008 Where Is Everything Going?

I hope you can spot the multiple puns in this title ;) We talk about Nicolas' Go exploration. The scaling issues of GitHub, the mythical Model from Anthropic, the future of Open Models.. and where Philipp is going to next?

007 Rage Against the Hype

We talk about the importance of learning concepts and languages instead of just generating everything. We also discuss how the constant rush in the industry is unhealthy and creates unnecessary FOMO, along with a few notable libraries we explored over the past weeks for JavaScript sandboxing and Ruby GraphQL optimizations.

006 A Bright Future for Dev Tooling

The conversation centers around the exploration of development environments, challenges with code editors, discussion on LM providers, cost considerations of LM usage, exploring new programming languages, Rust and Go as development languages, improving legacy tooling with Rust, and AI development and complexity.

005 Hacking Again

We're back after a quick break and talk about the differences in the JS ecosystem on the backend side. Also, a new category: bug of the week, and we talk a bit about a project we hacked on to put an agent in a sandbox.

004 Engineering Career Ladder

We start the episode and talk about Oban for Python, sharding in Postgres with PgDog, and Next.js by Cloudflare. And then we dig deeper about career ladders and promotions.
