Podcasts about Software engineering

In this episode, we explore how AI is transforming education, from classrooms to corporate training. What changes are needed in schools and universities? How does AI affect both students and educators? And how should companies rethink internal training and hiring to stay competitive?To answer these questions, we're joined by Rainer Stropek, CEO of Software Architects and Chairman of Coding Club Linz. With decades of experience teaching at high schools and universities—and helping organizations upskill their engineers—Rainer brings a unique perspective on how software engineering education is evolving.While many view AI as a threat, Rainer sees it as a “Christmas gift”—opening up endless opportunities to learn, adapt, and innovate.Tune in to hear why curiosity is more important than ever, how educational institutions can prepare future engineers, and why organizations must step up to ensure everyone has a fair chance to succeed in the age of AI.Links we discussedRainer's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rainerstropek/Rainer's Website: https://rainerstropek.me/CodeClub: https://codeclub.org/en/Coder DoJo Linz: https://linz.coderdojo.net/

As AI vendors hype “recursive self-improvement” and other scary features, we see more and more “mainstreaming” of AI technology in business. In other words, the AI does not solve problems by itself: we as HR and IT leaders need to clearly define our needs and then buy, build, and tune the technologies we buy. Some AI vendors (ie. Paradox, Radancy, Sana, Maki, others) are laser focused on very specific use-cases, and they are delivering solution-first offerings that really add value. The frontier vendors, however, are struggling to do this and much of their revenue still comes from “enabling others” to create solutions. And the new usage-based pricing is forcing this kind of pragmatic thinking. In this podcast I highlight this “commoditization” of core AI features and explain why your “problem identification” work is perhaps the biggest effort in the HR 2030 Agentic HR strategy.

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2025.https://gotocph.comAbby Bangser - Principal Engineer at Syntasso & Team Topologies AdvocateDave Farley - Bestselling Author, Founder & Director of Continuous Delivery Ltd.RESOURCESAbbyhttps://bsky.app/profile/abangser.bsky.socialhttps://twitter.com/a_bangserhttps://github.com/abangserhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/abbybangserhttps://www.syntasso.io/members-area/abby/profileDavehttps://bsky.app/profile/davefarley77.bsky.socialhttps://www.continuous-delivery.co.ukhttps://linkedin.com/in/dave-farley-a67927https://twitter.com/davefarley77http://www.davefarley.netDESCRIPTIONDave Farley and Abby Bangser open with a clear statement: Continuous Delivery isn't a relic of the pre-AI era — it's the foundation that makes the AI era survivable. Dave's definition is simple but consequential: software should always be in a releasable state, verified after every small change. That's not just a workflow preference; it's the same incremental, hypothesis-driven approach that underpins science and engineering. In an AI-assisted world where code can be generated far faster than humans can reason about it, the discipline of small, safe, verifiable steps becomes more critical, not less. The danger isn't AI writing bad code — it's AI writing a lot of code very fast that nobody is properly checking.The conversation turns to a genuinely alarming DORA report statistic: 70% of developers using AI tools don't distrust the output. Abby draws a parallel to the long-running debate over whether developers can be trusted to test their own code — they usually can't, without a deliberate change in perspective. The same challenge applies to AI-generated code: you need to consciously shift from "prompter" mode to "verifier" mode, and most developers aren't making that switch. Dave closes with a surprising note of optimism: AI may be the industry's best-ever opportunity to finally get XP practices — small increments, automated tests, continuous feedback — embedded into how teams actually work. Not because anyone chose to adopt them ideologically, but because working without them while using AI is visibly, measurably risky.Read the full abstract here:https://gotocph.com/2025/sessions/3779RECOMMENDED BOOKSKief Morris • Infrastructure as Code • https://amzn.to/4e6EBQcMatthew Skelton & Manuel Pais • Team Topologies • http://amzn.to/3sVLyLQDave Thomas • simplicity • https://amzn.to/43FghBJDave Farley & Jez Humble • Continuous Delivery • https://amzn.to/3ocIHwdDavid Farley • Modern Software Engineering • https://amzn.to/3GI468MDave Farley • Continuous Delivery Pipelines • https://amzn.to/3rjetdiBlueskyInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!

