What the Dev?

In today's podcast episode, we talk about  Quarkus, a full-stack, Kubernetes-native Java framework that was created to help Java developers work in a more cloud-native world.The 2.0 release is scheduled for later this month and with us to talk about it is Rich Sharples, senior director of product management at Red Hat. 

In this podcast episode, we talk about how organizations need to apply the same principles of CI/CD to documentation to keep developers up to speed and to help out with onboarding. As business value evolves the SDLC at an ever-increasing pace, the developers that write certain code simply don’t have the time to create high-quality documentation with their current tools.Our guest this week is Omer Rosenbaum, the CTO at Swimm and the author of the newly released Continuous Documentation Manifesto.

In today's podcast episode, we talked about what is the best place to put your open-source project: the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) or the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and what really are the differences between the two. Here to talk with us today is Randy Abernethy, a managing partner at RX-M, a cloud-native training and consulting firm. 

In today's podcast episode, we talked about the future of in-person conferences and training (something that the software industry relied on heavily before the pandemic).  During the pandemic, much was to be learned from the massive growth of online conferences which allowed for more attendees and this will shape how in-person conferences happen moving forward. Joining us is Allie Magyar, the founder and CEO of the company Hubb that helps conference and meeting professionals plan and manage their onsite and online events from start to finish.

In this week's episode we spoke with Luis Ceze, professor at the University of Washington, co-creator of the Apache TVM project, and co-founder and CEO of OctoML. He spoke about how open source projects like Apache TVM make AI and machine learning more accessible to developers, as well as the foundations that need to be in place to increase AI adoption. 

In this week's episode, we talk about the problem of data leakage, which occurs when data scientists feed data that did not exist during the time of a past event to machine learning models. Monte Zweben, CEO of Splice Machine talks about how feature stores can help with this issue by validating when a data set actually occurred and then correcting these point-in-time consistency issues.

We talk all things security with Jeff Williams, co-founder of OWASP and CTO and co-founder of Contrast Security.
