We discussed the implications of chat GPT for it and the industry. In today’s episode, we spend a lot of time figuring out how data provenance governance, bias, and ownership will impact chat GPT in IT and technology and cloud contexts. This discussion really looks into how chat GPT can be used in disruptive ways, but also in protective ways as what we describe as guardrails for how these systems are going to get built. We come to some very interesting conclusions. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/aETNeRoDnspFnmPT3KcjBuHQTzE Image: https://www.pexels.com/photo/surprised-young-woman-browsing-mobile-phone-3771127/

What is the architectural balance between learning curve, architecture, building things that can scale while acknowledging overhead, and the attitude of just get it done? Don't make my tools complex and let me be very productive quickly. If it doesn't scale, then we see this as an ongoing challenge. Two engineers from RackN led today’s discussion in which we really talked about the balance that we try to achieve at RackN as we design our product, with the understanding that, ultimately, scale really does matter. If users have trouble understanding how the product works, at first, that learning curve can push people away, so that they never actually get into the product. That’s where finding the right balance is absolutely essential to success.

We do a 2022 retrospective slash 2023 prediction episode - a sort of end of the year classic for us, except our predictions and look ahead are different from most people's. We're looking at some broader trends around software, build materials, impact of GPT (which will be a future episode), edge Technology, cloud adoption, security, faults and failures. Not your garden variety look back look ahead type of show.

Platform engineering is a topic that seems to be generating a lot of interest going into 2023. It’s sure to be one of those things that enterprises spend a lot of time arguing about and telling each other that they're doing it wrong. In this podcast, we dissect why platform engineering seems to be so controversial, and what we can do to help make it more understandable. We break it down into DevOps components, team components, Dev components, operations components, and ultimately talk about long term trajectories of how all this stuff is going.

There’s a lot to the evolving world of web three, crypto, and distributed infrastructure blockchain, jump and distributed ledger. That environment has changed dramatically in the last several weeks with the crypto winter followed by the ft x implosion. It has really changed people's perception of the market, which is much broader than just crypto but yet they are very closely coupled. In this podcast, we're going to discuss what happened and what the ramifications are, why things like this do happen and how the industry around web three and smart contracts and various applications for this technology can or should pick up the pieces and continue.

How does the Kubernetes admission controller work, what are the failure modes and what do we need to guard against? Today, we discuss almost everything that you need to know to understand the admission controller process better and to think about it in a secure, robust and resilient way. I can't think of a better primer on today’s topic and Kubernetes architecture more generally, I am certain you will enjoy the discussion.

How do we make social networks safe? Who we make them safe for is really important, and today we talked about making them safe for brands, advertisers and communities. These groups want to organize in technical and professional ways, not just to prevent harm for the users or the safety of the users from persecution. We drilled into Mastodon specifically as a haven for Twitter users and how the federated system that Mastodon uses could actually be a really fantastic commercial model for brands that want to go beyond advertising to focus on content generation and sharing.

We dig into the news of the day instead of a scheduled topic on today’s podcast. This news was about Twitter, and what is going on in the social media landscape. We have a fantastic 2030 style conversation, not specifically about Twitter, or even its new owner, but social media and its needs, how people think about social media, what societal purpose it serves, and how we construct the back ends to support those systems. We talked about alternative platforms and historical platforms, as well as objectives and benefits of a social media platform including content moderation and who pays for it. A fascinating conversation for everybody who's consuming social media.

Klaus and I go through what happened at the Kubecon North America event in Detroit. Specifically, lessons learned in watching how the community reacts to new technologies like CRDs, declarative programming, and cluster APIs. We also discuss the health of the community and the operators and vendors who were involved. We give our impressions and insight - this conversation deep dives into practical use and futures in Kubernetes.

Distributed ID is a web three concept of being able to use zero trust and identify users without having a central authority. In this conversation, we talk about critical concepts like Open ID trust government actions, and how this could be influential and important in a web three and IoT context. We really drill into how the system works, and I know you will enjoy the conversation Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/X_5lffVEG0LUTgsyoDOx5sJDwYM Images: https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-putting-a-passport-on-bag-842961/