The skills problem isn't going anywhere — it's just wearing new clothes. In this episode, I unpack how the lessons we learned decades ago (limiting work in progress, the theory of constraints, test-driven development) are coming roaring back as the fundamentals that will carry you through the agentic shift. The bottleneck has moved, and knowing where it went changes how you should work. A lot of what we're learning about building with agentic tooling isn't new at all — it's a re-emphasis on lessons software engineers learned twenty years ago, just arriving in a new form. In today's episode, I walk through why the fundamentals are becoming more important than ever, why so many of us feel scattered despite having the most powerful tooling we've ever had, and where the real bottleneck in software delivery has quietly moved. My goal isn't to convince you that your job is now babysitting AI — it's to show you which parts of the work are still squarely yours, and how older principles can make you faster and more confident right now. Limiting Work in Progress Is Back: Just because you can spin up fifty agents doesn't mean you should split your focus across fifty things. Orchestrated fan-outs are powerful, but a human juggling agents across hiring, on-call, and a project all at once still pays the same old context-switching tax — and the quality drops while the speed never improves. Work Deeper, Not Wider: Instead of spreading yourself shallowly across more tickets, run multiple sessions on the same domain. Write a competing or adversarial version that critiques your assumptions, develop better documentation, or capture what you're learning as a reusable skill. Depth beats breadth. The Scattered-Engineer Epidemic: Engineers are burning out faster, not slower. We have the capacity to push more through the pipeline, so we're getting handed (or choosing) more than we can carry. Reducing parallelism often holds your delivery speed steady while dropping your cycle time and raising quality. The Theory of Constraints, Revisited: Treat your software development lifecycle as a pipeline with a bottleneck — and if you can't find one, you've optimized one part too far. Writing code used to be the choke point, so we spent enormous energy de-risking work before it ever reached an engineer. The Bottleneck Has Moved: When production gets cheap, it's no longer worth heavily de-risking upstream — which is why engineers are picking up more experimental, proof-of-concept, discovery work, and product folks are prototyping with these tools too. The new constraint isn't writing the code; it's verifying the agent didn't ship something broken. Verification Scales With Your Effort: The more an agent produces, the bigger the pile of PRs, MRs, and outputs waiting on human review. That backlog is the new bottleneck — and skepticism is creeping in because we're not even sure our tests are sufficient to verify what the agent built. Why TDD Fits This Moment: The honest question isn't "Can I trust the agent?" — it's "What verification loop do I need to build so I can trust it more?" Clear requirements feed a clear testing loop: write the failing test, let the agent write the code to turn it green, and you bridge the gap between requirements gathered and requirements met. It's not as simple as "go write a test," but it's a strong fit for where we are right now. Episode Homework: Go dig into the fundamentals — limiting WIP, the theory of constraints, test-driven development. Find the old lesson that still applies to your workflow today, bring it to your team's flow, and email me about what you discover.

Today's kindergartners will retire in 2082, but are we preparing them for that world or ours? In this episode, Dr. Michael Conner sits down with Stewart Brown, Director of Partnerships at Code4Kids, to challenge the "21st century" trap that's already widening the gap for Generation Alpha and Beta.Stewart and Michael dig into why coding is becoming as essential as cursive, a fundamental literacy every student needs, not just a technical skill for future developers. They explore how cross-curricular computer science can bridge math, science, arts, and social studies, and why the education system urgently needs to move beyond outdated frameworks and embrace what Stewart calls 22nd-century thinking.The conversation unpacks why understanding technology matters far more than becoming a software engineer, and how Code for Kids is already reshaping what digital literacy looks like in practice, through connective, curriculum-integrated education that gives students real agency in a technology-saturated world.Stewart Brown is a multiple founder of international EdTech companies and a trusted voice in AI literacy in education. Code for Kids, launched in 2018, integrates coding, robotics, digital literacy, and STEAM across the curriculum.This is essential listening for educators, administrators, and parents asking the question that matters most: how do we truly prepare students for their future?

