to Do about ItWhat Developers Need to Know about Business Logic AttacksAre Your Development Practices Introducing API Security Risks?

Operational resiliency, as explained by Dormain Drewitz of PagerDuty, involves the ability to bounce back and recover from setbacks, not only technically but also in terms of organizational recovery. True resiliency means maintaining the willingness to take risks even after facing challenges. In a conversation with Heather Joslyn on the New Stack Makers podcast, Drewitz discussed the role of AI and automation in achieving operational resiliency, especially in a context where teams are under pressure to be more productive.Automation, including generative AI code completion tools, is increasingly used to boost developer productivity. However, this may lead to shifting bottlenecks from developers to operations, creating new challenges. Drewitz emphasized the importance of considering the entire value chain and identifying areas where AI and automation can assist. For instance, automating repetitive tasks in incident response, such as checking APIs, closing ports, or database checks, can significantly reduce interruptions and productivity losses.PagerDuty's AI-powered platform leverages generative AI to automate tasks and create runbooks for incident handling, allowing engineers to focus on resolving root causes and restoring services. This includes drafting status updates and incident postmortem reports, streamlining incident response and saving time. Having an operations platform that can generate draft reports at the push of a button simplifies the process, making it easier to review and edit without starting from scratch.Learn more from The New Stack about AI, Automation, Incident Response, and PagerDuty:Operationalizing AI: Accelerating Automation, DataOps, AIOpsThree Ways Automation Can Improve Workplace CultureIncident Response: Three Ts to Rule Them AllFour Ways to Win Executive Buy-In for Automation

Generative AI is becoming more common in our lives as the technology grows and evolves. There are now AI companions to help other AI models execute their tasks more efficiently, and Amazon CodeWhisperer (ACW) is among the best in the game. We are joined today by the General Manager of Amazon CodeWhisperer and Director of Software Development at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Doug Seven. We discuss how Doug and his team are able to remain agile in such a huge organization like Amazon before getting a crash course on the two-pizza-team philosophy and everything you need to know about ACW and how it works. Then, we dive into the characteristics that make up a generative AI model, why Amazon felt it necessary to create its own AI companion, why AI is not here to take our jobs, how Doug and his team ensure that ACW is safe and responsible, and how generative AI will become common in most households much sooner than we may think. Key Points From This Episode:Introducing the Director of Software Development and General Manager of Amazon CodeWhisperer at Amazon Web Services, Doug Seven. A day in the life of Doug in his role at Amazon. What his team currently looks like.Whether he and his team retain their agility in a massive organization like Amazon. A crash course on the two-pizza-team philosophy. How Doug ended up at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and leading ACW. What ACW is, how it works, and why you need it for you and your business. Assessing if generative AI models need to produce new code to be considered generative. Why Amazon felt it pertinent to create its own AI companion in ACW. How to use ACW to its full potential. The way recommendations change and improve once ACW has access to your code base. Examples that reiterate how AI is not here to take your job but to do the jobs you hate.Guardrails that ACW is putting up to ensure that it remains safe, secure, and responsible. How generative AI will become more accessible to the masses as it evolves.
Intro Allison Durham Focus: Exploring AI, Software Development, and the Human Mind What is the Human Mind? Allison doesn't make a distinction between the brain and the mind. She sees the mind as a dynamic range of cognitive experiences that include thoughts, perception, and self-awareness. The mind exists alongside the human experience and is fully integrated with bodily sensations. On Consciousness Allison discusses the topic of consciousness, noting that awareness can vary in its intensity. She mentions an intriguing question: Can awareness exist without the brain? She recalls an interesting conversation with a friend who asked her about consciousness and awareness. The Experience of Dreams Allison describes a dream she had that was "rooted in Earth," contrasting it with another dream featuring a monstrous, otherworldly creature. She emphasizes her ability to fully visualize experiences in her dreams, even though she struggles with visualization in her waking life. Aphantasia and Visualization Allison brings up the concept of Aphantasia, where people have difficulty visualizing images. She explores the idea that visualization might be trainable, mentioning techniques such as the "candle technique" to improve skill. She notes that while most people can recall memories with images, these people also often have underdeveloped other sensory recall like smell and hearing. Software Development and AI Allison talks about Rust, a systems-level programming language she enjoys using. She delves into the concept of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), explaining it stems from Google's earlier operations methods. She praises GitLab for packaging all the tools needed for DevOps, making it more accessible. She explores the concept of MLOps, which focuses on getting machine learning models into production. She finds the speed of open-source AI development both exciting and challenging, noting that problems can't be fully solved before new ones appear. Personal Psychology Framework Allison discusses her psychological framework, leaning heavily on mindfulness-based tactics. She believes in being fully aware of one's thoughts and emotional state, and she finds this awareness essential for taking proper action in life. Final Thoughts She mentions her website, AdjectiveAllison.com, and her social media handle, AdjectiveAllison on X. Time Stamps: 2:30 - Discussing the nature of the mind and its relationship to the brain and awareness 5:00 - Allison explains her experience with aphantasia 7:30 - Stuart talks about training himself to visualize through meditation 9:00 - Whether imagination and visualization can be trained as skills 11:00 - Allison's perspective on not training her own visualization abilities right now 12:00 - Allison's interest in learning Rust programming language 14:00 - Using ChatGPT to assist with engineering problems as a "rubber duck debugger" 16:00 - Explanation of DevOps, APIs, serverless solutions like Repl.it 19:00 - How AI may or may not change API and engineering architectures 21:00 - Automation as connecting APIs; engineers building instead of using no-code 23:00 - AI unlikely to change API interface itself, complexity happens behind it 24:00 - Allison's favorite psychological framework is mindfulness 25:30 - Aligning with specific frameworks depending on the problem
Bret is joined by Demetrius Malbrough and Joseph D'angelo from Veritas, the company that makes NetBackup amongst many other data protection tools.NetBackup has been around at least 25 years and I've been using it over 20 years, although not recently. So we had the two gentlemen from Veritas on the show to break down the evolution of NetBackup to a Kubernetes native backup solution. We also talked about additional products that make sense in a backup context, like their InfoScale storage management solution, and we tried to break down some of the technicals. What are we talking about when we mean deploying NetBackup on Kubernetes? How does InfoScale fit into that? And generally, just helping me catch up with the last few years as NetBackup 10.0 has been released. I asked lots of questions and we got some interesting questions from the audience.The Live recording of the complete show from October 19, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #238).★Topics★Veritas Kubernetes solutionsInfoScale Free Developer Edition60 day–trial of Veritas InfoScale for KubernetesCreators & Guests Bret Fisher - Host Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Demetrius Malbrough - Guest Joseph D'Angelo - Guest You can also support my free material 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 (01:15) - Introducing the guests (03:38) - The Evolution of NetBackup (07:45) - The NetBackup Pitch (10:52) - How is NetBackup Deployed?
