This episode we meet Chris McCarty, the inspirational student and founder of Quit Clicking Kids, an organization advocating for children's rights in the digital age. Learn about the rise of “sharenting” and how Chris is fighting for legislative changes to safeguard minors from exploitation on social media platforms. We cover everything from the permanence of online content to getting Gen Z proactive about their privacy.In Watchtower Weekly, we unpack Adolescence (the Netflix show everyone can't stop talking about) and how AI agents are being used to help overwhelmed cybersecurity professionals.

The term 'vibe coding' — which first appeared in a post on X by Andrej Karpathy in early February 2025 — has set the software development world abuzz: everyone seems to have their own take on what it is, how it's done and whether it's a bold new chapter in the history of programming or an insult to anyone that's ever written a line of code. Clearly, then, we need to talk about vibe coding — and that's precisely what we do on this episode of the Technology Podcast. Featuring Thoughtworkers Birgitta Böckeler (AI for Software Delivery Lead) and Lilly Ryan (Cybersecurity Principal), who join hosts Neal Ford and Prem Chandrasekaran, we dive into the different understandings and applications of the concept, and discuss what happens when a meme collides with reality.

Surprise! In this bonus episode, Ralph Echemendia shares more of his experiences working as a Technical Supervisor on the Snowden movie.

AI is inherently dynamic: that's true in terms of the field itself, and at a much lower level too — models are trained on new data and algorithms adapt and change to new circumstances and information. That's part of its power and what makes it so exciting, but from a business and organizational perspective, that can make governance and measurement exceptionally difficult. How can we know that our AI is optimized for the right thing? How can we be sure it's oriented towards what we want it to be? This is where the concept of fitness functions can help. Broadly speaking, fitness functions are ways of measuring the extent to which a given solution is fulfilling its goals — so, in the context of AI, they can help teams ensure that AI systems are serving their intended purpose. In this episode of the Technology Podcast, Rebecca Parsons and Neal Ford — authors (alongside Pat Kua and Pramod Sadalage) of Building Evolutionary Architectures, the book which brought fitness functions into the software architecture space — join host Ken Mugrage to explore how the fitness function concept can help us better manage the dynamism of AI and, in doing so, overcome the challenge of bringing such systems into production. Learn more about Building Evolutionary Architectures: https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/books/building-evolutionaryarchitectures-second-edition    

How can we better define and clarify architectures to ensure consistency and control? If, as Neal Ford and Mark Richards discussed on a recent episode of the Technology Podcast, software architecture intersects with many different facets of software development and delivery, what can we do to better manage architectures in a way that is adaptable and dynamic? Neal and Mark return to the guest seats to speak again to host Prem Chandrasekaran about fitness functions and architecture as code, and explain why rethinking our approach to software architecture can help ensure greater alignment with organizational needs and objectives.  

What will it take for a great power today to remain one? Based on research from Jeffrey Ding, a professor at George Washington University, it's probably not the flashy technology everyone is focused on. We discuss his recent book, Technology and the Rise of Great Powers, as he challenges conventional wisdom about how technology has shaped the rise of great powers like the United States.Click here for the episode transcript

The release of DeepSeek's AI models at the end of January 2025 sent shockwaves around the world. The weeks that followed have been rife with hype and rumor, ranging from suggestions that DeepSeek has completely upended the tech industry to claims the efficiency gains ostensibly unlocked by DeepSeek are exagerrated. So, what's the reality? And what does it all really mean for the tech industry? In this episode of the Technology Podcast, two of Thoughtworks' AI leaders — Prasanna Pendse (Global Director of AI Strategy) and Shayan Mohanty (Head of AI Research) — join hosts Prem Chandrasekaran and Ken Mugrage to provide a much-needed clear and sober perspective on DeepSeek. They dig into some of the technical details and discuss how the DeepSeek team was able to optimize the limited hardware at their disposal, and think through what the implications might be for the industry in the months to come.

Who should be involved in the process of making decisions about software architecture? That's a question that's been puzzling Thoughtworker Andrew Harmel-Law for some time — so much so that he decided to write a book about it. The result is Facilitating Software Architecture. Published by O'Reilly in December 2024, it's both an argument for and a guide to involving more people in the architecture decision process. To discuss the topic and the book, Andrew joined hosts Neal Ford and Prem Chandrasekaran on the Technology Podcast. They explore why including more roles in software architecture matters today, some of the common objections to and risks of such an approach, alongside techniques and practices that can make doing it in fast-paced and dynamic organizations easier. "It's quite magical when you see this blossoming of understanding of what it is that architects do... It's not less architecture, it's more. It's just happening in a broader sphere." — Andrew Harmel-Law You can find Andrew's book on the O'Reilly website: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/facilitating-software-architecture/9781098151850/

Legacy modernization is an enduring challenge — and as systems become more complex, the difficulty of understanding and modelling a system so it can be modernized only becomes more difficult. However, at Thoughtworks we've seen some recent success bringing generative AI into the legacy modernization process. To discuss what this means in practice and the benefits it can deliver, host Ken Mugrage is joined by Thoughtworks colleagues Shodhan Sheth and Tom Coggrave. Shodhan and Tom have been working together in this space in recent months and, in this episode of the Technology Podcast, offer their insights into finding success with this novel combination. They explain how it can be implemented, the challenges and experiments they did on their way to positive results and what it means for how teams and organizations think about modernization in the future.

Are the frequent stories about data breaches in the news making us desensitized?

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of "Discover Daily," hosts Alex and Sienna explore groundbreaking advancements in medicine, cellular biology, and our understanding of Earth's planetary boundaries. First, they discuss the FDA's approval of Cobenfy, the first new medication for schizophrenia in over three decades. This novel antipsychotic targets cholinergic receptors in the brain, offering a potentially more effective and tolerable treatment option for the millions of adults living with schizophrenia.Next, the hosts dive into the discovery of EndoMac progenitors, a new type of cell found in adult mice that can transform into both blood vessel cells and immune cells. These unique cells show remarkable abilities to enhance wound healing, particularly in conditions like diabetes where healing is often impaired. The discovery of EndoMac progenitors, predicted by scientists over a century ago, could open up exciting new avenues for regenerative medicine and tissue repair.Finally, Alex and Sienna take an in-depth look at the concept of planetary boundaries, the environmental limits within which humanity can safely operate. A recent analysis found that six out of nine of these boundaries have now been crossed, including those for climate change, biodiversity loss, and land-system change. The hosts explain the interconnected nature of these boundaries and discuss the urgent need for transformative action to reduce human impacts on critical Earth systems. They explore the implications for the average person and highlight the importance of understanding these limits for guiding humanity towards a more sustainable future.Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Why should we stop using work laptops for personal use? Is your car sneakily selling your driving data? We answer all that and more in Watchtower Weekly.

If you've spent any time playing with modern AI image generators, it can seem like an almost magical experience; but the truth is these programs are more like a magic trick than magic. Without the human-generated art of hundreds of thousands of people, these programs wouldn't work. But those artists are not getting compensated, in fact many of them are being put out of business by the very programs their work helped create.Now, two computer scientists from the University of Chicago, Ben Zhao and Heather Zheng, are fighting back. They've developed two programs, called Glaze and Nightshade, which create a type of “poison pill” to help protect against generative AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E, helping artists protect their copyrighted, original work. Their work may also revolutionize all of our relationships to these systems.