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Ellyse Cedeno, founder of Heuristic Salvo and a software engineer and product leader with more than 25 years of experience across early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems. Ellyse shares the winding path that took her from early search engines and Netscape to game development, medical research at Mount Sinai, and eventually to Elixir. Along the way, she talks about staying curious over a long technical career, rediscovering joy through side projects, and why being willing to feel like a beginner again can be one of the most useful skills a developer can build. The conversation explores what it means to grow as an engineer in a world where AI tooling is becoming part of the everyday workflow. Ellyse makes the case that technical skill still matters, but the human parts of software development (like judgment, curiosity, communication, trust, and influence) are becoming increasingly important. We also talk about soft influence and how developers can create change inside organizations without relying on hard authority. Key Topics Discussed in this Episode: Ellyse's career path through early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems Moving from Netscape and search engines to medical research and software consulting Discovering Elixir through an interest in concurrent and distributed systems Why beginner's mindset still matters after decades in tech How neurodivergence, curiosity, and deep focus shape Ellyse's approach to programming Rediscovering joy in programming through side projects and experimentation Building an MMORPG game server in Elixir Exploring hardware, Nerves, and live theremin demos The role of passion projects in professional growth Protecting time for learning in productivity-focused environments Work-life balance differences between the U.S. and Europe How AI tools are changing expectations for modern developers Why AI does not replace judgment, taste, or technical understanding Understanding business needs instead of only focusing on technical preferences Introducing Elixir into a TypeScript-heavy organization Using Elixir microservices to solve specific technical problems What “soft influence” looks like in engineering teams Building trust through one-on-one conversations Knowing when influence is working and when it is not Negotiating technical decisions without turning them into power struggles The relationship between technical competence and interpersonal skill Managing imposter syndrome during pair programming and collaborative work Documentation as a visibility and ownership tool Community involvement, conference speaking, and finding your people Staying curious without burning out Why the human side of software development still matters Links Mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape Icahn School of Medicine at Mt.

