Episode Summary:https://constraintcalculator.scoreapp.com/In this eye-opening solo episode, Jordan Ross, founder of 8 Figure Agency, breaks down a critical and often overlooked issue holding agencies back from true AI integration: schema and tech stack structure.

App entwickeln, Freiheiten genießen – und davon leben?Klingt wie die ultimative Entwickler:innen-Fantasie, ist aber auch eine verdammt harte Challenge. Was wirklich hinter den Buzzwords Indie Hacking, Bootstrapping und Build in Public steckt, darum geht es in dieser EpisodeWir sprechen mit Sebastian Röhl: Ex-Softwareentwickler, Indie-Maker und Macher von Habit Kit, einer der beliebtesten Habit-Tracking-Apps in den Stores.

Wir erfahren, warum ein Side-Project sich nie einfach nach Feierabend runtercodet, was Community wirklich bringt, wie Build in Public und schnelles Feedback helfen und warum App Store Optimization (ASO) sein wichtigster Marketingkanal wurde. Nebenbei lernen wir auch, warum Pricing-Tricks mit Lifetime- und Subscription-Modellen so ein heißes Eisen sind – und wie Sebastian seinen Tech Stack mit Flutter für beide Plattformen meistertKlartext, Inspiration und Deep Dive: Was funktioniert, was knallhart schief gehen kann, welche Hürden Indie-App-Entwicklung wirklich mit sich bringt – und was der BESTE nächste Schritt ist, wenn du selbst loslegen willst.Bonus: Entwickler:innen lieben Heatmaps im GitHub-Style scheinbar wirklich.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

The CFO software ecosystem is highly fragmented and ripe for disruption. Sean Jacobsohn, partner at Norwest, has a front-row seat to the action: He's backed 10 companies selling to CFOs, while Norwest has invested in 20. Having identified 300 companies in 15 different categories operating in the space, he joins CJ to share takeaways from his market map of the evolving CFO software stack. They dig into what's driving disruption, how new players are challenging legacy systems, and what it takes for founders to stand out. The conversation spans everything from the staying power of spreadsheets to the debate between building for verticals versus horizontals, the future of FP&A, and how AI agents might reshape the stack. Sean delves into the dynamics of partnerships, outlining five key rules for successful collaborations.

In this episode of Builders Wanted, we're joined by Eric Helmer, Chief Technology Officer at Rimini Street. Eric shares his insights on how to modernize mission-critical systems without compromising performance. Learn about the misconceptions about tech modernization, the importance of agility and flexibility in tech stacks, and the shift from reactive to proactive IT roles.-------------------Key Takeaways:The importance of modernizing critical systems without diving headfirst into vendor-driven migrations to the cloud.Transparency in operations and involving end-users early in the process can build trust and ensure smoother transitions.By optimizing existing configurations and processes before implementing new technologies, organizations can achieve significant cost savings and efficiency gains.------------------- “ When you show organizations that you genuinely want to help them by showing them all the different options that they have in an agnostic way, it's a really best way to build fantastic relationships and keep that engagement simple and strategic.

Brian #1: Making PyPI's test suite 81% faster Alexis Challande The PyPI backend is a project called Warehouse It's tested with pytest, and it's a large project, thousands of tests. Steps for speedup Parallelizing test execution with pytest-xdist 67% time reduction --numprocesses=auto allows for using all cores DB isolation - cool example of how to config postgress to give each test worker it's on db They used pytest-sugar to help with visualization, as xdist defaults to quite terse output Use Python 3.12's sys.monitoring to speed up coverage instrumentation 53% time reduction Nice example of using COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon Optimize test discovery Always use testpaths Sped up collection time. 66% reduction (collection was 10% of time) Not a huge savings, but it's 1 line of config Eliminate unnecessary imports Use python -X importtime Examine dependencies not used in testing. Their example: ddtrace A tool they use in production, but it also has a couple pytest plugins included Those plugins caused ddtrace to get imported Using -p:no ddtrace turns off the plugin bits Notes from Brian: I often get questions about if pytest is useful for large projects. Short answer: Yes! Longer answer: But you'll probably want to speed it up I need to extend this article with a general purpose “speeding up pytest” post or series. -p:no can also be used to turn off any plugin, even builtin ones. Examples include nice to have developer focused pytest plugins that may not be necessary in CI CI reporting plugins that aren't needed by devs running tests locally Michael #2: People aren't talking enough about how most of OpenAI's tech stack runs on Python Original article: Building, launching, and scaling ChatGPT Images Tech stack: The technology choices behind the product are surprisingly simple; dare I say, pragmatic! Python: most of the product's code is written in this language. FastAPI: the Python framework used for building APIs quickly, using standard Python type hints. As the name suggests, FastAPI's strength is that it takes less effort to create functional, production-ready APIs to be consumed by other services. C: for parts of the code that need to be highly optimized, the team uses the lower-level C programming language Temporal: used for asynchronous workflows and operations inside OpenAI. Temporal is a neat workflow solution that makes multi-step workflows reliable even when individual steps crash, without much effort by developers. It's particularly useful for longer-running workflows like image generation at scale Michael #3: PyCon Talks on YouTube Some talks that jumped out to me: Keynote by Cory Doctorow 503 days working full-time on FOSS: lessons learned Going From Notebooks to Scalable Systems And my Talk Python conversation around it. (edited episode pending) Unlearning SQL The Most Bizarre Software Bugs in History The PyArrow revolution in Pandas And my Talk Python episode about it. What they don't tell you about building a JIT compiler for CPython And my Talk Python conversation around it (edited episode pending) Design Pressure: The Invisible Hand That Shapes Your Code Marimo: A Notebook that "Compiles" Python for Reproducibility and Reusability And my Talk Python episode about it. GPU Programming in Pure Python And my Talk Python conversation around it (edited episode pending) Scaling the Mountain: A Framework for Tackling Large-Scale Tech Debt Brian #4: Optimizing Python Import Performance Mostly pay attention to #'s 1-3 This is related to speeding up a test suite, speeding up necessary imports. Finding what's slow Use python -X importtime

When you're launching or scaling a machine shop, it's easy to think of software as a cost—something you "have to have" just to get by. But what if your tech stack could become your sharpest competitive edge?  In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, we are joined by returning guest and digital strategy expert Bryce Barnes to unpack why your software decisions might matter more than your next CNC machine purchase. They explore how an intentional, integrated digital backbone isn't just for managing data—it's about accelerating sales, boosting throughput, and future-proofing your shop. We share our own journeys with building digital infrastructure from scratch, transitioning off spreadsheets, and how we now see our systems as a key part of our brand. The reality is, when your systems are dialed in, they don't just save time—they win work. We've seen it ourselves: customers are more confident, audits are smoother, and top talent is easier to attract when you run a modern, connected operation. We break down the key components of a modern machine shop's digital ecosystem—from ERP and QMS to CAD/CAM, CRM, and even the email domain you choose when naming your business. We explain how integrations reduce risk and waste, why starting early simplifies everything later, and how a great tech stack not only saves time but wins customers. Whether you're quoting parts on an Excel sheet, trying to choose your first ERP, or just curious how cloud, AI, and machine monitoring can fit into your daily operations, this episode is an essential listen. It's not a tech tutorial—it's a business strategy conversation every shop owner needs to hear. The takeaway? Don't tack on software as an afterthought. Build your shop around it.
