In this podcast, Shane Hastie, spoke to Duncan Grazier about transforming software engineering teams into polymorphic cultures where humans work alongside AI agents, requiring leaders to rethink career paths, focus more on communication and coaching skills, and navigate the implications of how the gap between junior and senior engineers rapidly closes due to AI augmentation.
By Duncan GrazierY Combinator startup Subtrace has released an open-source tool to help analyse network traffic from containerised applications. The creators have positioned it as "Wireshark for Containers " and aim to simplify network debugging in Docker and Kubernetes environments.
By Matt SaundersGoogle Labs has introduced Opal, an experimental no-code tool that enables users to create AI-powered mini-applications through natural language descriptions and a visual workflow editor.
By Daniel DominguezIn a recent article from the engineering team behind the Zero Trust product suite, Cloudflare explains why it chose TimescaleDB over ClickHouse to add analytics and reporting capabilities to its internal platform. The author highlights the “phenomenal balance” between the simplicity of storing analytical data alongside configuration data and the performance of a specialized OLAP system.
By Renato LosioCarlos Arguelles spoke about Amazon’s inflection points in engineering productivity at QCon San Francisco, where he explained that shift testing left can help catch issues early. He suggested using guardrails such as code reviews and coverage checks. Your repo strategy, monorepo or multirepo, will impact the guardrails that need to be in place.