The skills that survive every industry shakeup aren't the ones you can Google — they're softer, harder to name, and far more durable. In this episode, Jonathan explores principle-oriented thinking: the practice of stripping away the labels we attach to tools, roles, and even ourselves to see what something actually does at its core. It's the difference between handing your coding off to an agent and rethinking your entire workflow around what these new materials are truly capable of. If you've been following along with our recent focus on durable skills, you know we've been hunting for the abilities that translate beyond this month, this year, or whatever AI does to our industry next. Today's skill doesn't have a tidy name you can search for — it's softer than that. Jonathan calls it "principle-oriented thinking": the habit of deconstructing the labels we put on things to understand their core components, properties, and capabilities. It's how NASA engineers turned a sock into a water filter on Apollo 13, and it's how forward-thinking engineers are reframing what AI can actually do rather than jamming it into a predetermined slot. Labels Are Useful Shortcuts — Until They Aren't: Every label, from "software engineer" to "sock," carries baggage, heuristics, and presupposition. That's not a flaw — labels are how we move through the world quickly. But when a label is the only lens you have, it quietly caps how much value you can get out of the thing you're looking at. The Apollo 13 Sock: When the crew needed to fix a life-threatening problem with mismatched parts, the engineers on the ground had to forget what a sock was for and ask what it actually is — a piece of cloth with tensile strength, flexibility, and filtering properties. Strip the assumption that it goes on a foot, and a whole new set of uses opens up. Stop Slotting AI Into Old Roles: The common move is to take one responsibility — coding, debugging, refactoring — hand it to an agent, and keep everything else the same. That works, but it's low-leverage. The more powerful approach starts by asking what the agent is fundamentally capable of, then rebuilding the workflow around those raw materials. See Things as Materials, Not Fixed Functions: When you deconstruct out from under a label, tools and concepts start to look like craftable raw materials. You can then combine them in new, valuable ways they haven't been combined before — alloying old methods with new capabilities to create properties neither had on its own. Reason From Properties, Not Personas: Ask what the actual properties of an LLM are. Non-determinism isn't a bug to apologize for — it's a property you can exploit. The existence of many different models is a property too, which is exactly what makes adversarial review possible. That's principle-oriented thinking applied to agents. Extend the Latticework: Charlie Munger talked about a latticework of mental models that weave together rather than sit in isolation. The durable skill isn't quarantining your concept of "AI" off to the side — it's grafting a new section onto the existing tapestry and letting it reshape everything you already understood. Episode Takeaway: Look at how you spend your time and ask new questions of it. What is the material here? What kind of thinking does the agent actually do? What can a human do that an LLM can't — and the other way around? That's how you avoid believing a sock is only ever good for a foot.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with software engineer and entrepreneur Arowolo Muritadhor for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from agriculture and manufacturing in Nigeria to the evolving role of crypto in the country's economy. They touch on how hyperinflation, particularly the naira's dramatic drop in 2023, pushed Nigerians toward stablecoins as a practical savings tool, and how informal kiosk networks have stepped in where traditional banking infrastructure falls short. The conversation also covers the tension between government regulation and the permissionless nature of blockchain technology, comparisons between the decline of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic dominance, the role of mobile payments in Africa, language learning, and whether AI agents have any real utility in crypto infrastructure yet. You can connect with Arowolo on LinkedIn and X at @armolas_06.Timestamps00:00 - Host welcomes Arowolo Muritadhor, introducing topics of software engineering and animal food production in Nigeria.05:00 - Discussion shifts to manufacturing, components assembly, and China's dominance in low-cost production globally.10:00 - Conversation explores crypto adoption in Nigeria as a network state phenomenon, separating informed users from mainstream population.15:00 - Mobile payments and kiosk ATM replacements emerge as critical financial infrastructure bridging unbanked Nigerians.20:00 - Roman Empire parallels drawn to modern crypto taxation, government control, and inevitable death-and-taxes reality.25:00 - Bitcoin and Ethereum permissionless nature debated against government wallet-level censorship vulnerabilities.30:00 - AI agents examined as crypto infrastructure tools, revealing mostly trading bots rather than foundational builders.35:00 - Nigeria's 2023 naira collapse compared to Argentina's hyperinflation, driving citizens toward stablecoin dollar savings.40:00 - US Treasury history unpacked through FDR gold confiscation and Nixon ending convertibility, paralleling empire decline.45:00 - Crypto reframed as anti-bank rather than purely anti-government, enabling freedom through immutable accountability.50:00 - Transparent blockchain ledgers discussed as potential government accountability tools across democracy, republic, and oligarchy structures.Key Insights1. Nigeria has a significant divide between its northern and southern regions in terms of economic activity. The north, centered around Abuja, is more agricultural with substantial cattle production, while Lagos in the south functions as a dense urban and commercial hub. This geographic and economic split shapes how different financial tools and technologies are adopted across the country.2. China's dominance in low-cost manufacturing has made it nearly impossible for countries like Nigeria, the United States, or Argentina to compete on price alone. The more realistic path for developing economies is to import components and focus on local assembly and creativity, which is where meaningful economic participation becomes possible.3. Crypto adoption in Nigeria accelerated dramatically around 2023 when the naira experienced a sharp devaluation against the US dollar. Before that point, saving in dollars was difficult for many Nigerians, especially those without formal bank accounts, making stablecoins like USDT an attractive and practical alternative for preserving wealth.4. Informal kiosk operators in Nigeria have organically become a substitute for ATMs, giving communities access to basic financial services where traditional banking infrastructure does not reach. This grassroots financial layer is now a key entry point for integrating crypto and stablecoin payments into everyday commerce.5. Governments are increasingly trying to regulate crypto at the wallet and centralized exchange level, using tax compliance as a primary mechanism. While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain largely permissionless, the practical chokepoints for most users remain centralized platforms where identity and transactions can be monitored.6. The historical parallel between the fall of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic and geopolitical power offers a useful frame for understanding why crypto matters. Just as Rome debased its currency and struggled to sustain imperial costs, the US faces mounting debt and a financialized economy that may accelerate dollar instability and push more people toward alternative stores of value.7. One genuinely constructive use case for blockchain beyond speculation is immutable accountability, particularly for public institutions and prediction markets. A transparent ledger that governments or officials voluntarily adopt could create verifiable records of decisions and promises, reducing corruption and increasing trust in ways that traditional governance structures have struggled to achieve.

Jennifer St Pierre is Senior Vice President of Developer Experience and Transformation at Dell Technologies, where she leads the strategy for how Dell's Infrastructure Solutions Group builds, operates, and evolves software.In this session from DX Annual, Jen argues that the biggest challenge in adopting agentic AI is not the technology itself, but the people transition behind it. Drawing on lessons from earlier shifts like Agile, DevOps, and cloud adoption, she explains why organizations that treat AI as a simple tooling rollout may get compliance, but not commitment.Jen outlines five leadership imperatives for navigating the transition: building a shared understanding of why change is happening, defining a clear future state, clarifying how roles will evolve, creating psychological safety for experimentation, and aligning metrics and organizational structures with new ways of working. Throughout the talk, she emphasizes that while AI may generate code, humans remain responsible for direction, judgment, and meaning.Where to find Jennifer St Pierre: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-st-pierre-4935a81In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(00:13) Why every major technology shift is ultimately a people transition(05:00) AI-generated code and the evolving role of software engineers(07:43) The importance of developing a shared understanding(12:00) Defining a clear future state and how engineering roles will evolve(19:12) How psychological safety enables experimentation and honest feedback(22:41) Why metrics and organizational structure must evolve for the age of AI(25:40) Why leaders must drive AI transformation intentionallyReferenced:• Measuring developer productivity with the DX Core 4• Understand team effectiveness 

