šŸŽ§ Podcast Releases

Ep 173: KubeCon Engineering Takeaways

(video version coming soon)

Nirmal and I recorded this special offline episode at KubeCon North America in Salt Lake City. We hung out at the AWS booth to break down the major trends and developments from the conference. 

The event drew a record-breaking 10,000 attendees, with roughly half being first-timers to the Cloud Native ecosystem. 

Starting with Cloud Native Rejekts and moving through the pre-conference events, we noticed Platform Engineering emerged as the dominant theme, with its dedicated conference track drawing standing-room-only crowds.

The main conference showcased a notable surge in new vendors, particularly in AI and security sectors. We dissect the key engineering trends, ongoing challenges in Cloud Native adoption, and insights gathered from various conferences including ArgoCon, BackstageCon, and Wasm Day. In our 40-minute discussion, we tried to capture the essence of what made this year's KubeCon significant.

Ep 172: Personal AI with Ken Collins

(video version coming soon)

We released a podcast last week from the show we did October 24th with our friend Ken Collins. We talk about using AI for more than coding, and if we can build an AI assistant that knows us.

We touch on a lot of tools and platforms. We're bit all over the place on this one, from talking about AI features in our favorite note taking apps like Notion, to my journey of making an open AI assistant with all of my Q&A from my courses, thousands of questions and answers, to coding agents and more. We've both been trying to find value in all of these AI tools for our day-to-day work, so check it out and see what you think.