Agentic engineering is quickly becoming one of the most important shifts in software development.In this episode, I sit down with Scott Breitenother, Co-Founder & CEO of Kilo Code, to discuss why individual coding assistants won't drive the future of software development, but by autonomous AI agents capable of planning, building, testing, and shipping software.Scott shares the journey from building and selling Brooklyn Data Company to launching Kilo, an open-source agentic engineering platform designed to help developers become dramatically more productive in the AI era.We discussed product-market fit, engineering adoption, the realities of competing with Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code, and what engineering leaders should be thinking about as AI fundamentally changes how software teams operate.If you're a founder, engineering leader, developer, or simply interested in the future of AI-powered software development, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

This interview was recorded for GOTO Unscripted.https://gotopia.techRichard Feldman - Software Engineer at Zed Industries & Author of "Elm in Action"Anjana Vakil - Freelance Software Engineer & Developer EducatorCheck out more here:https://gotopia.tech/articles/442RESOURCESRichardhttps://bsky.app/profile/rtfeldman.bsky.socialhttps://twitter.com/rtfeldmanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rtfeldmanhttps://github.com/rtfeldmanAnjanahttps://bsky.app/profile/anjana.devhttps://github.com/vakilahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anjanavakilhttps://anjana.devLinkshttps://zed.devhttps://adventofcode.comhttps://www.roc-lang.orgDESCRIPTIONRichard Feldman and Anjana Vakil trace the Roc programming language's ambitious ground-up compiler rewrite — from Rust to Zig — which happened to coincide almost exactly with the year AI coding assistants went from useful to transformative. Richard describes how AI's role shifted over just 12 months: from mechanical test-porting grunt work, where it was reliable but limited, to genuine architectural collaboration on harder problems. The key insight is that guardrails don't live in prompts ("never do this" gets ignored constantly), they live in the code itself — invariants and automated feedback loops that catch the AI when it strays, rather than instructions it will cheerfully disregard.The conversation widens into what the AI era means for software quality and trust. Both are wary of the coming wave of AI-generated "slop" — buggy, mediocre software produced at scale — but Richard makes the counterintuitive case that competitive pressure might actually force quality up: if everything is slop, the products that aren't will stand out hard. Anjana draws a parallel to consumer electronics brand trust: just like we pay a premium for the USB-C cable we know won't cause a fire, developers and users will increasingly gravitate toward names and communities they can vouch for. The open source contribution model, they agree, needs new systems to navigate this — and Roc v1, due before the end of 2026, will be a test case.RECOMMENDED BOOKSRichard Feldman • Elm in Action • https://amzn.to/387kujIDean Bocker • Don't Panic!

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, hosts Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond sit down with Marek Šuppa, creator of the Missing GitHub Status page, a project that reconstructs GitHub's historical uptime data and reveals discrepancies between official status reporting and the platform's actual reliability. Marek tells us about his dev journey from open source contributor at DuckDuckGo to machine learning engineer at Cisco-acquired Slido. Then, we discuss GitHub's evolution from a hosted Git service into a critical developer tool. We cover reliability, transparency, AI-driven platform growth, developer workflows, and the challenges of balancing convenience with resilience. Along the way, we cover alternative platforms, self-hosted solutions, and whether recent outages are changing how developers think about ownership, dependency, and the future of software collaboration. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Why did Mr. Shu create the Missing GitHub Status Page? GitHub's reported uptime versus developer experiences How open source contributions shaped Marek's career The evolution of GitHub from tool to critical infrastructure Centralization risks in modern software development Git's distributed roots and today's platform-centric workflows Developer reactions to GitHub outages Transparency and accountability in status reporting AI's impact on developer platforms and infrastructure demands Microsoft's stewardship of GitHub Forgejo, Codeberg, and alternative Git hosting platforms Self-hosted Git solutions and tradeoffs Network effects and platform lock-in The social side of software collaboration Building resilience into developer workflows What GitHub outages teach us about infrastructure dependency Links Mentioned: The Missing GitHub Status Page https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ Slido https://www.slido.com/ https://duckduckgo.com/ The official GitHub Status Page https://www.githubstatus.com/ Statuspage.iohttps://www.atlassian.com/software/statuspage Zig Leaves GitHub https://ziglang.org/news/migrating-from-github-to-codeberg/ Ghostty Leaves GitHub https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github GitLab https://about.gitlab.com/ Codeberg https://codeberg.org/ https://git.kernel.org/ Forgejo Lightweight Self-Hosting https://forgejo.org/ Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke launches Entire https://entire.io/news/former-github-ceo-thomas-dohmke-raises-60-million-seed-round Update on Spain and LALIGA blocks of the internet https://vercel.com/blog/update-on-spain-and-laliga-blocks-of-the-internet

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, hosts Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond sit down with Saša Jurić, Elixir mentor and author of Elixir in Action, to discuss software craftsmanship in the age of AI. As AI coding tools become increasingly capable, Saša argues that the real challenge isn't generating code, it's maintaining quality, clarity, and shared understanding within a codebase. We explore the difference between correct code and good code, and why code is more than a set of instructions for a machine to execute. Code is also documentation, communication, and a long-term investment that future developers must be able to understand and maintain. Saša shares his concerns about the growing "theater of pull requests," where teams go through the motions of code review without creating meaningful opportunities for learning, feedback, or knowledge sharing. The hosts and Saša talk about practical ways to work effectively with AI, including taking smaller steps, carefully reviewing AI-generated code, and using AI as a collaborative tool rather than an autonomous developer. Throughout the discussion, Saša challenges the industry's obsession with speed and makes the case that the principles of good software development (incremental progress, clear communication, and human judgment) remain important in the age of AI. Key Topics Discussed The difference between correct code and good code Code as communication, documentation, and shared understanding The "theater of pull requests" and ineffective review practices How AI is changing software development workflows Using AI as a collaborator rather than a replacement Why smaller, incremental changes lead to better outcomes Human oversight in AI-assisted development Balancing development speed with maintainability Pull request size and review effectiveness Commit history as a tool for storytelling and context The risks of accumulating technical debt faster with AI Testing and validating AI-generated code Refactoring AI-generated solutions for clarity Applying agile principles to AI-assisted workflows The role of experience and judgment in software design Why software craftsmanship still matters in the age of AI Links mentioned Code Complete by Steve McConnell https://khmerbamboo.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/code-complete-2nd-edition-v413hav.pdf Harness AI for DevOps, Testing, and AppSec https://www.harness.io/ Claude Code https://claude.com/product/claude-code Claude Code GitHub https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code Pull Request for Oban https://github.com/oban-bg/oban/pull/331 SMPP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Message_Peer-to-Peer OpenAI Codex https://chatgpt.com/codex/ Opus AI https://opus.ai/ Tidewave https://tidewave.ai/ Credo Static Code Analysis https://github.com/rrrene/credo https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s11-e09-static-code-analyzer-elixir-credo-ruby-rubocop/ Link to Sasa's X post https://x.com/sasajuric/status/2029522378196238503 Saša Jurić “Tell Me A Story” at Goatmire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOrKfCs-mr0 https://meks.quest/blogs/the-theatre-of-pull-requests-and-code-review Looks Good to Me: Constructive Code Reviews by Adrienne Braganza https://www.manning.com/books/looks-good-to-me Towards Maintainable Elixir: Testing https://medium.com/very-big-things/towards-maintainable-elixir-testing-b32ac0604b99 TDD, Where Did It All Go Wrong (Ian Cooper) https://youtu.be/EZ05e7EMOLMSpecial Guest: Saša Jurić.

Right now, the questions we have about our careers feel existential. We keep coming back to the same theme: how do you prepare for an industry that's changing this fast, and what mindset actually works in this new reality? One skill keeps surfacing as the answer — your ability to update your own mental models. In today's episode, I want to push on that further and put some of software engineering's most beloved thinking models under scrutiny. Some of these models served you well for years. Some of them now deserve to be challenged, replaced, or thrown out entirely — and learning how to tell the difference is itself the skill that will determine whether you hit a ceiling. Move Past "So What" Questions: The typical engineering objection to agentic coding is that it produces quality issues. But the people deciding to adopt these tools already accept that. Our job is to stop arguing the surface-level point and start asking the real one: so what do we actually do about this new economic reality? The Economics of Acceptable Loss: Abstraction always leaves something to be desired. An agent's code may not match what a staff engineer produces by hand over months — but that gap is usually an acceptable trade against shipping something two, three, or four times faster. Understand the cost-benefit picture instead of pretending the cost doesn't exist. Abstraction Has Always Done This: This isn't new. The calculator dissolved the specialization once required for complex math. Spreadsheets commoditized ledgering and accounting. Agentic coding is the same pattern arriving for our work — making something that required deep specialization suddenly far more accessible. Roles Are Blurring: As these generic tools raise everyone's ability to abstract, the boundaries soften. You're already seeing product managers open pull requests and engineers making product decisions. The neat lines around "what an engineer is" are not as fixed as they used to feel. Why Your Hard-Won Wisdom Is the Target: If you've spent years in this industry, your models were bought with blood, sweat, and failed projects. That experience is real wisdom — and it's exactly what I'm asking you to be willing to challenge, because the thing that always worked for you is the thing most likely to become a ceiling. This Skill Survives Either Way: Even if you think AI is mostly hype and I've been infected by it — fine. The ability to challenge your pre-existing models is a critical skill regardless. It's how you keep growing as you get more senior instead of repeating what used to work. Models Are Approximations: The whole point of a model is to approximate the reality around us. That's their value and their limitation. When the underlying reality shifts this dramatically, holding tightly to an old approximation stops being wisdom and starts being a liability.

If you're a software engineer right now, you likely feel like your world is changing overnight. We are writing half or less the amount of code that we wrote even a year ago, which represents a seismic, groundbreaking shift in our industry. For many of us, this career has always been engaging for deeply creative and intellectual reasons—and that excitement is still here. But our mental models of what it means to be a good engineer, and what it means to keep improving, have gone a little stale. In today's episode, I want to talk about a distinction that I believe will become the cornerstone mistake for seasoned engineers: confusing _practice_ with _adaptation_, and leaning on the wrong one at the worst possible moment. Two Surfaces Coming Into Contact: Picture your knowledge, skills, and toolset as one surface, and the actual state of the art as another. We've always known the surface area we could learn far exceeds what we can learn, which forces us to place bets on a learning strategy. What's changing is how fast that second surface is moving underneath us. Improvement by Practice vs. Improvement by Change: Practice is wielding what you've already adopted—smoothing out errors, building muscle memory, refining what you already know. Adaptation is fundamentally folding something new into your repertoire. Both are real forms of improvement, but they are not interchangeable. The Cornerstone Mistake for Senior Engineers: Later in your career, the time you spend adapting naturally goes down as you settle into practice. The biggest error I'm already watching engineers make is moving too quickly toward practice when the industry is loudly calling for adaptation instead. Inspect and Adapt—at the Right Altitude: Sprint retros were never really about getting marginally better at the thing you already do. The intent of "inspect and adapt" is to step up one level and examine the system. The trap is treating adaptation like a minor refinement—getting a little better at prompting—when it should mean asking whether you're thinking about prompting in the wrong way entirely. Question the Ratio, Not Just the Output: Real adaptation looks like asking whether you have the right mix of human and agent on a problem. Are you leaning on the agent for things you shouldn't, or failing to lean on it for the things you should? Have you genuinely thought about how sub-agents or an agent team are working the problem you're producing? A Spectrum, Not a Binary: On one end, you make micro-adjustments to your refinement process. On the other end of experimentation, you ask whether refinement—or even having engineers plan the work—is the right thing at all. The point isn't that practice is dead; it's that the industry is changing fast enough that the adaptive end of that spectrum deserves far more of your attention than it used to. Episode Homework: Take something you currently treat as a practice problem—"how do I refine tickets faster?"—and step up a level. Ask the adaptive version of the question instead: "Is refinement even the right thing anymore?"

In Elixir Wizards S15E04, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Somtochi Onyekwere, a software engineer at Fly.io and contributor to the Corrosion distributed database project, to talk about distributed systems, infrastructure resilience, and the growing fragility of centralized cloud platforms.   We discuss what recent outages across major providers reveal about modern infrastructure and why more teams are starting to rethink assumptions around reliability, failover, and system design. Somtochi explains how Fly.io approaches geographic distribution, eventual consistency, and replication across nodes, along with the trade-offs that come with building systems this way.   The conversation explores CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types), consensus, split-brain prevention, and what actually happens when distributed systems fail in production. We also talk about testing strategies, rollback planning, property-based testing tools, and how teams can reduce blast radius when things inevitably go wrong.   Along the way, we discuss AI infrastructure, sandboxing AI agents, and how newer workloads may add pressure to already centralized systems. The episode closes with practical advice for developers who want to build more resilient applications without over-complicating their architecture. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Corrosion and distributed database replication Centralized cloud fragility and recent outage patterns Distributed systems versus traditional cloud architectures Multi-region deployment strategies for Phoenix applications CRDTs and conflict resolution in distributed systems Eventual consistency versus strict consistency tradeoffs Consensus, leader election, and split-brain prevention Testing failover and recovery scenarios Property-based testing and Antithesis Rollback planning for database schema migrations Reducing blast radius through system isolation Health checks and blue-green deployment strategies Fly Proxy request routing and replay behavior Cross-region synchronization and replication challenges Single points of failure inside “redundant” systems Backup restoration testing and disaster recovery planning Network partitions and failure handling in production Infrastructure monitoring and operational visibility AI infrastructure workloads and operational strain Sandboxing and securing AI agents Sprites and AI workflows at Fly.io Latency improvements from geographic distribution Distributed systems tradeoffs in real-world environments Transitive dependency failures across cloud providers Practical resilience strategies for modern engineering teams Links Mentioned: https://fly.io https://github.com/superfly/corrosion https://docs.gitops.weaveworks.org/ FluxCD https://fluxcd.io/ Fly.io Stateful Sandbox Environments https://sprites.dev/ Cloudflare Workers AI Inference Platform https://www.cloudflare.com/products/workers-ai/ “An AI Agent Just Destroyed Our Production Data.

If you've heard that your job in the agentic coding era is to "become a manager of agents," you may have noticed something doesn't quite fit. Most of us never trained to be managers, and frankly, that's not the role most engineers want. In today's episode, I unpack what that shift _actually_ means — it's closer to a tech lead or architect mindset — and zoom in on a specific interviewing and on-the-job skill that will help you stay employable: how you think about, talk about, and take ownership of failure. Don't Just Bring Star Stories — Bring Failure Stories: Interviewers don't only want to hear how you succeeded. They want to know what you do when the pressure's on and things fall apart. If every story you tell is a highlight reel, there's a built-in social signal that you're hiding something. Get comfortable telling the other kind of story. Identify the Real Problem, Not the Proximal One: The most common failure story I hear in interviews is "the knowledge transfer was bad" or "the docs weren't good." That's not wrong — it's just incomplete. The senior mindset asks why that happened. Why didn't we have docs? Why was context insufficient? Walk it back until you hit something actionable but not too abstract. The Systemic Diagnosis is the Leveled-Up Answer: Fixing the proximal cause fixes this instance. Fixing the root cause fixes the system that keeps producing instances like this. When you connect what you learned to a systemic adjustment, you stop sounding like someone who survived a bad project and start sounding like someone who improves the organization around them. Ownership Means Owning the Outcome, Not the Task: Use the homeowner metaphor. A homeowner doesn't personally fix every leaking pipe — but the outcome of the home is theirs. As an engineer, your scope of ownership has expanded dramatically in the agentic era. You're now responsible for outcomes of code you may not have even read, and the deciding skill is how you carry that responsibility. The Word to Pair With Ownership is Relentlessness: Not in an anxious, burn-yourself-out way. Relentlessness means following a thread to its natural end — through escalation, through asking the next question, through finding the right person if it's not you. It's the antidote to "I'll let someone else handle it" syndrome. You Don't Have to Do It All Yourself: Relentless ownership is not "carry every task across the finish line personally." If you're not qualified, the owner's job is to find who is, communicate risk to stakeholders, and keep the trail alive until the outcome is resolved. That's the differentiator between a senior thinking engineer and a junior one working through assigned tickets. Failure Is Usually a Lapse in Ownership: If you make a list of five things you've failed at (and you should), you'll often find the through-line isn't lack of skill — it's that you stopped escalating, stopped following up, stopped staying with the thing until it was actually resolved. Episode Homework: Write down five real failures. For each one, ask: where did I stop being relentless? What system produced this outcome — and what would I change upstream next time?
